PS3 Remote Application
This application allows the user the official Sony Playstation 3 BluRay Bluetooth remote control in Vista Media Center to control the interface like any other remote, but can also be configured to work with pretty much any program! Although it was not specially built just for Vista Media Center, it comes supplied with the Vista Media Center key-press settings file, so it is ready to use.
Current Functionality:
The application is still in the BETA phase, but is functional and it is likely that it will work fine for you, but if you do experience any crashes, please let me know. Here are some of the features that are in the current release:
* Works on both 32-Bit (x86) and 64-Bit (x64) Windows operating systems. (XP & Vista currently supported)
* SMS Text input from the numeral buttons. User can toggle this on & off.
* Runs in the tray (no windows apart from when you open the configuration section).
* Configuration section - avaialable from the tray menu!
* Option to repeat action if remote button is held.
Current Limitations:
Here are the limitations that I can think of. If you can think of any others, please let me know!
* The user has the pair the remote manually outside of the program.
Installation:
Here are some quick instructions on how to pair the remote with your computer. This only works if you are using the inbuilt Microsoft stack (bluetooth software)!

2. Go to Control Panel >> Bluetooth Devices and click "Add" a new Bluetooth Device
3. Hold down START + ENTER keys on the PS3 remote to begin the syncing process.
4. Check the box next to "My device is set up and ready to be found", then "Next"
