Hey guys, I'm looking to start playing MK9 on pc and want to use my ps3/ps2 controllers. I've done some limited research on how to achieve this but nothing seems to have worked. Does anyone know of a way that works that can help me out?

I'm kind of in the same boat. I've found an option that works, but the dpad doesn't register diagonal inputs. Not being able to jip and jump backwards is ridiculous. Same problems with ps4 controller :-( only in MK though.

If you have a converter that works for Xbox it should work for PC too. Just need drivers

I do not have a converter sadly. Are there any other options you could recommend?

I've tried BetterDS3 and I've had no luck. It's supposed to trick your pc into thinking your ps3 controller is an xbox controller I guess but despite my pc recognizing I plugged in a ps3 controller the program does not.

Well, for a PS2 controller, you need a ps2-usb or a ps2-ps3 converter (both are the same) obviously. I think these converters will most probably be plug-and-play compatible so you don't need to look for drivers. If you have a ps2-x360 converter that would be the ideal solution, since x360 controllers have native support on Windows.
To enhance the experience with a PS2 controller (fix dumb stuff like diagonal inputs not working), use a tiny program called x360ce, which is an xbox360 controller emulator. Google it and see how to use it. It's great.

For a PS3 controller, the best thing to use is Motioninjoy. I think that's the best Dualshock 3 driver out there. Install the driver and you're good to go. I think you can also use x360ce with this to make the game think you are using an x360 pad and you don't have to remap/configure any buttons in-game.
Again, if you have a ps3-x360 converter, it would be the ideal solution. Just plug it in and you're good to go.

Motionjoy is hands down the best program to use when using a PS3 controller on PC. It's what I use and it's absolutely amazing.

thanks guys. Motioninjoy is working great with other games, downloading mk9 now!

I saw a bunch of tutorials saying "use ps3 controller without Morioninjoy!" and assumed it was hard/shitty. But it was relatively simple.

Thanks again guys
