Obviously I havn't read through all of this thread (52 pages) to see if anyone else was having this issue, but I think I can safely assume its widespread.
The dead zone on these controllers do not work for racing games. I've now tried a number of games with a number of controllers, and they always veer left, or right, or change between the two, when there is no input on the analogue sticks.
In your "Control panel - game controllers - properties - settings - calibrate" You can see (even after calibration) that the deadzone for each axis jumps from 49% to 51%.
In FPS games, this could be frustrating, but in RACING games, its the difference between winning, or getting pasted. I've searched on the net for ages now, and there is no fix for this, which is an incredible shame, because these controllers would be perfect for racing (in theory).
Also, the triggers are recognized as buttons. This means that no matter how much pressure is applied to the triggers, they will only register as "ON" or "OFF". Not sure if this is just XP not being able to assign another axis or two, but again, its incredibly frustrating.
Sad to say as it is, I almost don't see the point in trying to use these as controllers for PC games. When you are not moving either analogue stick, your computer will always think your gently nudging it it one direction or the other, all the time. I am yet to see any exceptions to this.
NOTE: This happens both with this release, and the newer dual shock three drivers. The controller is the issue, so I cannot see the sixaxis ever being an option for PC gaming.
HEY I ALSO HAVE WINDOWS 7 BETA BUT I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO CHARGE MY SIXAXIS CAN YOU HELP ME BY TELLING ME HOW U DID IT PLS THNXQuote:

I had it working before, but Windows was killed by a virus and I can't seem to get it goign again.
I've now added an alternative zip package to the first post in case anyone has issues with the RAR file (not that I've come across any myself though)

I installed this on my laptop HOPEING it would install a sixaxis driver, but instead it uninstalled ALL of my drivers!
I couldn't even plug-and-play or use the keypad!
Fuk this guy, the only button that worked was the power button. I had to restore my system.
Hm, it's not working well in GTA San Andreas on PC. I've tried but when I try to walk forward, it makes me go left. Backwards is right, left is up, right is down. Wtf? Same thing for the camera movements(Basically I'm talking about the sticks). Anyway to fix that?
Same problem
mines is all good, registered but when i open up the test area it doesnt move or reacts, can you help me out??
yeah... when i try to play nfs: undercover and try to hit the R2 button why does it take me to the menu even after setting it as shift up?
worked on vista, run ps3sixaxis as admin
calibrate it first in gamepads
Considering the amount of makeshift devices I've made from tearing appart stereo's and headphones, guitars, building computers, and being a total geek for a long time, I'm ashamed that I was thinking of buying an xbox controller off my friend I have a ps3 downstairs. NO idea how I overlooked this, especially considering I have a server program on my pc that runs through my wireless router to my PSP W-lan and acts as a joystick. Without the joysticks it's not great for ps2 though. I used to love it for snes and stuff though.
The time's have changed again, eh? Why do I suddenly feel elderly... ugh.

Make sure you have the ps2 controller plugged into the USB port. It's not running on wireless (although it's possible if you have wireless internet).
Be sure to follow the steps in the right order. If you launch the files in the wrong sequence, go to your start menu and use the uninstall option and retry.
Also if you're still having trouble, I'd reccomend deleting the rar. or zip folder and download it again. extract it to a folder, but this time BEFORE you launch the installer, go to start> control panel then on the left switch from category view to classic view via the "switch to classic view". From there: Add hardware> and scan for added hardware. Your USB ports may not be picking up the ps2 controller because they're lame like that depending on your motherboard and so forth.
Also make sure you're following the steps precisely.
Wired or wireless option here we go. Works wonders for me! U guys should try it!

I don't think the older version of libusb is needed. The main problem is that you have to hold down the PS button and immediately after, you need to run the .exe file (not libusb, the other one). If it isn't working, it'll display "# busses found" before closing. If it does work, it'll say "# busses found, PlayStation controller etc etc found" before closing.
After the program has found your controller, you can go to game controllers -> test, hit the ps button a few times, and it should eventually pick up your controller's movements.
voila.
Well I made an account just to post here. It was working for my computer pre-f*ck-up (pre-f*ck-up is the stage in my computer life where I foolishly installed Ubuntu as another operating system then tried to get rid of it, ended up having to format my hard drive [windows was crashing on attempted start up,]) so I tried to get this to work just a minute ago, followed the instructions, etc., etc.. Windows (forgot to mention: Vista 32-bit, service pack 1) wasn't even making its usual beeps; tried to restart the computer, there is where it gets "fun", keyboard and mouse didn't work and the computer crashed within 15 seconds of windows log on. Had to grab the Ol' PS/2 keyboard and mouse, boot into safe mode, and delete lib-usb. Everything is working fine now, except the controller, back at square one. Any help?
I think I'm going to go with an earlier person's idea. Permanently borrow an Xbox controller from a "friend".
Hey, first time poster.
for hockey2112: I've been using the USB. I don't know if the Bluetooth connection would work. But I will try it sometime.
Anyway, I also had a little bit of trouble while trying to install the controller and quickly made a tutorial for others.
Zip version: http://fileho.com/download/481e59901...orial.zip.html
Tar version:

I got the original program from the Japanese site posted earlier. And it works great. My email is [email protected] if anyone has problems with the quick tutorial.
Hey I just registered to post and say this is awesome.
Worked first time with me, and I'm playing through Super Mario Bros 3 again with it.
Only problem is I can't get it to work good with GTA3. the analogue sticks work to control the player, but none of the other button work :/.
Still, thanks so much :)
If I set my PS3 controller up with my computer, will it still be paired with my PS3?
I get an URL not found when i try to download your guides. has the domain recently closed?Quote:

Followed the instructions and have received as much response from the controller as I did when I tried plugging it in without a driver. Oh wait, that's right, that means none! And if I am getting no response, then this driver doesn't work... AT ALL.
So yeah, how in the bloody frelling hell do I get this god forsaken thing to work?
This driver works great for UT3! Good Job on it. :]
This is awesome, have'nt tried it yet but im excited about it.
There must be a way, although my pc does not find the controller when discovering bluetooth devices. Wouldnt it be cool though?Quote:

perhaps you're opening the wrong file after unzipping like I did.Quote:

it works but the assigned buttons are completley different from my Logitech which works perfect. Gonna dig some more to get this to work.
Hey guys,
Does anyone know how to map the buttons through the driver? Street Fighter IV won't let me map them ingame, so I want to try it through the driver, but there aren't any options. Can anyone help me out?
Mine has a problem, when I try to use the setup, it says I have an acess violation :/ If anyone can help, it would be appreciated!
