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

[DeNven]

yeah, open rum and type "cmd". then work your way to the directory that you unpacked the everything to and type in the the name of the program. winxp dos not allow programs to open there own command prompts for security reasons, so you always have to run command prompt programs manually in xp.

When you place ps3sixaxis_en.exe into windows/system32, you will be able to immediately run the file without specifying dir's. The computer should not even think twice. However, my old (really $#@!) PC couldn't execute ps3sixaxis_en.exe directly from cmd prmpt . I'm thinking it didn't work because it was XP SP1. However, I do not have that problem now. If you know why this happens, post.

Whenever i try to install the libusb driver it says creating services, the progress bar is full and it just stops there, what am i doing wrong?

Is there any library to get the sixaxis information, like there is for the wiimote (like wiiuse) ?

Not waiting. How long do you wait. One time I had to wait for...like...10 min. Or the libusb driver you have downloaded is corrupt with damaged files. Give me the download mirror you used, the full download link.

I don't know about wiiuse. Why do you need the information? There is a program which just gives hardcore ps3 remote use. click here

think there is a way to use the blutooth in my lappy to connect to the controller ?

No, Sorry . The ps3 remote is strictly restricted to work ONLY for the PS3. If you have linux, you are in luck, it will work. However, if you are running windows, your bluetooth won't communicate with the controller. One time, I don't know how, but I was able to communicate with the controller, but I couldn't access it (On windows).

This shows how the bluetooth will function:

If you put your ps3 on standby, then you press the ps button, the bluetooth signals meet and match and communicate with each other and the ps switches on. If you first switch on your ps, your controller will first look for a special bluetooth ps3 signal. Then it will bond with the ps.

Any other signal will be rejected by the controller.
