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

[grundle]

same problem. I dont think the controler is compatible because there are no tests that register.

use the one from the japinese site works perfectly

yes, we will like to know the link to that site please
are you talking about connecting the Sixaxis to PC via BT?

After reading all 20+ pages, again, I know at which drivers you are referring. Post 18, am I right? If so, may I ask you something? Do you READ before you reply?
That "japanese" driver does NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT make Bluetooth working. Thanks for giving people false hope.

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!

This is the one thing that did work for me. I tried every solution up to this point.

Also please note that if you run ps3sixaxis_en.exe from the command prompt its easier to see the "found PLAYSTATION(R)3 SIXAXIS controller" message.

good job dude.

the siaxis work perfectly in ect. PES6
you have to configurate it in Settings before entering any game.
in some games like NHL 07, the sixaxis goes DOWN and you cant do anything. Its Anoyng but if you think a bit you would understand that the USB drivers are not a official Sony drivers so yes, in some games the Sixaxis is useful :/
