Thread: PS3 SixAxis Controller PC Driver

Here's what you need to use a PS3 controller on PC. The motion sensor is not yet supported, but I'm sure it will eventually work. This works with ePSXe 1.7.0, PC games and Bootcamp on Mac, you'll have to experiment to use it with something else.

Code:

1.) Extract the archive in a folder
2.) Double click on "libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1", and run through the installation process.
3.) Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC via your USB cable.
4.) Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once. A black command prompt window will appear for a couple seconds. This is what is meant to happen as it is activating the new driver.
5.) When the window closes, press and hold the PS button on the Sixaxis controller for about 5 seconds.


If you want to see if the controller is being detected:

1. Go to Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Game Controllers.
2. Select the Playstation 3 controller and choose Properties. A dialog window will appear.
3. Move both the analog sticks and press the buttons. The cursor and bars will move in the Axis section and the numbers in the Buttons area will light up.
4. If output is displayed, the controller is properly detected and working fine.

Thank you for this!!

How would a PC app that allows windows to detect your ps3 controller make a ps3 stop being able to use it?

It's the same as asking "If I play a DVD in my PC will my DVD player still be able to play it afterwards?"

Ok I get it i was curious because i thought it could just mess up the bluetooth signals that the controller sends because after all this isnt an "official" program.

BTW Do you have to keep the cable plugged in?

I'm not sure what you mean, but you only need to have it plugged in when you use it...
