The Dual Shock 3 emulation mode can be useful for PS3 games that require the Gyrometer and Accelerometer features of the Sony DS3 controller. Examples are the games Journey and Flower, which are played using these inputs.
A Preferences sheet is required to enable the DS3 emulation:

In the Dual Shock 3 mode (0), the Quadstick has the ability to control the Gyroscope and Acceleromter outputs of the Dual Shock 3 / Six Axis controller. This can be useful in games that require those outputs to play the game, such as shaking the flash light in the Last of Us.
