Mayflash Ps3 Game Controller Driver

admin

MayFlash Retro Gamepad / Joystick to USB Adaptor. I often find something is missed from the experience by not using the original games controller. Stella is awesome Atari 2600 emulator but playing Berzerk on a PC keyboard instead of a classic Atari joystick doesn’t feel quite right. 5 responses to “MayFlash Retro Gamepad.

Hey guys! I'm aware that this question has very likely popped up in this forum multiple times... However, I still can't seem to find a definitive solution to this. I have 3 generic PS3 controllers. The first generic is one that I bought a few years ago. It looks nearly identical to the official controller, except that it was manufactured by a company called Shanwan. The other 2 remaining controllers were recently purchased from Amazon and are made by a company called IHK. Almost every resource/forum post/subreddit that I've read regarding my issue points me to one of these resources:

  • MayFlash Universal Playstation 2 Controller Adapter. Sewell Part # SW-6109. $16.95 Free Shipping 5.0 (1 review). Does the USB port intended for PC game play also work with PS3? Was this question helpful? Ask us a new question about: MayFlash Universal Playstation 2 Controller Adapter.
  • Has anyone used the Mayflash Pro Controller to PC/PS3 adapter? Or used other Mayflash products? I bought one the other day, but I'm having a few problems with it. It works perfectly on my PC; install the drives then plug and play. I got the adapter so I could get more used out of the Pro Controller. And overall I like it more than the DS3.

The RetroPie Wiki

However, everything that I've tried based on these resources doesn't work for me. Things just don't go in the same way for me as it did for the writer. The biggest problem that I have is getting the controllers to connect via Bluetooth. I've followed these steps from the RetroPie Wiki so many times to the point that I can do them almost blindfolded (okay, maybe with a little bit of guidance lol):

  1. Navigate to the 'RetroPie' icon in the Home Screen and select it using whatever key you mapped 'A' to on your gamepad, and go to RetroPie Setup
  2. Once in the RetroPie GUI, choose [Manage packages] > [driver].
  3. Select PS3 Controller Driver ('ps3controller'), and then select [Install from source].
  4. Once installation completes, exit RetroPie setup and return to the EmulationStation Home Screen.
  5. Press 'Start' to enter the EmulationStation Menu, and select Configure Input.
  6. Disconnect your PS3 controller from USB. Now hold the PS button on the controller down until you see the lights on it flash sequentially. The controller should now be connected via Bluetooth.
  7. Emulation Station should now detect another gamepad connected. Hold any button down on the controller to begin configuring it.

I've tried every driver available to get these generics to work wirelessly: the official PS3 driver, both of the Gasia drivers, and of course the Shanwan driver. None of them work. For each of the drivers, I try the following:

  1. I choose the 'Pair controller' menu option.
  2. I connect the controller over USB, it always vibrates since it's a generic.
  3. I wait a few seconds and disconnect the USB. After that, I hit the PS button, the LEDs flash but I don't get any of them to stay lit.
  4. Furthermore, if I try to configure input, the controller isn't detected. It can be detected if I connect it to USB, but it just vibrates the entire time and that doesn't do me any good.

Also, I believe all 3 need the Shanwan driver since that's what appears in 'Configure Input' when I connect the controllers over USB. But it could be that the software is mistakenly detecting the controller. In either case, the Shanwan driver from the setup menu doesn't work for these controllers.

Is there anything that I'm missing to get these controllers to work? I've also seen from another source that the Mayflash adapter seems to work with the RetroPie, even with generic PS3 controllers. Can anyone confirm this? And how well does it work? I'm using either the latest version of RetroPie or something close to it. I just setup my RP a few weeks ago and downloaded the software directly from the RP website. As always, any sort of assistance in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

My review of the Mayflash Magic NS Adapter

'Wirelessly connect your PS4, PS3, Nintendo Switch Pro, Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, Wii U Pro, and Xbox One S Bluetooth controllers to your Nintendo Switch, PS3 or PC system

The wired PS4, PS3, Nintendo Switch Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox 360 controllers and fight sticks, and standard wired USB controllers like Logitech rumble gamepad F510 and F310 can be connected to your Nintendo Switch, PS3 and PC system.'

I just got my Mayflash NS adapter from Amazon on Saturday. I had some time to experiment with it on my Nintendo Switch a little bit. I'm here to give my analysis and answer any question I can in the comment section.

When you order the adapter, it comes with a few things. It comes with the adapter itself, a USB cable to connect controllers to the Switch in handheld mode, a button sheet, and a manual with instructions on how to connect the controllers wired or wirelessly.

Setting up the adapter was easy. It has a few modes, some for use on the pc, some for the Switch. The Switch has two modes: regular and Pro. Pro mode is the same as regular, except for the fact that it supports rumble (not hd sadly) and the PS4 controller's gyro capability.

The controllers I were able to were as follows:

Wireless Wii U Pro Controller

Wired PS3 Controller

Wireless PS4 Controller

Setup was easy as pie. All you have to do is plug the adapter in the USB port in your dock or the provided USB cable, for handheld, select your mode using the button on the top of the adapter, and press the sync button on your controller and press the button on the adapter. And just like that your controller is connected. However, you will have to go into your Switch settings and enable the 'Wired Pro Controller' setting for your controllers to work. Reviews for my separate controllers are below.

Wii U Pro Controller - This was the first controller I tried out and the main reason I bought the adapter. You can use this controller wired, but you can use it wirelessly. Setup was easy and I was quickly navigating the menus using my Wii U Pro. All the buttons worked well. Screenshot was Plus + Minus and Start/Select both acted as pause. It was really easy to get used to since the Pro Controller uses the same button layout as all other Nintendo controllers (unlike PlayStation and Xbox). I tested out Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Puyo Tetris. Mario Kart and Splatoon worked well (even though I suck without motion controls 😅). Puyo Tetris was fine, but I still prefer the Joycon to play that game as I feel the separated Dpad suits the game better. Practically flawless experience with this controller.

PS3 Controller - The PS3 controller I had was 3rd party, but that didn't stop it like from connecting just as easily. The PS3 controller was as straightforward as the Wii U Pro, just that I had a better time playing Tetris with this one since the Dpad is separated on this one. Something that confused me with this controller (and the PS4 controller) is that the button layout is different. As you may know, Sony and Nintendo have different ways of making their button schemes. While B (back) may be in the button of a Nintendo controller, it's on the right for Sony (circle). However the adapter allows you to rebind your buttons to my fit a different controller.

PS4 Controller - This one was the one I was most excited o try out, due to the fact that it supported gyro controls. Meaning you could play Splatoon with motion controls using the PS4's gyro capabilities. Naturally, this was the first thing I tried out. For the most part it works well. You can aim with the right stick and fine tune with the motion controls. However, there is a problem, and that is the rumble. The rumble for the PS4 controller is INSANELY POWERFUL, for quite the wrong reasons. Swimming in ink makes your controller go mental with all the vibrations. This could hinder someone's experience with motion controls as it can very easily mess up your shots, as well as be uncomfortable to your hands. Some games allow you to disable HD Rumble in the settings, but not Splatoon as far as I can tell. But other than that it works well. I also tried my hand at playing Mario Odyssey, and the motion controls work with Cappy well enough. You can pull off some of the special moves using the motions controls, like shaking your controller left or right to throw your hat I a circle, or shaking your controller while crouching to roll quicker. And luckily, Odyssey allows you to disable HD Rumble, which is really handy.

Not everything about the adapter is perfect though. There are some problems.

  1. The adapter feels like it was put together kinda cheap, so be careful with it.

  2. When the adapter is plugged inside the dock, it can be very difficult to unplug it or press the button on the top.

  3. You can only use one controller at a time.

In conclusion, this adapter was a very good purchase. Allowing me to use the controllers I already owned, it offers many new ways to play instead of the usual joycon. Very great purchase for someone that needs more controller for multi-player games like Mario Kart. Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the comments! I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.
