Le développeur Osirisx qui a proposé à la communauté PS3 un plugin connu sous le nom de sp3xpad nous revient avec une nouvelle version v0.5 de son utilitaire permettant de supporter les contrôleurs Xbox 360 sur les PS3 disposant d'un CFW.
Ps3xpad est composé d'un pilote SPRX permettant d'utiliser une manette Xbox 360 sur PS3, qu'il est possible par exemple de charger par PRX Loader.
La nouvelle version v0.5 apporte le support de rumble dans les jeux et une nouvelle option pour personnaliser les PID/VIDs de xpad, pour cela il faut mettre les mains dans le cambouis et éditer le fichier xpad_devices.txt. De plus, il propose une version modifiée de webMAN Mod 1.42.1 intégrant le plugin et apporte quelques détails pour ceux qui disposent d'un CFW Rebug ou Cobra.
Voici le tutoriel LS :
Placez le fichier de SPRX à la racine du disque dur de votre PS3 (de dev_hdd0).
Sur votre ordinateur, ouvrez le bloc-notes et ajoutez une ligne "/dev_hdd0/xpad.sprx" (sans les guillemets).
Enregistrez comme un fichier txt nommé "boot_plugins.txt".
Placez ce fichier texte à la racine de votre disque dur PS3 à côté du plugin OsirisX.
Redémarrez votre PS3 et votre plugin doit être installé ou bien utiliser PRXLoader.
Method 1: Running XPAD with PRX Loader or Cobra boot_plugins + Button Combo
This method will run xpad first in VSH and then switch to a game after it has booted.
1. Copy the plugins folder to /dev_hdd0/.
You should have the directory /dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/ with xpad_vsh.sprx, xpad_game.sprx and xpad_devices.txt in it.
Note: If you use gameDATA utility, you will need to transfer the folder after you enable gameDATA.
2. Add this line to plugins.txt if you're using PRX Loader or to boot_plugins.txt if you're using Cobra:
/dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/xpad_vsh.sprx
3. Either reboot your PS3 or run PRX Loader to run the xpad plugin under VSH.
You should be able to see the "XPAD Loaded (VSH)" message and your Xbox controller connected.
You may need to sync your controller to the receiver if you're using a wireless controller.
4. Start your game and wait until it has fully booted.
5. Press (START+BACKBTN+R3). You should see a message displaying "XPAD Loaded (GAME)".
6. Wait a few seconds and your Xbox controller should be reconnected.
If you're using a wireless controller, read the notes below on how to properly resync the controller using a button combo.
7. You should now be able to play your game with rumble enabled.
Method 2: Using Modified webMAN-MOD Plugin
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 of method 1.
2. Download my modified webMAN-MOD plugin.
Be sure to select webman_server_rebug_cobra_ps3mapi.sprx if you're using Rebug CFW or webman_server_ps3mapi.sprx if you're using another CFW. I will use webman_server_rebug_cobra_ps3mapi.sprx as an example.
3. Copy webman_server_rebug_cobra_ps3mapi.sprx to /dev_hdd0/plugins/
4. Add this line to plugins.txt if you're using PRX Loader or to boot_plugins.txt if you're using Cobra:
/dev_hdd0/plugins/webman_server_rebug_cobra_ps3mapi.sprx
5. Either reboot your PS3 or run PRX Loader to run webMAN.
6. Start your game and wait until it has fully booted.
7. Log on to webMAN with your browser using your PS3's IP address as the URL and click on the PS3MAPI tab.
8. Scroll down to the Game Plugins section and select your game's process. Usually it will have the name EBOOT in it. Click set.
9. You will get a page with all your game's plugins loaded.
Go to the last free slot and enter /dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/xpad_game.sprx. Click on load.
10. Wait a few seconds and your Xbox controller should be connected.
Note: If you're using a wireless controller, you will need to re-sync using a button combo.
Do this by pressing (START+BACKBTN+DPAD DOWN) and then holding the XBOX button for a couple seconds.
Your wireless controller should then reconnect.
11. You should now be able to play your game with rumble enabled.
Note: If you have trouble getting your controller recognized in game, try reassigning your controller to different slots.
You can do this by holding down the XBOX button and going to Controller Settings.
Remember to use the button combo to load back the xpad plugin into VSH after quiting a game or you will have to reload the plugin manually.
Wireless Controller Notes:
You may connect up to 4 wireless controllers with a single receiver.
If you're using a wireless controller, you will need to re-sync using a button combo each time you swith from VSH to GAME or from GAME to VSH.
Do this by pressing (START+BACKBTN+DPAD_DOWN) and then holding the XBOX button for a couple seconds. Your wireless controller should then reconnect.
Controller button combo summary:
(START+BACKBTN+R3) Switches xpad plugin between VSH proc and GAME proc.
(START+BACKBTN+DPAD_DOWN) Disconnects wireless controller from receiver. Allows wireless controllers to be resynced.
(START+BACKBTN+L3) Unloads xpad plugin.
