Are you still at the stage of not working ?
I just got my Dualshock 3 USB clone, in the mail, and it works perfectly in Windows, works in the Mister main joystick configure menu, all axis are picked up, yet the analogue sticks will not work in the joystick tester, or any core. Yet, I can move around the Mister menu with the D-Pad, and the analogue sticks. Even in the PSX core, I can move around the menu with the sticks, yet in-game they don't work. D-pad works fine.

Can you elaborate on that?

I can't move in the menus with the analog stick.

Just like the real thing, analog sticks are generally NOT enabled by default and must be manually enabled with L3+R3+up (or L1+L2+R1+R2+Up if you've changed that configuration). This must be done in-game and NOT at the white boot screen.

This has already been discussed and is not the problem.

Except based on the observations made, it kind of has to be. There is no analog 'configuration' within the core. I personally own some of the PS3 knockoff Chinese clones referenced, and they absolutely work, zero question.

Actually, I hadn't until now.

The controller is offscreen at the end of the controller setup asking for the last two tilts - you did do that with the analog sticks as requested by setup, yes?

Also, is the firmware (on the Pro+) up to date?

If the answer to both of the above is yes, I truly don't know what to say - in 2 years, I've never seen or experienced what's in that video. It "just works".

Like what has already been said, COUNTLESS times, this is NOT the issue. I have personally tried EVERY single "Solution" and it's not working.

Holy shit, that's it! I though these were for motions sensing in case people used PS3 or PS4 controllers, I didn't think they were asking me to setup the analog stick a 2nd time and right at the end as well.

Thanks mate, now everything is working fine now!
