  • Anyway to setup pressure sensitive buttons with a DS3 controller?
    2 projects | /r/sanandreas | 26 Mar 2023
    I remember DS2 and DS3 controllers having pressure sensitive buttons, meaning that pressing X to accelerate would make the car go faster the harder you press on X and slower the lighter you press X. I have been trying to setup my DS3 for at least 2 hours now trying to get the pressure sensitivity to work using GInput. I tried to get ScpToolkit to work, but the program wont even open to let me install the drivers. I then found DsHidMini, which works flawlessy with GInput, I was able to install the drivers and get my DS3 working in-game without any problems... except there's no pressure sensitivity. I tried putting DsHidMini's XInput1_3.dll into the games directory thinking that would work, but it didn't change anything.

  • Is ScpToolkit really safe?
    1 project | /r/techhelp | 4 Jan 2023
    I searched online everywhere and I couldn't get a definite answer. I searched up "Is ScpToolkit safe?" and the first thing that popped up was that SCPToolkit contains malware from both a Steam page and an article. But at the same time, I found on Reddit, from u/forlecam, 3 years ago, that asked the same question. The answers (2/4) were basically saying that it is safe as long as you download it from the original GitHub page. Although, one of the comments that intrigued me said to check on Totalvirus (VirusTotal). So, I went to GitHub and noticed a warning talking about suspicious substitutes, so I thought that was the problem. I downloaded it, went to VirusTotal, and got two malware warnings. I quickly deleted it, searched around some more, and found people talking as if they have used it forever and saying that it is fine. I keep on getting mixed information and Shibari does not work. I have also just recently found more mixed information.
