The first time i tried i downloaded the wrong libusb-win32 i got the libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1 when i needed to have the 0.1.10.1. so i uninstalled and got the right one. i downloaded the package Sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver_For_PC which has the 3 files you need. so i installed again. ran the ps3sixaxis_en.exe and opened and closed(as it should) but without saying it found anything, only the 5 busses. no response in the nothing worked in the controller properties thing. ps button didn't do anything ect..
sooo. i decided to uninstall and delete every that was installed. including the 2 i the system32 and system32\drivers. i installed again using the stuff in the Sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver_For_PC. when the test window came up for the libusb-win32 install, i noticed my dll version and my driver versions were different(says it at the top of the test). one was 0.1.10.1 and the driver was 0.1.12.1. which i'm not sure why because i installed using the 0.1.10.1. i went ahead and tried again nothing worked.
another hour went by of reading pages of forums and repeating steps.
finally i decided to uninstall my controller from the device manager, uninstall libusb_win32, delete every file i downloaded. i re downloaded ps3sixaxis_en.exe and its libusb0.dll (which by the way should be in the same folder or you'll get an error). i downloaded the libusb_win32 file from source forge. i got the 0.1.10.1 version.
i was all set to reinstall again but i decided i would restart my comp first. so i did...
i had my controller plugged in
i start reinstalling and i see my dll version and my driver version are the same now during that test libusb_win32 does after you install it.
i use the ps3sixaxis_en.exe file. opens and closes like it should. so i didn't notice if it said anything different than "found 5 busses".
opened the controller properties. pressed the ps button and it worked. don't try to calibrate or the joystick will go insane. at least it did for me. so i just use the default settings.
i don't know how helpful this will be being that its rambling in nature and unorganized. its just a quick write up of what happened before it worked. i don't know what specifically it was that caused it to work. i know a lot of it was probably unnecessary. if it doesn't work just keep trying different things it'll work eventually if you have the patience.
ok, how do you stop the 4 flashing lights above the controller?
So after trying to get this to work on my own computer for about 3 hours, I finally gave up and tried it on my girl friends computer which was sitting right next to me. Followed the steps from post #1. It worked right away with zsnes and then setup the buttons via the input menu. (would glitch out if i accidentally touched the analog sticks). Anyways getting to the point, the real only difference between mine and hers is that I am running windows xp 64bit while she is running xp 32bit.
As far as I'm concerned right now, I don't think that these drivers work for 64 bit right now; if someone has gotten it to work otherwise I would be ecstatic if you could post your results. If not, I guess I'll just have to let my gf know that her machine is now my emulation computer... either that or installed 32 bit windows on my machine
does this work for other ps3 controllers as well? such as the Hori Fighting Stick 3?
ive seen people on other message boards use it with the pc as well, but i cant seem to get any of these ps3 controllers to work, with any of the methods posted on here or any other website
Hi, everyone, this is my first post.
I looked through this entire thread and saw the question asked but not answered...I got the PS3 controller actually working but, does anyone know if it's possible to get it to work on MAME? Thank you.
It works on MAME. :)
Thanks, but...how do you get it to. o.O I use MAME 32k 0.64 if that helps, I try to find a way to configure the controller but no dice.
It just keep flashing, and flashing?! :confused: :(
Game Controllers recognizes the controller and the status is claimed to be OK, but the controller just remains flashing and unresponsive. the flashing is starting to really piss me off too, like its mocking me lol. Yes I've pressed the PS button. And I've tried moving it into System 32, opening run, opening cmd prompt and typing ps3sixaxis_en. Success 0, number of flashes incalculable.
Help! Please! :confused:
Never mind. In a strange, welcome twist of events, it now works :s. I didn't do a thing, it just began working, its still flashing irritatingly. Through it was controlling Morrowind flawlessly. With a awesome command layout :cool: L3 should be implemented as attack more often, freeing up R1 for more Assassins Creed style setups.
