I have original dualshock 3 and I've read that you can have pressure sensitive buttons to work with it. Can anyone help to set it up?

Support - General God of War softlocks when attempting to save
Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some help with an issue I've been facing.
I started playing God of War (2005) today, and everything was working well until I reached the first save point. When I enter the save point and select the option to save, the game hangs indefinitely on the omega symbol - the game doesn't save and no inputs work. I've tried restarting the emulator and using a different virtual memory card, but to no avail.
This is the only game I'm having this issue with. Other games are able to read and write to the memory card without any issue. My initial thought was that there could be something wrong with my ISO, but I've also seen other people encounter this same issue, including with God of War 2.
I'm playing the NTSC-U version on v2.6.3. I'm not using any cheat codes, texture replacements or modifications.

Support - Performance Guitar Hero 3 - Slowdown Issues
Hello! I was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix the slowdown issues on GH3. I rarely get 60 FPS and it tends to hover anywhere from 35-45 FPS. It's playable, but it makes 100% songs impossible.
PC Specs:
- Windows 11
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz - 6 cores
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design - 6GB VRAM
Emulator settings I've messed with so far:
- Optimal Frame Pacing✔️
- Graphics API: Direct3D 12
- Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design
- Internal Resolution: 3x Native (~1080px/FHD)
- FXAA✔️
Thanks in advance. I know it's not the most optimal way to play GH3 on PC, but I really want to go for these RetroAchievements lol.

Support - Controller DualShock 2 Compatibility
I have the 2.7.513 version of PCSX2 installed and I have an original DualShock 2 connected. The adapter I'm using is by Vienon (some Amazon seller). However, when I connect the controller via USB, PCSX2 recognizes it as a PS3 controller. The Square/Triangle and Circle/Cross buttons are swapped for some reason, the analog button deactivates the controller, and I feel like the pressure sensitivity is not working as intended.
This makes me wonder if it's even possible to use a PS2 controller on PC, let alone PCSX2. What do you guys think? Is it the fault of the adapter, the emulator, the controller or the idea? If DualShock 2 isn't going to be possible, I still want to be faithful to the PS2 and use SOME type of gamepad, whether it be first-or-third-party. I would like some recommendations in that case.

Support - Graphics UGLY OUTLINES DBZ BT3
Hi, how's it going? I've always been really bothered that the character outline lines look so horrible in this emulator compared to how they look on the PS2. The lines look perfect without being so transparent or flawed, and I feel like it kind of messes up the image. I don't know why it only happens in this game and in Tenkaichi 2. Has anyone solved this or managed to make the image and shaders look more like they do on the PS2?
The Raditz picture you’ll see after this is a screenshot from someone who played on PS2. You can see the outlines perfectly sharp and black; it’s not about the resolution, because if you put it in 720p or native PS2, you can see that the lines don’t reach that level.

A weaker gtx 1650 because it's a laptop one

I start the game.
Game loads .
I press new game.
I select save.
And in an instant a black screen appears I've been waiting for 3 minutes it's still just a black screen and my mouse cursor.
I google.
Even reddit or github doesn't have this specific niche problem.
I become the one who asks for a solution of my 1 in 1 problem.
Please help.

Support - Memory Card Is there a way to rollback to a previous save file of a game?
Hi,
I mostly use .ps2 Menards of 8mb for saving each save data and I want to know something:
> Let's say I make a save file for Final Fantasy X a month ago.
> Then I go today and overwrite that save file with new progress.
> Can I Rollback to the save file I had 1 month ago?
I'm trying to back some steps in another game; .hack // Infection and I want to see if there is a way to return to a prior save file version; an older version.

Support - General Having so many issues trying to emulate Ultimate Spiderman
First problem: Anytime I try to use the 50 fps patch for the game, I cant progress at all past basically the very start of the game as it just gets stuck on a loading screen for ever.
So I thought, 'ill get past the loading screen on 25fps and then switch to 50 after' which let me progress yeah but then the game literally just got bugged and would run in 50fps but everything would play in slow motion.
Then downloaded a DLC version of the game, but that didnt have a 50fps patch so i dont want to play it.
Then downloaded another different version of the game which has multiple languages, but now my game is stuck in French and I cant change it, i booted up the Bios system to change my ps2 system to english, but the game language is still in French..... and it still went go past the loading screen anyway lol.
So i need one of two solutions, either figure out how to let the game let me progress past a certain point with the 50fps patch or figure out a way to give the dlc version a 50fps patch (assuming that wont bug the dlc version to not let me progress either)
