hey is this supposed to be compatible with xp and vista?...

Figures this would be too easy...

Can anyone lend advice to fixing my problem, not that to install the controller or software but to make it work with my game.

The whole issue I'm having here is, windows recognizes and configures it (lights on or off the controller)...when I go to play say Fallout 3, it recognizes it and allows me to change button mapping to my liking. Yet when I go into actual gameplay the controller acts as its not functioning in any manor while my mouse and keyboard continue to do the work.

Now what Im trying to figure out here, is this setup primarily made for those using emulators and old school games? Or can this be used for new games like Fallout in this case? I consider myself to be pretty computer literate, but this one is baffling me. And unfortunately I dont have a older game to test (like a GTA ect). Can someone help? If so, Thanks in advance!

I am using Windows Vista and got the Sixaxis to work, but the red lights all still blink and pressing the PS button doesn't seem to do anything. I was able to get it to test in the Control Panel, and I did actually play the game Overlord with it!

The original way on the first thread of this post did not work for me at all. Anyway, I wrote up an article showing both ways to do it if you want to check it out.

I wish Sony would make some official drivers! They'd sell more Sixaxis controllers if they did.

I have tried to follow all the directions but can't make it past the first download. When I click download to install the driver a screen opens up and I click open then another screen opens up and closes almost instantly, then the open, save, cancel screen comes back. I need some help. PPPPLLLEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEE

why is this file opening up in windows media when I download it?

Will this mess up the controller in anyway? The control is my brothers, not mine. I'd like to do this so I can play Chrono Cross on an emulator. And I have the game, by the way, I just don't have a memory card or PS1 anymore.
