Can I use a GPwiz as a Playstation 3 controller?

Timstuff:
As this video shows, for many USB gamepads and joysticks it's all a matter of plug-and-play. If the GPwiz is recognized as a standard USB gamepad, then it ought to be worth testing out on a PS3 methinks.

BTW Randy, I'd certainly be happy to conduct the test once I can get my hands on some tools and wiring. All my arcade stuff is at my parents' house except for my screwdriver! >,<

I'm totally confused. The GPwiz is made for hacking your gamepad and connecting the wires to the GPwiz?

No.
It replaces the hacked gamepad.

This lets you use your joystick/buttons as a gamepad on the PC.
The question in this thread is whether it will do the same thing on a PS3.

Okay, I'm not confused in that the path is controls->gpwiz->PC. Then the wiz is mainly for PC games?

It appears as a standard gamepad to the computer, so it's for any app that will accept input from a gamepad.
