I just bought a dualshock 4 and I'm using ds4 tools to use it on PC, but I just found these drivers http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4Windows-yet-another-DualShock-4-driver and I was wondering if there are other solutions and what would happen to be the best one. Specially because the touchpad feels really loving bad right now and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be like that. Also, is there a better thread or forum to check for tips for this? The PS4 general thread has nothing (and search isn't working).

For the record, I bought an 8800GT way back then and it's still working today.

RightClickSaveAs posted:I've had the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1s for years and love the sound, but have had so many problems with the lovely speaker cables they came with. There's also a common problem with the DIN plug in the back that plugs into the sub, people have had theirs actually break off because it's so cheaply built. Mine hasn't done that, but I just have to be careful not to push the sub back against the wall too far or the speakers will start to cut out. If I weren't lazy and actually knew something about speaker wiring I could probably rewire it all, but as it is I've put up with it because I really do like the speakers. I just wish they hadn't skimped so much on these issues.

Zedd posted:Same here, it's in a different system now though. Well, yes. I've bought 2 new cards since then. A 250GTS which was alright, and a GTX560 which I am still running now. Holding out for the GTX800 series to get something new and shiny now. It's not a huge rush for me since the 560 runs 99% of what I throw at it pretty well.

macnbc posted:This is why I always buy EVGA. Their customer service has always been awesome when I've had an issue This so much. Seriously, don't be a cheapass and try to save $20 by buying awful garbage like Palit, those always die because they have the cheapest Chinese capacitors and components possible, whereas my EVGA 8800GTX lasted over 7 years of 24/7 uptime and was only removed because I upgraded to a 580GTX a couple years ago. The EVGA motherboard both cards have spent their lives in is still going strong and has never had an issue. I get trying to build a budget machine, but it is almost never worth it to buy the cheapest off-brand vid card/mobo/ram/PSU. Always stick to reputable manufacturers with good warranties. You're much better off slightly downspeccing your motherboard to a budget model from a good brand like Asus/Asrock or Gigabyte to stay under budget than to do it by buying off-brand components.

Palit GPUs are totally fine now because they are Nvidia only and greenlight is a thing.

I once had an EVGA card crap out on me once, and they let me come to their local office to swap it for a fresh card instead of dealing with postage. That's some A++ customer service right there. I certainly don't expect that in the future, but they've cemented my loyalty for a while. I've also had good results with ASUS, including motherboards, so they're also at the top of my list.

I've settled on MSI, Corsair and Asus for all my PC needs and have yet to be disappointed by their build quality or customer service. Man building PCs is so much less of a chore than it used to be!

BurritoJustice posted:Palit GPUs are totally fine now because they are Nvidia only and greenlight is a thing. Greenlight only sets standards for noise, heat, and power draw, it specifies nothing about the quality or longevity of components. Palit is still cheap garbage using the cheapest, most-likely-to-die-prematurely components. I'm sure they meet Nvidia's standards just fine for the three months until the caps start bulging.

Am I right in assuming that, short of MotioninJoy, there's no good way to get a Dualshock 3 working on PC, and that it's better to just get a wired 360 controller because the alternatives seem irritating/shady?

I think the Xinput wrappers are the way to go for them.

For purposes of emulating PSP and PS2 games, is there any big reason why I'd want a Dualshock 4 over a Dualshock 3?

Vegetable posted:For purposes of emulating PSP and PS2 games, is there any big reason why I'd want a Dualshock 4 over a Dualshock 3? For function? Not really. But I think the DS4 is a more comfortable fit, the triggers feel better, and the whole thing seems higher quality. The pad is nice to have for emulating a mouse in (the decidedly rare) case you might need to use the mouse to adjust an emulator setting and are too lazy to use your actual mouse.

I kind of wanted to use the movement controls on the DS4 to use it as a driving wheel on Sonic Kart. It's probably better to just use the analog stick but it might be neat.

I can't imagine using a wheel that isn't locked in a fixed position attached to something. I never understood how people played Mario Kart with those weird wheel wiimote attachments.

priznat posted:I've settled on MSI, Corsair and Asus for all my PC needs and have yet to be disappointed by their build quality or customer service. IMO it has less to do with mobo brands, and more to do with mobo design has gotten increasingly simplified due to more and more functionality integrated directly onto the CPU itself and overall power draw has also gone down a ton. Reliability certainly HAS no way but up with a Haswell with integrated PCIe/memory controller + <5W southbridge chip compared to a 2004 Prescott at drawing 130W with a hotter 2-chip chipset.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:RIP Steam Thread. I've had zero problems with it. It's a perfect port, aside from the minor issue of it not using xbox 360 icons for the buttons when I'm using a 360 controller; although the buttons themselves did what they were supposed to automatically. As for the gameplay, it follows the standard pattern of improvements over the earlier games. More battles, more characters, etc. This one does a much more complete telling of the Three Kingdoms story, including a Jin kingdom option with the characters and events from the end of the book, and has enough between battle information and cutscenes that you know what's going on without having read the book. Although you can easily skip everything if you don't care. There's branching paths in all the campaigns, a ton of difficulty levels and drops, and an ambition mode where you play randomized battles to build up your camp. So it's definitely worth getting if you're a fan of the series, although it's still going to be quite familiar. ponzicar fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jul 18, 2014 |

So I like my CM QuickFire Rapid, but is there a way to illuminate the Print Screen key? I can never remember which one it is, both it and Scroll Lock don't light up. Constantly find myself using the glow from under my mouse to find which key is which, no bueno when you need to grab a screenshot of something quickly.

You could always get a couple custom key caps, though maybe not worth it just for print screen. They seem nice as a set though. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/

That actually sounds pretty neat, but I feel like an carrying around a console-like controller (and tablet) is the antithesis of portable gaming. Would I like something more powerful than a 3DS with a better library? Hell yea. Do I want that? Not really  Not saying that the shield has a better library, but I just mean I'd like something that did.

Altran posted:Have you tried it? it looks great but I am worried of these pretty keycap lifespan. I haven't but as far as I know it's just the caps, and not the underlying switches which aren't being replaced. Unless you mean paint wearing off, which also seems unlikely. I'd get some of those myself by I have the QuickFire Stealth and they only explicitly support the Rapid.

If you already have an nVidia 600+ series card and an android device, you can stream to it using limelight. I can get a 720p 60 fps stream going to my Galaxy S3. Also, I think valve will get their streaming thing working on android clients sooner or later.
