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

[omeganemesis28]

Still doesnt work on Vista 64x

[sandslasher95]

I noticed that the PS3 buttons are very...strange...which is a problem because I'm playing a game where I can't assign buttons, so I'm having attack be select...any way to reassign the buttons? Like X be button 7?

All help appreciated

EDIT: As well I've used Xpadder but it doesn't work with the game I'm playing.

All buttons on all controllers are actually numbers in windows. Go to your control panel > game controllers

Click on the properties or test button and click the buttons on the controller to see what number lights up in the test as you press.
You may have to write them down to remember which button is what number. Then, as long as the game you're trying to use allows you to assign custom controls, you can organize the buttons the way you want them.

Windows vista is very problematic. You're going to find a lot of things that work flawlessly in winXP won't work in windows Vista.
Because there aren't any vista drivers for it. Same thing with 32bit verses 64bit.

They've started making 64bit compatability but it isn't completely here yet.

Maybe I'm an idiot but when I download the .rar I cannot open it with anything other then Windows Media Player. Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

hmm weird.. k here's how i got it working, really different and worked when nothing else that anyone posted did.

1. i installed the thing, then plugged in the controller,
2. moved ps3sixaxis_en.exe into the system32 folder
3. i went run cmd then just entered ps3sixaxis_en and then in that dos window it randomly said a bunch of stuff that i don't understand,
4. i tried to press the playstation button and nothing happened
5. then i tried steps 3 and 4 a few more times again
6. i was about to post here about how it still wasn't working but randomly(maybe it needed to sit there for a bit) all the controller port lights flashed(not just 1 of the ports) and so then i went back to test to see if it works and then it WAS working! now i can play mgs1 with ps3 controler on pc! doesn't need to be an emulator for it to work and must be using usb cable.

But there's still a problem with it, the Analog sticks don't really work right, i try to configure the move buttons to pushing the left analog stick in the way that it should to move in teh direction that i'm configuring it to but once that happens the analog doesn't seem to work properly. anyone know if there is a way to get that part to work? other than that this all works great. i hope it stays that way for when my comp reboots.

Okay, sorry if this has been answered but I can't look through all the 46 pages.

When you run ps3sixaxis_en.exe is the cmd prompt supposed to open and then close?

Can't seem to get this to work...

Yes, it's supposted to open and close like that. After it does, press and hold the PS button for at least 2-3 seconds. The controller should function after that.

Muchas gracias por el driver, funciona a la perfección en mi cpu, ahora que la apague, a ver si todavÃ*a funciona a la perfección.

awsome

Wasnt sure if anyone asked or answered this, but I was wondering if someone could configure the driver to make the triangle, square, O, and X buttons be set as buttons 1-4 instead of 13-16, because the game Im playing doesnt recognize button numbers that high...
