Yes I can be exceptionally nerdy and lazy, but then that's why I feel at home in online communities full of exceptional people. Snes9x is an SNES emulator written in C++ with official ports for DOS, Linux, Microsoft Windows, AmigaOS 4, macOS, MorphOS, Xbox, PSP, PS3, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, iOS, and Android.
Snes9x ps3 controller how to#
I have a "standard" profile that's good for things like using the mouse, right and left click, TAB, Enter, CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT, scrollwheel, etc., so if I need to do something I can pause the emulator, switch gamepad profiles and go do whatever, then pull up the emulator, switch profiles back to SNES9x and keep playing without ever having to get up and get the mouse. In this video Ill show you how to play SNES games on your PC using a PS3 controller :)Here are the drivers. To be even more nerdy, there's also a way to assign buttons to switch to an entirely different setup while you hold that button, so I hold the select button, and I can switch to other gamepad profiles by just hitting the square or triangle or whatever button is mapped to the profile I want.
Having a mute button right on my controller is nice. go to input, and do set up keys, then use your controller to set it up. What's nice is with joy2key you can also map things to the mouse and have all the ALT, CTRL and SHIFT buttons, or even media buttons, so I use the other joystick for the mouse and then map the shoulder buttons to things like save and ESC and other convenient commands within the emulator. The mapping utility isn't needed for SNES9x, but I use it to make profiles for lots of different programs and games, so I just have an SNES9x profile. Yeah, I just use a Logitech wireless PS2 controller with a PS2 to USB adapter and then I use joy2key to map the gamepad buttons to keyboard commands.
