There could be many reasons for your issue. From my experience it depends on what video plugin you use. Even if some games support Dualshock controllers, you'll still need to use certain plugins to get that feature to work correctly. It could also be the controller you're using. I'm currently using a GGE909 PC Recoil Pad; I can manually turn analog on and off (although F5 seems to work. Just a thought). I'm quite sure you can't do that so conveniently with PS3 controllers, unless you pull the menu (GUI) up and mess with the settings on your PS3.
Which brings me to ask: Have you tried pushing the PS button in the center? If so and that didn't work, what all plugins does your emulator have? What kind of graphics cards and display driver does your PC have?
