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

[hockey2112]

I had some trouble getting this set up, but only because I wasn't paying close attention and installed the wrong driver version. I did a system restore to earlier in the day, installed the correct driver, and everything works great now! I hope someone can figure out how to get the Bluetooth working though... 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?

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.

Thats how i got it to work, I love you guys!
