Emulate PS3 controls on PC with a PS3 gamepad

Hi, I began playing DA:I  a couple of days ago but I'm struggling with the Keyboard and mouse controls (I honestly think they are very bad)  and I decided to try and plug in my PS3 controller. I installed it and everything, but in only allows me to emulate XBOX controlls and it doesn't even work (just some of the controls work).

So I was thinking that there has to be a way to emulate Dragon Age PS3 controls on PC, so you can use a PS3 controller on PC.

Does someone know how to do this? I'm not enjoining the game as much as I would because of the controls. Help, please?

Thanks!!!!

    Sorry, only the xbox pad is supported. It might be possible to get some 3rd party software that can emulate 360 controls on a PS3 pad, but it's not something I have any information on. You could also use generic pad mapping software, but I can't see that working well as it'd be emulating KBM controls.

    Thank you all for the answers.  I already tried Motionjoy and it didn't work, so I guess I'll have to keep using K/M.

    Do you know if there's some way to elimite the cursor on the screen while you are playing and use the movement of the mouse to move the camera (and the character) in the direction you want?

    Thh program in the link I posted is different to motioninjoy and should work, I'm using a PS3 pad using it. Uninstal motioninjoy before installing SCP server I linked though.

    Also, have you changed the control settings in the menu from keyboard and mouse to controller? You need to change it before your controller will work.  

    One more thing,  if you are using a Bluetooth dongle to connect to your pad it may not be fully supported but there is a work around here.
