Key points

Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.

Use with PC platforms

Controller supports up to 12 buttons, 4-Axises (with switcher), 8-directional POV, led indicating, deadzone support and Digital/Analog modes. The readme.txt file covers in more detail of what can be changed.

Windows

vitastick

VitaStick requires the USB cable to connect your PS Vita to a Windows PC to use it as a USB game controller.
It's possible to enable ViGEm mode to make the PSVITA get detected from the PC as a DualShock 4 and/or vJoy mode to make it get detectes as an XInput joystick. If both modes are disabled, PSVITA will mimic keyboard/mouse actions.​
No wireless connection.

VitaPad

Install/open the VITAPAD application on PlayStation Vita, run VitaPad application on PC and connect to the handheld by inserting IP address which is displayed on Vita.
You can install vJoy driver for vJoy functionality. Need to set VJOY_MODE to 1 in windows.xml.
You can install ViGEm driver for DualShock 4 emulation. Need to set VIGEM_MODE to 1 in windows.xml.

Vita Moonlight

Vita Moonlight is NVIDIA Gamestream client for PlayStation Vita, based on moonlight-embedded.
Alternatively can be used with Sunshine, gamestream host for Moonlight.
The gamepad buttons are already configured making it very easy to jump in play games with very little setup.

Linux

Install/open the VITAPAD application on PlayStation Vita, run VitaPad application on PC and connect to the handheld by inserting IP address which is displayed on Vita.

Support in games

Games with generic DirectInput support are supported by the controller, however button placements may be out of place and need to be rebound. Refer to game-specific articles for rebinding support.

Games with DualShock button prompts

Please note, that this is only list for games that offer DualShock button prompts.
Some may require use of DualShock 4, which right now isn't possible to emulate. Refer to game-specific articles for details.
