Wired controller as Player 1?

Playstation 3, playstation 3 (playstation 3).

  • Is there any way to force your PS3 to recognize a wired controller as Player 1 without manually changing it in the XMB menu every time you power on your PS3? CEOIII - 10 years ago - report

  • Turn it on first. If you have multiple controllers, the order you turn them on is the order the controllers will be. I.E. the first one powered on will be first player. You can also hold down the HOME button and you can change players from there. kratosdakota3 - 10 years ago - report 1   0

What to Know

  • Connect USB to controller > connect other end to PS3 > press PS button > wait for lights to stop flashing.
  • When a PS3 controller won’t sync, turn controller over > locate reset button > insert paperclip into hole.
  • You can also connect PS3 controller to Windows and macOS systems.

This article explains how to sync a PS3 controller. Instructions apply to official PS3 controllers from Sony. Support for third-party controllers is mixed, especially controllers that require a separate dongle.

How to Sync a Controller to a Playstation 3 Console

To sync a PS3 controller with a PlayStation 3 console you will need a mini USB cable. Sony recommends using the cable provided with the system. If you have trouble syncing with a third-party cable, try using a different cable. Most third-party cables work well, but there are some that do not.

Here's how to sync a PS3 controller to a PlayStation 3 console:

Turn on your PlayStation 3.

Connect a mini USB cable to your controller.

Connect the other end of the cable to your PS3.

Push the PlayStation button in the middle of the controller to turn it on.

Wait for the lights on the controller to stop flashing.

Once the lights have stopped flashing, unplug the mini USB cable from the controller. Your PS3 controller is now ready to use.

If the controller isn't charged, leave it plugged in to finish charging.

What to Do When a PS3 Controller Won't Sync

In some cases, you may try to sync your PS3 controller and find that it does not work. This can usually be fixed by resetting the controller and then attempting to sync it again. If it still does not sync after a reset, you may have a battery or hardware problem.

Here's how to reset a PS3 controller:

Turn the controller over, so the buttons and analog sticks are facing down.

Locate the reset button access hole.

Insert a paperclip, pin, or thin nail into the reset button access hole to push the reset button. Hold it down for at least two seconds.

When the reset button is depressed, you should feel a click. If you do not feel a click, you may have missed the button.

Remove the paperclip and attempt to sync the controller again.

If your controller still won't sync or turn on, it may be defective or the battery may be dead.

While PS3 controllers were designed for use with PlayStation 3 consoles, you can also use them with Windows PCs . To connect a PS3 controller to a Windows computer, you need to install several software packages and drivers from Microsoft and use a free program called SCP ToolKit.

While SCP ToolKit is no longer in development, it works with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

The following frameworks, packages, and runtimes are required:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime
  • Microsoft DirectX Runtime
  • SCP ToolKit

If you have Windows 7, you also need to download and install the Xbox 360 controller driver.

You will also need a mini USB controller to connect the controller to your computer.

Using the SCP ToolKit to connect a PS3 controller to a Windows computer takes over the Bluetooth connection. You will be unable to connect any other Bluetooth devices. If you use other Bluetooth devices, you should consider buying a separate Bluetooth dongle for your PS3 controller to use.

If your PlayStation 3 is located anywhere near your computer, unplug it so your controller doesn't accidentally connect to it.

Reset your PS3 controller by inserting a paperclip into the reset button hole located on the back of the controller.

Press the PlayStation button on your controller to turn it on.

Using a mini USB cable, connect the controller to your computer.

Download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime, Microsoft DirectX Runtime, and the Xbox 360 controller driver if you have Windows 7.

Download and install the SCP Toolkit.

Launch the SCP Toolkit Driver installer program.

Select Next .

Wait for your controller to show up, select Initialize all connected devices , then select Next .

Select initialize all connected devices , then select Next .

Select Install virtual Xbox 360 controller driver , then select Next .

Select Install Windows Service , then select Next .

Select Finish . Once the installation procedure is complete, your PS3 controller will be ready to use with your Windows computer.

PS3 controllers are old, and the SCP Toolkit program is no longer in active development. If it does not work with your particular configuration, there may be a compatibility issue that is unlikely to be fixed due to the age of the hardware.

You can also use a PS3 controller with your Mac. You must be running macOS Snow Leopard or later and have Bluetooth enabled. You do not need any additional software or drivers, but you do need a mini USB cable to connect your PS3 controller to your Mac.

Here's how to connect a PS3 controller to a Mac:

If your PlayStation 3 is located anywhere near your Mac, unplug it to prevent your controller from accidentally connecting to it.

Make sure that your Mac has Bluetooth turned on. If you are not sure how to do this, consult our guide to using and fixing Bluetooth on a Mac .

Connect your PS3 controller to your Mac with a mini USB cable.

If your controller isn't charged, leave it plugged in for a while to charge before you proceed.

Press the PlayStation button on the controller to turn it on.

Unplug the controller.

Look for your PS3 controller in the list of Bluetooth devices on your Mac.

When prompted, enter the code 0000 and select Pair or Accept . Your PS3 controller is now connected and ready to use.

Thinking about buying the Playstation 5 one day? So are we! Learn more about it and start saving those pennies.

To connect a PS3 controller to your Android , connect an OTG cable to your Android, then connect the controller's USB charging cable to the other end of the OTG cable. If you rooted your Android device, install the Sixaxis controller app to use your PS3 controller wirelessly via Bluetooth.

If your PS3 controller won't connect , it could be due to a syncing error, problems with the controller's battery, or issues with the controller's internal hardware.

To connect a PS3 controller to a PS4 , you need a special controller converter for using a PS3 controller with the PS4 such as the Cronusmax Plus.

Controllers order, how swap ?

  • Oldest to Newest
  • Newest to Oldest
  • Reply as topic

I have searched during days google / youtube / forums and I did not see a functionality that would be necessary and useful an option to swap between controls, or even change their order

for example, you may have established that a wired control would be the first, and a wireless ps3 the second and a keyboard the third! days later you decide you want the wireless ps3 as joy1 but now it's late! or just a reset!

so an option could be made to change their order WILL BE GREAT

edmaul69

@wfraga in emulationstation, go into the retropie menu. Do you see joystick selection in there? If not go into "run command" option and enable it. Exit and restart your pi. Now when you go into the retropie menu you will see joystick selection. Now you can arrange the controllers any way you want for any retroarch emulator.

hi @edmaul69 thank you by the prompt help i tried this many times before and today after you tell too

but still showing only:

audio, bluetooth, config editor, es themes, file manager,raspi-config, retroarch, retroarch netplay, retropie setup, RUN COMMAND CONFIG, show ip, splash screens, wifi

but not about joystick selection

jonnykesh

@wfraga did you go into runcommand config and enable joystick selection, exit then restart the pi? if so the problem is that there is more than 1 gamelist.xml for retropie menu and it didnt add it to the one that is seen first. Look in:

And look for joystick_selection. If it is not there look in:

you should see the joystick_selection listed there. It might not be listed in the first location. If it isnt in the first location then you need to add that whole section in there.

@edmaul69 Hi, I have seen you mention this a few times. As far as I know the joystick selection script needs to be manually installed. It is not installed by default. I even asked @meleu about this and he confirmed his script had not been incorporated into the setup script. Perhaps I have misunderstood.

@jonnykesh you will see i told how to manually install. he said he did so this was my next step.

@wfraga Use this. https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

@edmaul69 Ah, sorry.

Hello friends! Thanks for tagging me.

Let me say some notes about my tool:

To install it, use the instructions here: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/#installation . If this method doesn't work, please let me know! I want to make it as simple as possible, avoiding to edit files manually...

Please, when linking my tool use this URL: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

  • rpie-art tool
  • achievements I made

Hi, sorry for the reply on a dead post here, but I am absolutely baffled with these github instructions. What do I download? Where do I install it on the pi? How do I make a .sh file executable? Right now, my Pi is convinced that my wireless PS3 controller is player 1 ONLY when it's plugged in. I would dearly like to correct this, and this module/update seems to be the ticket. Any further information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Clyde

@koober728 As far as I remember doing it myself, you just enter the three commands listed unter "Installation" in the command console you get to by pressing F4 in Emulation Station. The first will download the installation script, the second will make it executable, the third the second will execute it. All done.

The only command not listed is one to delete the install.sh after successful installation. You can use this one: rm install.sh

You get back to ES from the command line by entering exit edit: or emulationstation .

edit: Included the changes @meleu did to the Instructions on https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/#installation .

@clyde I've updated the installation instructions trying to detail and simplify them a little bit. I hope it is more clear for newcommers ;)

Thanks for your suggestions.

BuZz

Note that RetroPie does have basic joystick order selection built in. Via the configuration editor. Not as extensive as Meleus script but works.

To help us help you - please make sure you read the sticky topics before posting - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@meleu My pleasure. :) Thanks for keeping the instructions as newbie-friendly as possible.

I wonder if there's any technical difference between starting emulationstation or just exit 'ing the shell. I don't have my Pi in working order right now to test it, because I had to disassemble my upright cabinet for the finishing touches.

@meleu can this be done at a rom level or is it only possible at an emulator level? Reason I ask is because I built a 4 player arcade cabinet that mainly houses 3-4 player games but I also threw in some of the classics like Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, etc. My joystick order from left to right on the arcade is player 1, 2, 3, and 4. I would like to be able to set player 2 as player 1 when I am playing the classic games and set player 2 as player 1 and player 3 as player 2 on the two player games I have like Mortal Combat so you are using the middle controllers rather than the outside controller.

mitu

@doughrat19 Have you tried using the RetroArch gui (started with Select + X mid-game) and then re-arranging your controls from the controls section ? Use the 'Save game remap' function and if it works it could save the mapping for the game.

@mitu , right now my roms are a mess. I’m a newbie and learning as I go. I have multiple versions of roms that I am running on multiple emulators, not all libretro. I am going to do a cleanup and make sure all my roms are MAME 0.78 and use lr-mame2003 to run them. I will give your method a shot. One question though, controller 1 (port 0) has the ability to exit out of the games. If I map everything to controller 2 to make it player 1, will it have that ability or will it still be tied to port 0?

I actually came across this thread because I am building a system for my buddy who is currently stationed in Afghanistan, I’m going to ship it over to him. I got a SNES raspberry pi case with functional ports in the front of the case. It’s moves ports 2 and 3 to the front of the case (ports 0 and 1 are on the side). This thread was extremely helpful in allowing me to change port 2 to player 1, port 3 to player 2, port 0 to player 3 and port 1 to player 4.

This is now built into the Retro Pie Configuration Editor.

Configuration Editor -> 1) Configure basic libretro emulator options -> Pick your system or pick default for all -> 7) Choose joypad order.

From there just pick your order and you are good to go!

@Mr_Fix_It Thanks sooo much for this man I've been pulling my hair out for days with these bloody controllers. :)

This wikiHow teaches you how to connect a PS3 controller to a Windows PC with the help of the SCP toolkit program.

Step 1 Turn on your controller and connect it to your PC.

  • To turn your controller on, press the stylized "PS" button in the middle of your controller.
  • USB port locations vary depending on the type of computer you're using. If you can't locate the USB ports, check the sides or the back of your computer's CPU (desktop) or the back of the casing (laptop).
  • If you're connecting your controller via wireless dongle, you may need to first install the dongle's drivers. Make sure you follow the on-screen prompts to do so after plugging in the dongle.
  • If your PS3 controller is paired with your PS3, first unplug the PS3 from its power source.

Step 2 Navigate to the...

  • Make sure you're downloading the most recent version of the software. If you're on an out-of-date version's page, you won't see the green "Latest Release" sticker on the left side of the page.

Step 4 Double-click the toolkit setup file.

  • Click the checkbox next to "I agree to the License terms and conditions".
  • Click Next .
  • Click Install .
  • click Yes if prompted.

Step 6 Double-click the ScpToolkit Driver Installer program.

  • Also uncheck the box next to "Bluetooth" if your controllers are wired (e.g., you aren't using a dongle).
  • A good rule of thumb here is to uncheck a box next to anything you aren't using.
  • If you're using Windows Vista, you'll need to check the box next to "Force Driver Installation" in the middle-left side of the window.

Step 8 Click the box under

  • If you're using a non-wired controller, you'll need to select the USB device you're using to facilitate the connection under the "Bluetooth" section above the "DualShock 3 Controllers" drop-down box.

Step 10 Click Install.

  • Once the installation is complete, you'll hear a confirmation noise.
  • At this point, your controller's drivers have been installed and you are ready to begin using your controller with PC games.

  • This process will also work for a PS4 controller, though you'll need to first unpair the controller from within your PS4's Settings. You'll also need to install DualShock 4 drivers and select a DualShock 4 controller instead of a DualShock 3. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
  • If you run into any errors, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the SCP toolkit. When you reinstall, make sure you install any prerequisites (regardless of whether or not you think you need them) and check the "Force Driver Installation" box when installing the drivers regardless of your operating system. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1
  • When you open the "Devices" manager on your PC (accessed by typing "joy.cpl" into the "Run" application), your PS3 controller will show up as an Xbox 360 controller. This is because the Xbox 360 controller is natively supported by Windows, while the PS3 controller is not. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

How to use a PS3 controller on PC

A guide for using the DualShock 3 wired and Bluetooth, from Windows 7 to Windows 11.

  • Windows 10/11 setup
  • Windows 7/8 setup

The PlayStation 3's controller, the Dualshock 3, was never meant to be used on the PC, which means it isn't exactly the easiest pad to plug in and start playing with. But are we gonna let that stop us? Obviously not.

The PS3 controller is still special, and there's a very specific reason to use it on PC, especially if you emulate PS2 or PS3 games. The Dualshock 3 has something the best PC controllers don't have: Pressure-sensitive analog face buttons. That makes the Dualshock 3 the best choice for playing games in the PCSX2 or RPCS3 emulators. Metal Gear Solid 3, for example, just doesn't play right without those analog buttons, a feature they had to modify for the PC port.

Longtime PlayStation gamers may also just prefer the feel of Sony's older controllers over the Dualshock 4 or Dualsense, which changed up the analog sticks and shape. Here's the best way to get your PS3 controller working on PC. On Windows 10 or 11, there's thankfully a very convenient tool that makes the DualShock 3 much easier to configure than it used to be.

Note: Steam actually has native support for the DualShock 3, meaning you can simply plug the controller in and set it up through the Big Picture mode Controller settings menu. However, Steam does not support the DualShock 3's gyro controls or (more importantly!) its analog face buttons, which are what we're really after. Follow this guide to get the PS3 controller working on PC with those buttons working, too.

Windows 10/11 DualShock 3 setup

What you need.

  • Dualshock 3 and mini-USB cable
  • Optional: Bluetooth dongle
  • BthPS3 (optional, for Bluetooth)

As noted in the intro, keep in mind that Steam has built-in support for the DualShock 3 controller. If you plug the controller in with Steam running, you can then go to Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration to customize your controls as you see fit. And if you want to play non-Steam games with the controller, you can add them to Steam with the "Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library" menu.

But presumably you're here because you want to get those analog face buttons working. For years the go-to solution was ScpToolkit, a free, open source tool that did the job but was a bit of a beast to setup. The developer of ScpToolkit sunset the project in 2016, but has since followed it up with the new DsHidMini , a DualShock 3 controller driver specifically built for Windows 10 and 11.

Here's how to get setup with it.

Note: If you've previously installed ScpToolkit on your system or ever used Sony's PSNow streaming service, you may have some leftover files that will interfere with DsHidMini. Check this troubleshooting guide for help on removing those files before you begin the installation process.

DsHidMini setup guide

To get started, do not plug your DualShock 3 in yet . We need it unplugged for the moment.

If you want Bluetooth support for your DualShock 3, first download and install BthPS3Setup_x64.msi from the project's Github here .

Now download DsHidMini .zip from the project's Github here.

DsHidMini's walkthrough recommends having Windows User Account Control enabled for the installation process. This is the warning that pops up when you're installing new software. Normally I have this turned off on my PC, but it's easy to enable for this install process. Press the Windows key and type "UAC" to bring up the User Account Control Settings menu. Move the slider all the way up to "Always notify" and click OK.

Follow the rest of the installation instructions from DsHidMini's developer here .

There are only a few steps, so I'll bullet point them here to make sure you don't miss any: 

  • Extract the .zip file and open the x64 folder
  • Right-click the dshidmi.inf file and hit "Install" from the context menu
  • Right-click on igfilter.inf and hit "Install" from the context menu
  • Connect the controller via USB
  • Right-click and run DSHMC.exe as Administrator

If you run into any issues, follow the troubleshooting guide here .

How to use the DualShock 3's pressure-sensitive buttons in PCSX2 or RPCS3

Now for the most important step: getting those sweet analog buttons working. 

In the DsHidMini Control software, make sure your controller is set to SDF mode (Single Device with Force Feedback). "The advantage of this mode is a 100% compatibility with all unmodified versions of PCSX2 with the LilyPad gamepad plugin (shipped by default)," writes developer Nefarius.

If you're planning to use your DualShock 3 with Steam or the RPCS3 emulator, use SXS mode .

In the emulators, select the DualShock 3 gamepad as your input and bind the buttons if necessary. In games that support pressure sensitivity, they should now work as they would on a real console.

How to use the DualShock 3 via Bluetooth

Good news: This part should be a cinch. Once you've followed the installation instructions for DsHidMini above, your PS3 controller should be working fine via a wired USB connection. And pairing it via USB should automatically pair it via Bluetooth, too! 

If you unplug the DualShock 3 and it doesn't work, check out the Bluetooth troubleshooting section of the walkthrough, and make sure your version of Bluetooth is supported .

Windows 7/8 DualShock 3 setup

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5  
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package  
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 runtime  
  • Microsoft DirectX runtime  
  • Xbox 360 controller driver (only needs to be installed on Windows 7) 
  • ScpToolkit  

ScPToolkit installation guide

1. Download the software linked above, and start by installing the four Microsoft packages. If you're on a Windows 7 PC, you'll also need to install the Xbox 360 controller driver. On Windows 8, it's already built in!

2. Important step: plug your Dualshock 3 into your PC with a mini-USB cable. Now we can start making it work.

Bluetooth installation note: if you also want to be able to use the controller wirelessly, make sure you have a Bluetooth dongle plugged in or your motherboard's Bluetooth enabled. ScpToolkit notes you need a Bluetooth 2.0 or higher dongle that supports Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).

3. Download ScpToolkit and run the installer. After accepting the terms and choosing your install location, you'll get a menu of all the options to install, as in the screenshot above. I recommend leaving this to the default. Click Install to begin the installation.

Bluetooth installation note: Make sure the ScpToolkit Bluetooth Pair Utility option is ticked.

4. After about 30 seconds, ScpToolkit will be installed, and you'll see this screen, with a big green button that says Run Driver Installer. Since this is a fresh install, that's what we want to do. Click the button. 

5. This screen may look intimidating, but it's still pretty simple! Check the boxes for the drivers you want to install. In this case, we want to make sure Install Dualshock 3 driver is checked (it should be by default). Now click the arrow next to "Choose Dualshock 3 controllers to install" to see a dropdown list of USB devices attached to your computer. Find the PlayStation 3 controller in the list and check it.

Bluetooth installation note: Make sure the "Install Bluetooth driver" box is checked. Like you did with the Dualshock 3, click the arrow next to "Choose Bluetooth dongles to install" and find your Bluetooth device in the list. Check it.

Note: If you're on Windows Vista, check the box for "Force Driver Installation." Otherwise, leave it unchecked . Click Install. 

6. Watch the SCP Toolkit run through its installation process. You'll see lots of pop-ups on the side of your screen as it detects your hardware. Scroll to the bottom of the log and you should hopefully see "Dualshock 3 USB Driver installed" (and "Bluetooth Driver installed" if you chose to), signifying a successful installation. If all went well, click Exit. 

7. Now that it's installed, you'll see ScpToolkit as an icon in your system tray. Look in your Start Menu for ScpToolkit Settings Manager. 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."

PCSX2 emulator note: The PCSX2 settings tab allows you to patch the emulator's LilyPad controller plugin to support the pressure sensitive buttons. 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. Voila!

Using your Playstation 3 controller on PC

Now that it's installed, the Dualshock 3 should behave like an Xbox 360 controller. Any game with native XInput support—pretty much any modern PC game that supports gamepads—should recognize it without a hitch. Unfortunately, this means that it won't register as a PlayStation controller to the few games that have native DualShock 4 support, so you won't get the correct Square/Cross/Triangle/Circle button icons by default.

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. 

How to connect your PS3 controller via Bluetooth in Windows 7/8

How to use a: - PS5 controller on PC - PS4 controller on PC - Nintendo Switch Pro controller on PC - Xbox controller on PC

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. Cool!

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. You may also find help in ScpToolkit's Github discussions . Bluetooth can be finicky, and any problem you run into could be due to hardware, or your particular version of Windows, or drivers… in other words, good luck.

Nitro Deck+ Makes One of the Best Switch Accessories Even Better | IGN Fan Fest 2024

All decked out..

Taylor Lyles Avatar

Fans of the Nintendo Switch likely know about Nitro Deck, the innovative handheld accessory from CRKD that enhances the Switch experience without requiring DIY modifications. Now, one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories has improved with Nitro Deck+, which leverages the versatility of the Nintendo Switch is known for.

As part of IGN Fan Fest , the Nitro Deck+ looks similar to its predecessor at first glance. Still, the most significant addition to this product is the included HDMI output, allowing owners of this accessory to connect the device with the Switch connected to a display using a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

The addition of this product leverages the Nintendo Switch's signature feature of versatility. It allows users to switch between handheld and Docked mode without taking the Switch out of the Nitro Deck+, whether they're at home or traveling and forgot to pack their docking station.

And like its predecessor, the Nitro Deck+ includes swappable Hall Effect thumbsticks, programmable buttons, pass-through charging, and a low-latency connection via USB-C, and you can use the accessory as a controller on a PC.

In our review of the original Nitro Dec k, we said: "The CRKD Nitro Deck is the full-body makeover the Nintendo Switch has desperately needed. It eliminates stick drift with upgraded thumbsticks, adds four customizable back buttons, and improves the ergonomics in handheld mode to effectively make your Switch feel like a new console."

For more on Nitro Deck+, check out our interview with Nitro Deck co-creator Jack Guinchard .

How to play PS3 games like NCAA Football on Asus ROG Ally

  • The return of EA Sports' NCAA Football series is highly anticipated following new laws allowing EA to pay college football players.
  • Gamers can currently play NCAA Football 14 on their Asus ROG Ally or PC using the RPCS3 emulator.
  • Installing the NCAA Revamped mod provides an updated experience with new rosters, uniforms, stadiums, and teams.

There has never been a better time to be a nostalgic gamer.

Between the constant churn of remastered classics and oldies being added to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus , chances are most of your favorite old games are available top play in one form or another. There's one super popular series that hasn't been updated in over a decade now though, EA Sports' NCAA Football. EA abandoned the series following the release of NCAA Football 14 in 2013.

But new laws allowing EA to pay college football players have paved the way for the return of the series in July 2024. There's also no guarantee the new version of the game, EA Sports College Football 24, will live up to the classic NCAA Football series. The original achieved cult status among gamers and college football fans by capturing the feel of the sport while serving as a trial ground for features coming to Madden.

What if I told you that you didn't have to wait for the new game to play some NCAA Football?

9 Asus ROG Ally tips and tricks: Level-up your handheld console

I got NCAA Football 14 running on my Asus ROG Ally. I'm using an NCAA revamped mod that updates rosters and uniforms. All you need to do the same is the Asus ROG Ally and the PS3 emulator RPCS3. The emulator is made specifically to play PlayStation 3 games on computers. You can add any of your old PS3 games to the emulator, and they'll get a graphics and performance boost as long as your device can run it.

PS3s are getting close to 20 years old now, so using the RPCS3 emulator is a great way to preserve your gaming library. Here's all the steps you'll need to follow in order to set up NCAA Football 14 on your ROG Ally (or even on your PC or gaming laptop, if you prefer).

ASUS ROG Ally

The Asus ROG Ally is a PC gaming handheld that runs on Windows 11 and a custom AMD chipset. It has a Full HD display and can play PC games from multiple platforms.

How to get NCAA Football 14 on ROG Ally (or PC)

Install rpcs3.

To play any PS3 game, you'll need to download the RPCS3 emulator. It's software that works like a PS3 but uses your ROG Ally's juiced-up modern processor and chips. The same goes if you're installing RCPS3 on your gaming laptop or PC.

  • Head to RPCS3.net and download the emulator.
  • Right click and extract the download file .
  • In the extracted file, select rpcs3 application (purple icon) to open the emulator .

Install PS3 firmware

In order to emulate PlayStation 3 games on RPCS3, you'll need to install the latest firmware for the PS3. Most PS3 games have piracy protections encoded into the games, so even though you're not using a real PS3, you'll still need the firmware to play. Luckily, this is easy.

  • Follow this link to the Playstation website .
  • Select update using computer.
  • Right click and save as to Download the update .
  • Drag the update file into the RPCS3 emulator.

Install NCAA 14 Football (or other PS3 games)

Using RCPS3 requires having a copy of the game you want to play in file form on your ROG Ally or PC. There are a few ways to get it: If you have a physical copy of the game, RCPS3 has a guide on how to extract the game data from the disc . You might also be able to find the game online to download - just be aware that some copies on the internet might not be totally legal to download, so proceed at your own risk.

Once you have the game file, just drag it into the RCPS3 window on your device, and the game will pop up on your games list in the emulator.

Steam Deck vs Asus ROG Ally: What's the difference between the gaming handhelds?

Ncaa football 14 setup tips and tricks, controller input.

There are still a few things you'll need to do before you can start dominating your rivals, recruiting five-stars, and playing mascot vs mascot classics. The most important is setting up your controller input on the Asus ROG Ally or your PC.

  • Select Pads (controller icon) on the RCPS3 top menu.
  • In the top right beneath the section titled handlers, open the drop-down menu and select XInput.
  • Click Save . (Make sure you click save.)

After that, you should be ready to start gaming. You can follow those same steps to add up to seven more controllers. Be sure to mess with other settings like your display resolution or audio output, but I've found the default settings to be perfect on the Asus ROG Ally. The first time you open the game, it will take a little while to boot up, but it'll load much faster after that.

There is one weird glitch we've noticed: The first time you start a NCAA Football 14 game, the entire field will appear blacked out. Just quit the game, and it'll appear like normal after.

Try NCAA Revamped

You're going to want to install NCAA Revamped. It's a little complicated, but it adds a fresh layer of paint to a decade-old game that, when combined with the power of the ROG Ally, makes a pretty impressive package. NCAA Revamped is a mod that updates rosters, team uniforms, and stadiums. It even adds new teams that have joined the highest level of college football since the game originally came out.

Here's a quick breakdown on how to get NCAA Revamped installed and working:

  • Head to this link and download the NCAA Revamped mod .
  • Rename your NCAA Football 14 game file to BLUS31159-[NCAA Football 14] . Make sure it's exactly that.
  • Open the RCPS3 folder and find the dev_hdd0 folder .
  • Create a new folder in the dev_hdd0 folder and name it disc.
  • Move the newly named NCAA Football 14 file into the new disc folder . (The image above shows what it should look like when you're done.)
  • Drag the NCAA Revamped download into the RCPS3 emulator . If it works correctly, you should see the title card for NCAA Football change in the game list.

Lenovo Legion Go vs Asus ROG Ally: Which handheld gaming PC is best?

Should you mod your asus rog ally to play old ps3 games.

I've been blown away by how much I've enjoyed diving back into NCAA Football 14 on my Asus ROG Ally. I'm a huge college football fan, and it's been kind of surreal to play one of my favorite games from my childhood on a handheld gaming device. That's without even getting into the improved HD graphics or insane loading speeds on the ROG Ally. I highly recommend all college football and sports gaming fans try this mod.

There's also a ton of value to be added to your ROG Ally if you have old PS3 games laying around. Huge games that are still getting remastered today from series -- like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Uncharted, and more -- are all not only playable on the emulator, but usually get a significant graphics and performance boost. The ROG Ally can be a hub for all your gaming.

I use mine to play PlayStation games with PS Remote Play, Xbox games with Games Pass, and PC games with Steam, and now, PS3 games.

Asus ROG Ally review: Superb handheld PC gaming marred by Windows

More faq on ps3 games for asus rog ally, q. does rpcs3 support online play.

Unfortunately, you can't play most PS3 games online using RPCS3. Some games will support limited online play, but it's rare. You can play with up to 7 other controllers locally, though.

Q. What other games can you play using RPCS3?

You can play any PS3 game on RPCS3. That includes amazing games like Fallout 3, Red Dead Redeption, the first three Uncharted games, and Demon's Souls. Some of these games have been re-released for modern systems, so RPCS3 might not be the best way to play them, but if you already own PS3 copies of games, uploading them to RPCS3 will let you play them anywhere with improved 60 frames per second HD graphics.

Q. Will RPCS3 work on other devices?

I've set up RPCS3 on my ROG Ally and on my MSI laptop. It also offers different versions for Mac and Linux users as well, so regardless of your operating system, you should still be able to play your classic games. You will need some decent hardware in order to play. I have an entry-level Windows 11 gaming laptop with 8GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7 Processor, and GeForce RTX graphics card, and RPCS3 runs perfectly on it.
