PS3 PS3Xpad Help with HEN, can't open VSH Menu!

Hi,

First of all, i have been lurking here since ages but decided to finally make an account.

I have a Slim PS3 with HEN and i'm trying to play Armored Core 4 with a Dualshock 4 controller. When i start the game everything goes fine until the gameplay begins and for some reason the Triggers (L1, L2, R1 and R2) don't respond; before you ask, no it's not a Hardware problem, i test this with 2 other DS4 controllers and with none of those work, then i decided to test a Broken DS3 controller i have and guess what? the Triggers work with that controller. So now im asuming it's a problem of compatibility with DS4 and that specific game (as far as i see this also happens with games like GTA V and RDR).

So checking online i see people recommending PS3Xpad, i found this specific Reddit Post (i can't add the link but the name is "PS3XPAD Dualshock V2 Wireless HEN Complete Guide" ) that has the plugin signed for HEN and i follow it's tutorial with 1 main difference, i don't want to play wireless, i want to play with my DS4 wired.


I send the plugin folder into the plugin folder of hdd0 and i write the sprx file route in boot_plugin.txt. Whenever i start the console and initiate HEN i get a Pop Up with "XPAD Loaded (VSH)", but for some reason i cannot open the VSH menu with Start + Select + Square. I Tried with 3 different DS4 controllers, all of them plugged to the PS3, i also tried with my DS3 but is so broken that it cannot do Button Combinations. I even try with the Playstation move vibrator thing and then damn VSH menu doesn't appear.

Supposedly, when a game starts there should appear a Pop up with "XPAD Loaded (GAME)" but that never appears and of course, the combination Start + Select + R3 doesn´t do anything at all.


So, any ideas on why i can't open the VSH menu for PS3Xpad? i had Webman installed and i can open the VSH menu with Select correctly. I decided to uninstall Webman because maybe that menu overwrote the VSH menu from before but it still doesn't appear.

Are there alternatives for PS3Xpad? maybe a pkg that can be activated from XMB like any other program? or another Plugin that does the same?

Thank you for your time.
 
OK so i kinda make it work.

I have another DS4 but this one is V1, i managed to get the HWID and VID and configure them on the xpad_devices file.

Now i can open the VSH menu for Xpad, the downside is that because it's an old controller it doesn't work properly and for some reason, while the plugin is loaded my V2 doesn't work at all. I'm gonna keep tinkering with it to see if i can make my V2 work.
