Need help changing Afterglow controller from Xbox buttons, to Playstation
So first you need to use software to make the Afterglow PS3 controller appear as a DS4 controller (e.g. DsHidMini and DS4Windows), and then make sure you're playing a game that supports the DS4 controller (e.g. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_DualShock_4).

[PSX2] An FYI for those that are fans of the Ace Combat series. It appears that a couple of the longstanding bugs were addressed the other week.
I think OOTB support is contingent to this.

Anyway to setup pressure sensitive buttons with a DS3 controller?
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.

Can I use DsHidMini to test if a controller is a fake or it only works with ScpToolkit?
So I checked the github page and it seems that it's dead and the dev recommends using DsHidMini instead, I don't know much about these softwares but according to this the DsHidMini checks the MAC Address of the controller to see if it's fake or not but it probably won't work since it doesn't have all the MAC addresses of all genuine devices.

ScpToolkit and Official PS3 Controller Driver for DualShock 3
I uninstalled those drivers and downloaded DsHidMini. It does what I want, I just have to switch from its settings between SXS (Steam, RPCS3) and XInput each time I want to play RPCS3 or PC games. Don't know if there was any other way.
- Is there a way i can use Dualshock 3 on my pc using cable?
