I have a DS3 and DS4. However, most of the games I play on PC only have button prompts for XBOX because... well... Microsoft. I was wondering if there was/is a project that could change all of the XBOX controller button prompts to either the DS3 or DS4 controller button prompts.

If you're talking about in-game prompts for any given PC game (i.e. "Press X to reload" in a call of duty game or something) they're specific to that game and chances are the only way to change them would be through in-game options if they even give you the option to change those. Re-mapping controller buttons is a common functionality, but changing the "type" of controller from xbox to playstation to mouse & keyboard isn't (not to mention the variety of controller styles for each system, different buttons, extra buttons like turbo, etc). The only game I've played that does this is Spelunky... if you're playing without a controller connected the prompts show up as keyboard commands, but if you plug in an xbox 360 controller the prompts appear as xbox buttons... I haven't tried it with a playstation controller though
If there are no options in-game the only other solution would be to have some sort of 3rd party utility that alters the actual game files, but it would need to vary from game to game... unfortunately all PC games don't have a "controls.cfg" file with code like "reloadPrompt = X.button"

Yep, I was trying to do it per game for those in game prompts. I was hoping there was a utility that replaces the xbox controller prompts with playstation controller prompts because just about every major, recent game has xbox controller support now.
Even instructions on how to do this manually per game would help. I know I saw someone that did this for one game on Steam, but I can't find it at the moment. I just need the game to show playstation controls when it detects a controller, and not the xbox controls.
I have never posted here before but the only game that I have seen this done before is in the borderlands series. Navigate to your config file in documents/my games/borderlands/willow game/config/ willowgame.INI ... I'm not exactly sure of the path since I'm currently on my phone but in that file, search for fakeplatform=-1 change it to 2 for ps3 prompts. (-1 = PC, 1= Xbox, 2= ps3)
