[OLD] PS3 Sixaxis Controller Can Be Used In Windows!

[newkidd]

yeah so, i just read this whole thread...and followed every instruction that was on here...

my problem i guess is i get window to recognize it, but it wont install it as anything.
no matter what i try, i cant get the driver to recognize on windows to install it.

can anyone help me out?

yeah so i figured out how to install the ps3 controller as a hi device, but every time i try to run the ps3sixaxis_en program, it starts the program then crashes before it has a chance to start the initiator.... what can i do to keep this from crashing?

I bought a ps3 controller, and it works xD

One thing, does this support the sixaxis aswell, I'd like to play my MS flight sim X with this controller.

1. Download the files, and use the "libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1" file. Follow the instructions until its installed.
2. Plug in the PS3 controller.
3. Open control panel, then game controllers. Make sure its on there. You should notice the PS3 controller is doing nothing right now. Open properties for the controller to enter the test screen, and leave it there.
4. Run "ps3sixaxis_en". It SHOULD open and close. Now go back to the screen where the controller test is and hit the PS button a few times. Button 17 should light up. If it does, congrats, your controller is working.

This is what I did to make it work. I don't do this now cause its much more simple to do now that I know how.

Once you get it going, every time you plug it in, just run ps3sixaxis_en and hit the ps button.

Hope that helped, and good luck getting it to work.

Thanks, it worked for me

I want to say thanks to author of these drivers.

Just like some of these guys I had a hell of time getting it to work. I uninstalled, reinstalled about 5 times. My screen read 5 bussess during the dos executable. Finally , i had the game controller open in control panel and it was detecting the sixaxis but i was having the same prob as the other guys because i couldn't get the controller to respond to the calibration. When i installed the last time , after i put installed the drivers, i left the game controller window open and ran the executable and kept tapping the ps button during all the step. Dont know why but i finally worked.

Thanks:thumbup:

is there a program that allows me to remap the buttons on the PS3 Controller?

[Triv1um]

It doesnt work

Who ever knows how to do this, pm me.

EDIT - ive got it working, awesome.

I have the controller working now, and I want to play it with BF2, except that only one analog only functions, and I can't look around except by using my mouse.

My question is, is that is it posibble to use the controller analog stick as a mouse? Or can I change that in-game?

[deanos63]

does anyone have pro evolution soccer 6? i can't get the d-pad to work or the other buttons, the only buttons that work on this game are the left and right analoge sticks and the r1 and r2 buttons and start.

does anyone know how to get the all to work?

Ahhh, finally!

I managed to get the PS3 controller working. It was a bit tricky, but this is what I did:

I originally installed a different version of libusb than the suggested one: 0.1.10.1

Each time I would uninstall and reinstall, it would keep the newer drivers. So what I ended up doing is:

1. uninstalling libusb
2. manually deleting the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\libusb0.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\libusb0.sys

3. installing libusb 0.1.10.1 from here.
4. let the test application run after installation, and make sure the DLL and Driver Version is 0.1.10.1
5. Plug in your PS3 controller
6. Run the ps3sixaxis_en.exe program
7. Press the PS3 button on the controller.
8. Repeat step 6-7 till the ps3sixaxis_en.exe says "found PLAYSTATION(R)3 SIXAXIS controller", at which point the controller should work in Control Panel -> Game Controllers -> PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller -> Test

Hope this helps those that are banging their heads like I was!
