PS3 hacked to use 360 controller

PS3 Fanboy has a post up on their website about yet another console hack. This time it’s far more impressive from the usual stuff you tend to see floating around the net.

Someone else has hacked up their system and got the “almighty” 360 controller working on it. If you’ve got Linux on your PS3, you can most certainly use the wired version of the 360 controller. Its functionality has been tested with snes9x (an emulation program that kicks bum) and Doom and passes with flying colors.

If you want to install the driver onto your PS3, the install file is here.

Alas, this is pretty pointless as you wouldn’t be able to use the rumble from the 360 controller, since games designed for the PS3 don’t have it built into them.
