Yeah, you're kinda right, except the PS3 controller is much more comfortable and works much better for old school games than the 360 hunk of crap does.Quote:

STOP AND READ, if any of these are you don't continue.
1.) If you cant open a rar file, and are stuck there, then you are a retard and shouldn't be doing this.
2.) If you don't know that dos windows open then close unless in a command prompt, you also fall into the retard category as the people in number 1.
3.) The lights are suppose to blink 29 pages and you still don't get it?
4.) NO it doesn't work via blue tooth only cable.
***Now I feel better****
Here was my issue.
Bought a new PS3 controller (dont own a PS3)
Plugged the controller in, Vista found some crazy driver for it, nothing to do with Human Interface Devices of HID's, didnt show up in the Game Controllers either. But the ps3sixaxis_enu did show it was connected.
My Vista was trashed anyways so I did a fresh installed.
1.) First thing I did once I logged in for the first time before anything else was plugged the ps3 controller in with Device Manager open.
Vista found the controller this time and placed it under Human Interface Devices!
(YES one step further than before)
2.) Next thing I did was unplug and plugged it into all of my USB ports to make sure it was recognized by all them as an HID device! *optional*
3.) Went to the control panel then game controls and it shows up.
4.) Unrared the file (Already had it backed up before redoing my Vista)
5.) Next figured run the PS3sixaxis_en.exe, but it tells me its missing a DLL file.
6.) I installed the LibUSB-Win32-0.1.10.1 file, ran the test and it showed verions 1.10.1 like it should.
7.) Ran the ps3sixaxis_en.exe, it opened and closed like it should.
8.) Went back into game controllers and clicked advanced, All the buttons were working and the axis were working did not have to calibrate or push the Playstation button for 5 second.
***Other things***
Having a shortcut to the PS3sixaxis_en.exe in your startup is ok, but here is something I noticed, if I unplug the controller once windows is booted up, then plug it back in again. I have to run the PS3sixaxis_en.exe.
So everytime you plug and plug your controller back in, it will need to be re-ran. I found this out because buying a PS3 controller they dont give you a USB to mini USB cable, so Im sharing a cable with my external hard drive for the time being.
Either way, most likely the problem is people have so many different programs and stuff installed on their system. A clean install and the first thing done is plug in the controller, even before the video drivers or any other drivers for the system might fix your problem.
any1 got it workin yet
maybe the wrong downloaded driver?
me works it well
yea i have the exact same problem. hmm...
not to add more stuff to the confusion but ...
there's no libusb0 file on vista :D (only on xp)
the driver works, and the controller is recognized
but is more of a hit or miss type of thing ...
(using the same drivers in a HORI FS3)
*** keeps fingers crossed ***
go to this link http://dl.qj.net/WinXP-PC-drivers-fu...12155/catid/47 the one that was posted didnt work good and it should work because i was playin halo with the SIXAXIS controller and it works alright
I seem to have found the source of problems. So here's the stroy:
It works fine on my sister's PC. The controller appears like this in her Device Manager :
http://img1.tar.hu/crash/img/33180448.jpg
You see ? It says it right there in the red circle I added.
On my PC, it doesn't work. And here's how the controller appears in my Device Manager:
http://img1.tar.hu/crash/img/33180449.jpg
See? It isn't named PS3-blablabla, just "USB device". And so it is no wonder the ps3sixaxis_en.exe cannot find it.
I don't really know how to solve this, but I was kinda hoping that the founder of this driver would. Hope tihs helps him.
PS.
Sorry about the gibberish language in the pics xD , but I think the point can be made out
Surprising? It was only a matter of time. Yes, the SIXAXIS can be used in Windows. wraggster was able to come up with a driver for you PC to recognize the PS3 controller. It works as a USB HID on Windows, but he still recommends that your OS should be Windows XP or higher.
Here are the instructions:
Download and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe).
Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.exe
Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once.
Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it doesn’t see it straight away.
Now before anything else, we’ve been hearing that the driver doesn’t work for a couple of people. We’re really not sure why, but if you follow the instructions carefully, we’re sure you’d do fine. We’ve even gotten confirmation that someone was able to run it on a MacBook Pro via Boot Camp Win XP.
Yeah, the motion-sensing doesn’t work, but hey!, it’s a damn good start as any other! If the Wiimote’s motion-sensors are already recognized, then soon enough, the SIXAXIS would be just as competent.

I ran the libusb thing and got the ps3 controller working just fine. The only problem is that the driver caused my Zune mp3 player to not be recognized.

i installed the lilusb0 file, and right after installation my usb ports do not work (USB mouse stops working, external hd, etc.) Also, i ran the test and it showed version 1.12.1 - any help? btw, running vista 32.
Try using Xpadder....it is a software program that lets you configure any controller using keyboard settings and mouse....here is the link...http://www.xpadder.com/ its also free... :)Quote:

You can find these files easily by doing a search for "libusb". If they are not version 0.1.10.1 then delete them and reinstall libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe.
Once you have reinstalled libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe run ps3sixaxis_en.exe.
You should now go into Control Panel -> Game Controllers -> highlight "Playstation(R)3 Controller" -> Properties. Press the Playstation button on the controller and it should work.
I had a hell of a time trying to figure this out. I hope this helps everybody.
Could someone give me some intructions with more info on how to make this thing work for online games?
resinfy, thanks a lot, it works now=)
I'm Sorry i gave you false hope, but there are people that are having problems with the usb useQuote:

I have a dongle ready to get some use! :)
Controller wont go to 1 all the lights keep flashing, and that command window comes up for like half a second and has something about detecting 8 busses on it, thanks.
Okay, guys. I read to page nine of the thread, and tried every remedy that had sprung up.
I am running Vista x64 Ultimate. I followed the instructions as accurately as i could. As everybody else is stating, the controller blinks with all four leds. I gathered this is how it should be.
Now, in Device Manager the controller is listed in the "Human Interface Devices" twice. You've got the "HID-compliant game controller" and a "USB human interface device" which I had two of before I installed. Inside the test-program it says:
"DLL version: 0.1.10.1
Driver version: -1.-1.-1.-1
bus/device idVendor/idProduct"
Always the same. Tried to press the PS-button, to hold it for 5 seconds, for 10 seconds, inside the properties for the driver and I also tried not to press it.
Anyone with exactly the same problem in 64-bit Vista? And has the sprung up any remedies for this?
Thats how i got it to work, I love you guys!Quote:

Oh and btw, you guys should unplug your ps3 (my controller doesnt work but it was turning on my ps3 at first lol, from downstairs)
I love you guys. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
ty
i downloaded it then i cant open it..........what do i use 2 open this ?
from the top what do i need 2 download(all nessasarry files 2 make controller work) and where maybe gimme a link
Have you checked the settings for controllers under the Start menu - START>KONAMI>PRO EVO 6(or whatever ur folder is)>SETTINGS. i often find i have to check that as i use diff controllers for diff games. 360 wont work on GTA series properlyQuote:

I might just try a system restore, but still, I don't know why it ain't working.
Nevermind, the wire I was using was just faulty. It was detected and is properly working :). Gonna try it out now.
Ok, I tried everything, and nothing worked.
I'm running windows vista 32, and the way I got it working was:
1.)I installed the driver in safe mode.
2.)I created a new windows profile.
After logging into the new profile, everything is now peaches and cream!
Note: It probably doesn't matter that I've installed it in safe mode...
Thanks alot for this. Works perfectly, and on 1st try. :)
anybody get any word of a 64bit version of the driver i can't get my ps3 controller to work on my computer (Vista 64) but when my new laptop comes i will try it on there (which has Vista 32)
Does anyone know if a bluetooth river for the SIXAXIS is currently being worked on? I'm still hoping for that!
everything seems to be working but when i go to set it up in the controle panel and click properties on the controller it tells me it is not connected properly when it blatently is
Thenx Very Match Mean
