Ps3 usb firmware update

A new PS3 update has come from out of nowhere and is now available to download and install. So, what does PS3 update 4. Earlier this year, many feared that a huge library of PS3 and PS Vita games would disappear as Sony announced it would close the digital store.

Originally, they had planned to remove hundreds of games listed for both systems which would later be unavailable to download even if you had purchased them.

Now that it's installed, you'll see ScpToolkit as an icon in your system tray. Here you can change some settings like disabling rumble, adjusting analog stick deadzones, and more. Most of these settings you should be able to leave alone. ScpToolkit starts up with Windows by default, and also plays some sound effects that you might find obnoxious. To disable them, click the Sound settings tab and uncheck 'Enable notification sounds.

If you plan to use your PS3 controller with the emulator, click Browse to navigate to your PCSX2 installation folder, then click Enable to install the patch. Now that it's installed, the Dualshock 3 should behave like an Xbox controller. Any game with native XInput support—pretty much any modern PC game that supports gamepads—should recognize it without a hitch. Some games let you manually choose your button icons, though. Look for that in game settings! If you ran into issues installing ScpToolkit or using the controller, you can try posting in the official thread at the PCSX2 forums , but you may not get an answer.

If you're not about that wired business, and followed all the Bluetooth installation steps above, you should be able to simply unplug the controller, and after a couple seconds it will sync via Bluetooth. You'll get a notification in the system tray when it does. This works after a reboot, too. If you allow ScpToolkit to start with Windows, you should simply be able to plug in your PS3 controller again and it'll instantly be recognized.

Once the LED is on, unplug the controller, and it'll once again be synced via Bluetooth. If you have issues with Bluetooth, it could be that your dongle isn't supported.
