downloaded the sixaxis setup program as well, still no luck.

poops. there must be something I've missed..

EDIT: reinstalled everything and google->downloaded the files
now the test lib usb program can't seem to find anything and the
ps3sixaxis_en doesn't crash but it can't seem to find the controller it only states: "Found 7 busses"

although what is posted/quoted on page 45 here by Red_skull was some useful info on the way.

EDIT2: ok update #2:
been roaming this thread like crazy all day, deleted and reinstalled the .10 and .12 drivers and repeat several times, had my laptop crash, blue screens, accidently turned on my ps3 (lol), rebooted laptop in safe mode reinstalled the drivers and finally, both the testlibusb program and the ps3sixaxis_en detect my sixaxis controller!
(does anyone else sense a big Harry BUTler? yes it's coming)
BUT! when go into the Gaming controller in the control panel it says my controller isnt installed correctly and wont let me access that screen, and the controller is still flashing all four leds.

at the bottom of TestLibUsb where it has stated that it has detected the sixaxis it also says:
Unable to fetch serial number string
Couldn't retrieve descriptors
don't know if this is the problem though.

ps. I think the crash I was mentioning might've been cause the ps3sixaxis_en wasnt in the same folder as the other two files at that time.

Hi. I did everything right and when I click that one thing, the black box appears for a quick second, then goes away. I hold the PS button but nothing happens..?

I've had success with the implementation here which uses ppjoy and btsix; running 32bit xp.

it does not come up as a zip file

doesnt work

please make one that WORKS...

Or, you can look at the extention. It's 7Zip, download it and extract and setup. It's not that hard.

Ive done the same thing but unfortunately my Z axis registers as left and right and my z rot is up and down. Are you having the same issue?

No, however, I would simply use a program to re-map the axis. I'm not sure as to what program to use, but I'm sure you can find it in the vBJirc or elseware in the forums.

hey can you try to get the filter in .zip?

[fernandez1991]

The Sony PS3 SIXAXIS controller can be used on a Windows PC but Windows XP and upwards would be best. It works as USB HID device under Windows.

Here's the instructions to make it work:

1. Download and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe). (attached zip)
2. Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.exe
3. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
4. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once. A command prompt window will appear for a few seconds.
5. When the window closes, press and hold the PS button on the Sixaxis controller for at least 2-3 seconds.

If you want to see if the controller is being detected:

1. Go to Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Game Controllers.
2. Select the Playstation 3 controller and choose Properties. A dialog window will appear.
3. Move both the analog sticks and press the buttons. The cursor and bars will move in the Axis section and the numbers in the Buttons area will light up.
4. If output is displayed, the controller is properly detected and working fine.
