Where are the START and SELECT buttons for PS3 games?

We have mapped these PS3 commands to the DualSense™ (and DUALSHOCK®4) wireless controller touchpad. Click the left side for SELECT and the right for START, just like the DUALSHOCK 3 controller. Make sure that you click the touchpad as this will not work if you touch or tap it.
