Trying to set up PCSX2

I'm trying to set up PCSX2 for a stream tonight (twitch.tv/adomaschu starts at 8) and I want to use a native controller (PS3 sixaxis). I have PCSX2 and QTSixA installed. QTS picks up the controllers I try but PCSX2 can't seem to figure out that they exist. No matter what I try, lilypad onepad or nullpad, it cannot pick up my PS3 controller. I'm even willing to use an xbox one controller here.

I'm in arch.

Does anyone know something I could do? Thanks.

what gamepad driver are you using?

3

I think I wanna use OnePAD because I actually get a configuration menu for it.

4

I meant what linux driver. steamos-xpad, xboxdrv, joyutils, evdev, what?

5

I was using qtsixa to attach the controller. Works for steam games so I thought it would work for this.

I didn't realize that xboxdrv was a thing on linux. I know it as an app in windows o.o

6

does jstest pick it up? have you even read the wiki?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad#PS3_controller

it should work out of the box without any configuration on most drivers/configurations

7

I mean if I can play borderlands with it I assume that it will work. I'm trying out xboxdrv.

Uhhh, missing a lib?

No ok I think I have it.

it looks like you already have another driver set up. also, you don't need qtsixa unless you're using bluetooth. plug the thing in via USB and see if something like jstest-gtk picks it up w/o xbdrv

No I think I'm good now, I think it was bitching about qtsixa. Using xboxdrv its working now. Thanks for informing me of that I would never have found it :I
