Anyone got the PS3 Controller to work in Vista 64 bit?

soul_child · 7 Jul 2008 at 10:04

I have googled for a solution but only found working drivers for 32bit but unfortunately im running vista ultimate 64?

Has anyone achieved success running it in vista 64?

It detects fine but most games don't support it. I ended up buying the 360 one

Presumably using the old adapters that came out a few years ago.

Do you guys mean that the PS3 wireless gamepad works with your PC.....(By Bluetooth am guessing)

I never even thought of trying this

It doesn't work in Vista x64 yet as there is no driver for it.

Vistax64 detects the ps3 controller when connected through the usb cable,but it doesn't recognise the buttons etc because the lack of a 64-bit driver.

I'm sure using a bluetooth 2.0 edr will be the same, but if anyone knows different then it will be appreciated to tell us

I had a program that worked on XP 32bit. Wasn't really a driver because i needed to run it each time i wanted to use the controller. This was via USB.

Bluetooth does work with 32-bit according to this forum though.

Can't belong until x64 drviers are out.

i have one for 32bit vista thats just an exe I have to run before I use it, I have mostly mouse driven games so not too much of a hassle. cant remeber the name of it for the life of me though.
