How do I use profiles?

Caution

This is not recommended if you’re using multiple controllers at once.

After downloading the profile,

1. Extract the .7z file.

2. Drag the input_configs folder into the configs folder where you have RPCS3 in.

   

3. After that, you can select the profile in the “Pads” menu.

   

Most of the time, these controller profiles should work out of the box. If they don’t, try changing the controller listed in Devices, next to the Refresh button until it receives an input. You can edit this while the game is running.
