Le plugin PS3XPAD disponible en version v0.8

Le développeur OsirisX fait son retour avec une nouvelle version du plugin PS3XPAD qui passe désormais en version v0.8. Le plugin permet en autre de supporter les contrôleurs Xbox 360 sur les PS3 disposant d'un CFW. Il se compose d'un pilote SPRX permettant de détecter et de contrôler une manette Xbox 360.

La nouvelle version de PS3XPAD, la v0.8, apporte de nombreuses corrections sur le mappages des contrôleurs, un mode permettant de personnaliser les touches, le support des Dual Shock 3 et Dual Shock 4 sans fil (il est nécessaire de dispose d'un adaptateur BT), plus de jeux sont compatibles (notamment GTA V et RDR) et d'autres des modes ont été ajoutés dans le menu-ingame.

Il propose une version native et une version personnalisée, le mode personnalisé est nécessaire pour les contrôleurs de Xbox, mais n'est pas nécessaire pour les contrôleurs officiels PS. Le mode personnalisé prend toujours en charge les contrôleurs officiels PS, mais aura besoin d'un adaptateur USB Bluetooth distinct pour les connecter sans fil. Le mode natif permet de connecter les contrôleurs officiels en utilisant le module BT interne et de lui donner les caractéristiques du plugin XPAD (remappage). Si vous voulez en savoir plus, vous avez ses explications ci-dessous.

 

 

The main focus of this release are the additions of two different modes (custom and native), the VSH/In-Game menu, and wireless support for DualShock 4 controllers. I will first explain the difference between custom and native modes. Custom mode is simply my implementation of the usb controller pad driver. This mode is needed for Xbox controllers but is not needed for official PS controllers. Custom mode still supports official PS controllers but will need a separate usb Bluetooth adapter to connect them wirelessly. Native mode allows connecting official controllers using the internal BT module and give it the features of the XPAD plugin such as remapping. I only recommend using native mode if you want to connect your controller wirelessly and do not have a BT adapter.

 

The requirements for using native mode is you need CFW with DEX kernel and your game Eboots must be converted to debug. These are also the requirements for the In-Game menu. The In-Game menu only works for a handful of games anyway (games with low memory). I recommend configuring the XPAD plugin through the VSH menu before starting a game and using the button combinations during the game.

 

I will try making a more comprehensive guide to connecting a DualShock 4 controller later but here’s a rough sketch. This is for connecting the controller in custom mode with a BT adapter. Also note the bluetooth driver is based on the USB host shield for Arduino. It should work for most generic adapters although I have only tested with one adapter.

 

First we need to set the internal bluetooth address of the controller. You only need to do this the first time you connect the controller to the bluetooth adapter. There are two ways of doing this but I will show one way.

 

Connect your DualShock 4 through USB.

Start up your PS3 with the XPAD plugin loaded.

Press (START+SELECT+SQUARE) to open the VSH menu.

Go down and enter the bluetooth options menu.

Go down and select the “Set DS4 internal BT address” option.

You can now disconnect the DS4 controller and should connect wirelessly to the adapter.

Also please check the compatibility chart in the README to see what your system supports. In general, a system that uses DEX kernel will have full support for the plugin.
