I will say that x360ce.com is very good. There is a 32-bit, 64-bit and universal versions (go with universal). It has an auto-map option. I don't have a PS controller to test it with. I'm also not sure it'll work with that exe, but it might. I've used it once to fool Visceral Cleanup Detail to think a Thrustmaster wheel is a 360 controller; long story but it worked for what I needed and I didn't try the auto-map...

Go to x360ce.com and download the 3.2.10.82 • 2018-07-07 for 32bit games. Drop it in with the borderlands 2 exe and run it. Default setting from the internet are fine, but make sure and clear all but the first controller. Then save and close it. Source: over 1 year ago
