Then it's broken.
Yes you can. You can break any controller by pressing the buttons to hard. My sister broke my ps3 controller.
l stands for Left and it is the left side of the controller and pushing down on the front two buttons are L1 and L2 and the Left joystick for the L3. You can also use the arrow pointing left on the directional buttons for some operations although it is not a left button on the controller. Moving the Joystick to the left will also move objects left
Yes.But if the PS3 game doesn't allow you to map the buttons, the buttons may not do what you want.
If you mean you're moving without hitting any buttons then it's most likely that the joystick(s) weren't centre when you turned on the game or when you turned on/plunged in your controller. This makes the game think that whenever the Joystick was when you turned the game on is the centre meaning that when the Joystick is centre it's off centre and you will walk.
All of them
You don't it's a PS3 and not made for Microsoft
No you can not use the controller so you do not get to how the buttons will work, they will not work
i count 17 (including L3 and R3)
Well, according to http://news.filefront.com/how-to-use-a-ps3-controller-on-a-pc/ , you must install a driver in order for your PS3 controller to work on your computer. From there, you can simply plug in your controller and then run ZSNES. ZSNES should regard your PS3 controller as a joystick, or whatever the driver assigns the PS3 controller. However, according to some comments on the above page, you may have some difficulties getting the controller to work with your PC...
Yes, the wireless controller works with every ps3 games.
no. a ps3 joystick is wireless but a ps2 need a wired joystick in order to play games
You use the directional buttons on the left side of the controller for Ps3
