The ultimate driver for PS3 pads!

I couldn't get this to work when connected through the usb cable with W7 X64 RC.

You legend; I've been trying to get mine working for ages

Cool will give this a go later

still cant get it to work after uninstalling and trying again, windows picks up the pad in device manager but says there is no driver or it can't load. pad no longer charges from the pc either.

edit; it appears to not work on vista x64 sp2 but sp1 is fine.

Mine picks up the controller in the Game Controllers menu in Control Panel, just as it happens in the video. However, it isn't recognized at all in any games; I've tried GTA4, Oblivion and Crysis with it, and none of them even notice that there's a controller plugged in.

Any ideas?

Ohhhh nice! I will buy a wireless PS3 pad this week methinks

I'll also need a new Dlink stand to stand the controller like the XBOX360 one.

Will be good to playw ith both in SF4 as I have modded the 360 dpad.

I guess some games just naturally work better with PS3 pad though especially being Bluetooth.

You're probably right...but I've got it plugged in via USB, and it shows up normally in Control Panel, so not too sure what the problem could be...especially each of the three games I mentioned are designed to work with a gamepad.

Anyone else got it working in-game?

Sweet hopfully I can get this working with vista/win7 64, though saying that I got my ps1/2 usb thingy back the other day.

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.

How good does this work?

dekez · 4 Jul 2009 at 17:01

Got it working with usb, tried playing left 4 dead to test, it works but the right analogue is swapped around with the buttons and I can't work out how to change it.

Has anyone got this working via bluetooth yet ?
