Final Notes

PS3Xpad is not a permanent hardware mod – it's a software plugin. If you ever revert to official firmware (OFW), the plugin will not work.

For the best compatibility, use an official wired Xbox 360 controller. Wireless works fine, but the receiver must be plugged in at all times. What it does

Use at your own risk. Always back up your PS3 data before installing plugins.
