Skullgirls Encore for PS4 supports PS3 arcade sticks — why that's good news for everyone
Any stick that reads as a Generic USB GamePad or Joystick will work," Bartholow said in an email to Polygon. "This covers MadCatz TEs, which are the majority of what the fighting game community uses right now, as well as many other smaller brands and custom options such as the GodLike Controls' Cthulhu boards.
While the software that enables PS3 controller compatibility on PS4 isn't officially supported by Sony, it was developed by someone with intimate knowledge of PlayStation platforms. Naughty Dog programmer John "Cowboy" Bellomy wrote the new USB driver for Lab Zero in his free time, Lab Zero says, because it "sounded neat."
Once work on the PS3 to PS4 USB driver is complete, Lab Zero plans to let other developers use their code. There's no fee to do so, and other developers can build upon and adapt the driver. They just have to share their work with Lab Zero in return.
