Driving Force Pro - Doesnt seem to work on PS3?

JBod · 25 Dec 2008 at 13:14

Hi guys, bought my sister a Driving Force Pro from a nice chap on these forums. Plugged it into her PS3, it spins around (presumably setting itself up) but it doesnt seem to control anything on the menu etc, either main PS3 menu or in GT5 etc?

Anyone able to help me out?

Thanks!

no one able to help with this? Those people using a Driving Force Pro, did it just work for you? Or is it a controller ID thing?

I had the same problem with the game DIRT.
It did not work with my G25 wheel.
The answer was to go into the PS3 menu and disable the gamepad.

Thanks! I'll pass this on, hopefully this will fix it. Sounds like it could be a controller ID thing like I thought, considering this was made for a PS2.

Hi mate, sorry to hear you're having problems, as i said in my email it certainly does work as i use mine quite often. Couple of things you need to make sure of is that firstly the steering wheel is plugged into the first USB port and secondly that the controller is assigned as the secondary controller, not the primary (hold the PS button to change that). I also plug mine in before i switch on the PS3.

Hey Streeteh, I think it does work fine, it is just a question of controller ID (it was Xmas day at my parents so not prime place to be trying to sort this). Waiting to hear back from my sister.
