PS3 Contoller with PC Problems.

dogfeeder · 10th February 2011, 7:50 PM

I have been trying to get my PS3 controller to work with windows and i have been having some problems with the drivers that i downloaded to get it to work.
Without and drivers or modifications windows picked up the PS3 controller and started charging it. I looked at my gamepad's in the control panel and it showed the PS3 controller but none of the buttons where registering.

I have now downloaded the drivers for it to work but it still doesn't, The only thing it changed was that windows doesn't detect it at all now.

Does anyone know how to remove the drivers or reset the drivers somehow? When i first plugged it in windows detected it and installed drivers for it but now its not functioning at all.
This is the driver i used

That driver is now outdated. Use the motioninjoy driver:

It's very easy to use, and it can even mask the PS3 controller as a 360 controller, so it works with GFWL games. I use it myself, so I can provide extra assistance if you need it.

Ah thank you, i have got it working now but the controls are a little different and i am having trouble fixing it. I have made it so that the computer picks the PS3 controller up as a XBOX controller but the triggers and the buttons are the other way around on the PS3. I tried changing these in the options but it doesn't seem to save.

For use with PCSX2 I use libusb. The only issue I have is it takes a bit for the controller to be registered.
