The last time i tried -which was in ubuntu gusty 64bit- it worked (out of the box).

wow this is great! If it really works. I haven't gotten it to work because:

libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe is broken

Can someone replace the download?

Ahhh, finally!

I managed to get the PS3 controller working. It was a bit tricky, but this is what I did:

I originally installed a different version of libusb than the suggested one: 0.1.10.1

Each time I would uninstall and reinstall, it would keep the newer drivers. So what I ended up doing is:

1. uninstalling libusb
2. manually deleting the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\libusb0.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\libusb0.sys

3. installing libusb 0.1.10.1 from here.
4. let the test application run after installation, and make sure the DLL and Driver Version is 0.1.10.1
5. Plug in your PS3 controller
6. Run the ps3sixaxis_en.exe program
7. Press the PS3 button on the controller.
8. Repeat step 6-7 till the ps3sixaxis_en.exe says "found PLAYSTATION(R)3 SIXAXIS controller", at which point the controller should work in Control Panel -> Game Controllers -> PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller -> Test

Hope this helps those that are banging their heads like I was!

I've been on it all afternoon, but this is what made it work for me in the end.

THANXTHANXTHANX!!! XD

I got it working by googling for the broken files.

Files get corrupt and fragmented if they're used a lot. It happens.

Admins of this (great) site: Please replace the download included in this thread.
