NOTES

  • This has only been verified to work with an OSTENT PS1 PS2 To PC USB 2.0 Controller Adapter Converter For Sony PS2 Wired Controller (Model Number/SKU: 014800). Other adapters may have issues.
  • You may be able to [use X360CE] to force a problematic adapter to work.
  • Tilt can range from unreliable to non-functional depending on your adapter!
  • RPCN Menus (for sending or accepting online invites) may cause a softlock. You may need an alternative input method to navigate these menus, such as [a typing keyboard or a gamepad].

How do I map my guitar?

    Click on the Pads icon at the top of RPCS3.

    It’s suggested to create a new configuration by clicking Add Configuration at the top right of the Pads window.
    This is so you can change configuration profiles in case you want to play games that don’t use instruments.

Map the following:

  • May need “Filter Noise” to bind correctly, depending on your luck. Sometimes the adapter is flooded by D-Pad presses.
  • Tilt can be set up but it is very complicated. It’s suggested to not bother with this and not use tilt.
    • To bind multiple buttons to one RPCS3 button, hold Shift then click on the RPCS3 button you want to assign multiple buttons to.

How do I use profiles?

    This is not recommended if you're using multiple controllers at once.

    After downloading the profile,

    1. Extract the .7z file.
    2. Drag the input configs folder into the configs folder where you have RPCS3 in.

    After that, you can select the profile in the “Pads” menu.

    Most of the time, these controller profiles should work out of the box. If they don’t, try changing the controller listed in “Devices”, next to the “Refresh” button until it receives an input. You can edit this while the game is running.
