Yep, a few! There's this site and the good old SCPUser app.
Well, the website just says it's not available:

SCPuser produces vibration. Stronger than in the games.
Not sure how it should work. The top slider produces vibrations about from a quarter of the way and vibrates intensely when I pull it.
The lower however only vibrates periodically even when I pull it. Apparently at the same pace and intensity all throught the range of the slider, outside the starting position.
All in all it feels weaker then I expected, but I guess it might be DS3 just doesn't vibrate that strongly.
Doesn't explain the abnormal vibration in-game though.

Yes, DI is still part of Windows and works fine, but if the DS3 is in "Xinput" mode, you don't really gain anything from that, if the emulator supports Force-Feedback, try the SDF mode.
As I said, I encourage experimentation
Well I tried setting it to DI and the buttons weren't registered then. The emulator was also set to DI.
How does the genuine check work? Does it warn somehow, or just refuses to work?
If I had no messages does it surely mean the pad is genuine?
No sure what I could figure out of its sticker:
