Controller issue?

[Chortle]

Ive downloaded ppsspp onto my windows 10 notebook and ive even got some games My only trouble is not being able to use a controller. Ive been trying to use a regular ps3 dualshock controller and remapping controls, but that has proven ineffective. The controller is connected and shows up in devices and printers, but all that happens is the 4 flashing lights. How exactly can i fix this?

The usual fix is to install a driver wrapper like ScpToolkit or DsHidMini. These make the controller appear as an Xbox 360 controller, which PPSSPP supports easily. Plug the controller in via USB, install the driver, and let it bind to the device. After that, the lights should stop flashing and you’ll get a solid player LED.

yeah the four blinking lights usually mean windows sees the ds3 but isn’t handling it as a proper gamepad
i’d try DsHidMini first and then check that it shows up as a controller in windows before mapping anything in PPSSPP. PPSSPP itself supports both XInput and DirectInput so once windows sees the controller properly it should be pretty straightforward!)
