Thank u for This nformation.

[...] Of course, there are ways to use your SIXAXIS controller on your PC, but here’s a way you can create a PS3 SIXAXIS style controller for PC from scratch. [...]

when i turn on NHL 07 it jsut keeps on going down meaning when i turn on the game and get to the main menu the selector thing (the highlighter) keeps on moving, is the sixaxis supposed to b used with games or jsut for a charge

The four lights just keep blinking, it doesn’t work for me, im running windows xp pro sp2 on an intel mac using bootcamp. ;-(

not working for me either.. the controller is recognized but when i’m in a game none of the buttons work.

Excellent! Worked a treat. Slight pain to get going, re-running the setup, disconnecting and reconnecting to get to get it work. Now playing Legs Starwars 2, the Original Trilogy using it, works fine. The Z axis, i.e. look around, wouldn’t work in Unreal Tournament, which I only ran to test it. Next step to see if the driver will work if the gamepad is connected using blue tooth.

ive tried it it works and its the best pc controller iv ever used

Nice, I can’t wait to get my hands on one…

to get it to play games and stuff, u might have to find a menu or something where you select to use a controller and u set what the controller does there. It works perfectly fine for me when i’m using Project 64 (n64 emulator)

do you think this coulb be used on a pocketpc PDA using bluetooth?

So…ummm…how do you do it? Where do you download the .bin file?

It worked for me the first day I tried this, but now Im having problems, my pc recognize it, but is not working on anything, even when I go to the games controlers on control panel, to configurate it, it doesnt work, is like is having trouble with the drivers.
I had a trouble with a mouse once when I was young, I accidentaly intalled a driver on top of the one that was already installed, and guess what happend, the mouse pointer only moved up, and down.
I reinstalled, erased the all folders, and reinstalled again, untalled the drivers, and installed them again, and nothing works. I have 2 of the same cables to connect the the controller to my pc, and none work, and it works fine on my ps3, so is definitively a driver problem or something.

well sorry for double post, but I fixed this shit.
stupid me.
you have to run the test shit, and then press the ps buttom, however it was a driver problem 4 me, so hope all you fools having problems with this shit can fix them.
good luck

I did work when i first installed the drivers. But every time i plug in the controller all 4 lights flash and the pc reads it but no buttons responed

It works, open the control panel on your pc. Click game controllers, select the ps3 controller on the list then click the properties button. Now run the usbdriver exe thingy and immediately press the ‘PS’ button. Then look over to the test window press a few buttons on your controller and you should see some lights light up. If it doesnt work repeat the process. If it still doesnt work make sure your PS3 is powered off with the off switch if it is near by, then reconnect the controller to the PS3 with the usb cable and repeat the steps.

This is the way I have gotten it to work for me pretty simple. I just had another question has anyone gotten the PS3 controller to work via Bluetooth? I have a Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter and I do a scan for devices and have been unable to the detect the PS3 controller.

Sorry made a typo on the above post it should read:

If it still doesnt work make sure your PS3 is powered off with the off switch if it is near by, then reconnect the controller to the *PC*with the usb cable and repeat the steps.

Will there be support for all the six axis so the pc responds to the controllers movement and what about bluetooth?!

I want to ajust the keys
but how ?

How do u unpack it/can i get help

Try using ALzip, it unzips almost anything including rar.

Can I use more than one controller at the same time?

HA ha ha, it made my comp not start, but its a beautiful blue screen.

I ran the libusb thing and got the ps3 controller working just fine. The only problem is that the driver caused my Zune mp3 player to not be recognized. It also would cause my mouse pointer to have the hard drive icon come up next to it every half a second.

So…if you have problems with usb devices after installing libusb, then uninstalled. I did this and my Zune was recognized again.

OK!!!! Got it!!!! This is how it works for me!

I’ve tried the thing Crustie said…. but nothing still.
So I did Crustie’s thing once more (still nothin)…. and then ran Mame, All of a sudden the lights in the “game controller menu” started workin to each button i pressed!
I guess the controller kicks in after a certain program runs… that somehow… activate it… somehow???
I’m lost as to why it does this but it works now… try it with some other emulators and such to see if it kicks that damn controller in the face to make it wake up.

Ok, it works in vista, Plug it in, run the ps3sixaxis program, press the “PS” Button, and play.

So what exactly does this do?

Is it a mouse or do you use it with an emulator.

Anyone make any progress with the bluetooth use yet? I have the ps3 working through the usb cable, by using the above method. But I to have a standard style bluetooth usb dongle, and when I scan for devices, it never finds the ps3 controller.. Or it will just stay on “searching for devices” until I stop it.
Anyone else have any luck getting the controller to work wireless on the pc?

can i use the controller on windows vista if i download this program?

Yea I’m using Vista right now and it works great. Really awesome to use with PlayStation 1 emulators!

Make sure your PS3 is turned off. Turn the switch in the back off because the PS3 will turn on when u hit the PS Button and it will automatically use bluetooth to control the PS3 and not your computer. Have fun.

Hey i just had loads of trouble getting this to work and when i finally did, i realized what i was doing wrong. when you download libusb win32 make sure to get the 1.10.1 and not the 1.12.1! this only worked for me with the 1.10 and i have yet to see that warning so im just letting you guys know

oh thanks for the input!

Are there any risks as far as messing up my pc?

Hey guys i have vista 64bit.. will it work on that ?

Just try it and see instead of asking if it will work.

Hey, this works really great. I have to plug in the control, click the exe file, and then click the PS button twice. I have Windows Vista 32 bit edition. However, it messes up my systsme. When i restarted, I could not boot past the windows startup screen, nor get into safe mode, and had to use other methods to boot and restore my PC. so i recommend uninstalling before rebooting. Its great functionality but with some consequences!!!

Will this work with every ps3 controller or only the stock six axis controller?

this doesnt seem to work with me. the LibUSB driver wont recognise any of my controllers when I install it and when I take it off onli then will it recognise them. I can see the PS3 controller but when I go to use it the buttons dont work. Am I doing anything wrong?? I am running windows vista

Doesn’t work for me
I don’t think the ps3sixaxis_en.exe runs correctly. I run it and the command prompt flashes on my screen for a split second, then nothing.

When I plug my controller in, it flashes and pressing the PS button does nothing. No buttons register

i have folowed every 1’s advise i have version 1.10.1
i have my controler in all the lights flash
i run my tester program and the controlor thingy in control panle
but the lights are still flashing
