Fix RPCS3 controller failed to be recognize:

This happens with RPCS3 (The PS3 emulator) on Linux with a new install where it will fail to recognize any DualShock 3 or 4, even though my Linux host can see it.
This will apply patches with txt files to help solve this problem.

DualShock 3:

create the needed file: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ds3-controllers.rules
and add this code to that file:

# DualShock 3 over USB
KERNEL=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0268", MODE="0666"

# DualShock 3 over Bluetooth
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*054C:0268*", MODE="0666"

Then save it,
Then to activate the changes, run "sudo udevadm control --reload-rules" and replug in your controller.

DualShock 4:

Create the needed file sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ds4-controllers.rules and add this code to that file:

# DualShock 4 over USB
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05c4", MODE="0666"

# DualShock 4 Wireless Adapter over USB
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0ba0", MODE="0666"

# DualShock 4 Slim over USB
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="09cc", MODE="0666"

# DualShock 4 over Bluetooth
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*054C:05C4*", MODE="0666"

# DualShock 4 Slim over Bluetooth
KERNEL=="hidraw*", KERNELS=="*054C:09CC*", MODE="0666"

Then save it,
Then to activate the changes, run "sudo udevadm control --reload-rules" and replug in your controller
