You find it in the RAR file archive attached to the first post. Read the instructions on how to get the PS3 controller working carefully and it will work.

Thought i'd write a very quick guide to getting this to work:

1) Download Winrar from here.
2) Download Ps3 driver files here.
3) Once Winrar is installed, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the PS3 files.
4) Right click the downloaded file and choose "Extract to 11679_Sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver_For_PC"
5) Copy the folder to your C: drive.
6) Open up a "Run" box by pressing the Windows key and the R key. Type "cmd" without the "" in here and press enter.
7) Type in here " cd C:\11679_Sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver_For_PC" once again without the ""
8) Plug in your controller and then type "ps3sixaxis_en"
9) If you get a result something like this:

found 7 busses
Dev# 0 : 8086 - 2830
Dev# 3 : 054C - 0268
found PLAYSTATION(R)3
InterfaceNumber = 0
initiated USB mode
Dev# 8 : 0A5C - 4500
Dev# 9 : 413C - 8126
Dev# 10 : 0A5C - 4502
Dev# 11 : 0A5C - 4503
Dev# 1 : 8086 - 2831
Dev# 2 : 8086 - 2832
Dev# 4 : 8086 - 2835
Dev# 5 : 8086 - 2836
Dev# 6 : 05A9 - 2640
Dev# 7 : 8086 - 283A

10) If you got a similar result to the above then simply press the PS button on your controller and you're good to go.
11) If however you did not, navigate to the PS3 drivers folder and install the libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe file and proceed from step 8.


Note: If your controller works but is not supported in certain games e.g. Crysis, use Xpadder to map the PS3 controller buttons to key strokes/mouse movements. I use Xpadder for all games that don't natively work with the PS3 controller and will be glad to give any help setting it up, just PM me

Has anyone heard of any developments re: using the SixAXIS with a bluetooth dongle?

Has anyone got the drivers working on Vista Business 64bit? I've detailed my status on the following thread; http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=69891#69891. SIXAXIS libusb-win64 has been released but the issue-I think-- isn't with SIXAXIS libusb-win64 it's with ps3sixaxis_en, which simply crashes as soon as I run it, you can find more info on the thread I linked to. Secondly this thread is running just above/below 50 pages, and with the vast majority of people complaining that the drivers aren't, must imply that the quality of the implementation must be questioned.

I seriously hope the author would release something shortly, I'm pretty sure if we all email him, he'll release a fix. BTW obtaining the email is pretty simple, it's spitted out when you run the program!
