Is there anyway to reassign the buttons? For example, I'm in the controller properties test tab and I hit Triangle, it shows as button 13, Circle button 14, X button 15, Square button 16. Is there anyway to change it so when I press them they're recognized as buttons 7, 8, 9 and 10 instead?

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.

This is what I did to make it work. I don't do this now cause its much more simple to do now that I know how.

Once you get it going, every time you plug it in, just run ps3sixaxis_en and hit the ps button.

Hope that helped, and good luck getting it to work.

Where do I download the "libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1" file?

Can someone email the unpacked files, please?
I am having trouble unpacking.

I would be glad if anyone send the files!

Now we just need a program that allows for more than one controller to be used with a better interface rather than a DOS window that opens then closes right away.

Use a program called Winrar to unpack it. Just google it.

If that doesn't work then you could try 7zip or winzip. I think 7zip is free and winzip isn't.

Does this work in Windows Vista?

If so I'm gonna go out and by me a PS3 controller just for use on the PC!
It beats the heck out of my modified Xbox (original) controller(I patched the wires with a usb cord and use the XBCD 1.07 drivers which don't work in Vista BTW)
