The ultimate driver for PS3 pads!

[asim18]

After hours of failed attempts with manually installing drivers I stumbled on this website: http://www.motioninjoy.com/download-index-1.html

The drivers have support for motion sensing, vibration and everything works perfectly including the L2 and R2 triggers! It also works with both USB and Bluetooth!

Just been playing some street fighter on snes9x, bloody awesome, much better than the X360 dpad. Cant wait for SF4 now!

I have yet to test the motion sensing in game, but you can see it working well in the driver settings. Cant wait to test it with FSX when I get my 4890XT tomorrow!

You need to disable driver signing enforcement for 64bit.

You can do this manually by pressing F8 at bootup.

Or to do this automatically, get ReadyDriverPlus. This automates the F8 process for you and adds just 2-4 seconds to your boot time.

If you want to use ReeadyDriverPlus on Windows 7, follow these steps, it worked perfectly for me:

ReadyDriverPlus 0xc000000f error on boot - Windows7
Windows 7 RC1 installs a hidden 200mb partition purely for booting the OS. ReadyDriverPlus needs to be installed there. This is tricky and I'll add screenshots later, but here is how you do it:
Start Menu -> Right click Computer (or My Computer) and select Manage. You'll now be at Computer Management screen
Click Disk Management
There will be a blank 200mb drive (partition) without a letter attached (or maybe it does have a letter, i think i removed it so it didnt show in windows). This is where ReadyDriverPlus needs be be installed.
Because it doesnt have a drive letter, we need to assign it one, this is easy.
Right click the blank drive. Click "Change Drive Letters and Paths..."
Click "Add"
THen choose a letter beside Assign a new drive letter or path for 200Mb NTFS Simple Volume..... Click OK
Now install ReadyDriverPlus to this partition and you'll be good to go.
You can remove the drive letter but to uninstall ReadyDriverPlus, you'll need to assign the partition the letter again.

Have you got it working in any games? Did you do anything special?

What order to you do things in? Do you load the program, then plug in the controller, then load the game, or plug in the controller first?

Just load "DS3 Tool" and choose what config you want. Eg. dpad only, analogue only or motion sensor. Then go into control panel and find the game controllers properties. If the red sliders are moving then everything's ok, if not, press the PS button once, and they should start moving.

Then you can close all the properties windows and load up you game and it will be recognised as a controller in your game.

It's working great on all my emulators and I also tried the motion sensor with TC HAWX and its fine.

That's exactly what I've done, all the red sliders etc work but it doesn't get recognized in games

Have you tried setting it as the preferred input device?

It works great but all the buttons are set wrong in the PC version of Street Fighter 4, does anyone know the settings in SF4 to make it the same as the PS3 version as i'm completely used to that.

I'm using these settings with the "DPAD only (no analogue)" profile.
