Forums - Sony - Dual Shock 3 on your pc!

 

This is pretty awesome. I found this looking for a way to get the dualshock 3 working on your pc. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it supports both rumble and sixaxis. That's very cool ! Thought some of you might wanna check it out :P

--------------------------------

EDIT: replaced with post from neogaf.



Just posting this quickly. I searched but didn't see any mention of them yet.

Windows Drivers that support both Dual Shock 3 and SIXAXIS and there's also rumble support for the DS3.

Bluetooth wireless communication is not supported

A japanese coder has released Windows Drivers for the Dualshock 3 PS3 Controllers and they also support sixaxis too and even cooler is the fact they support rumble too:

There are 4 drivers in total

ds3drv_1.02 - Normal Driver
ds3drv_dx_1.02 - dx driver
SDDriverSetting - utility to tweak some settings
ForceFeedbackDriver - rumble driver, you need to install the first or second driver too

Installation:
download either the first or second driver, then open the device manager and search for the dualshock/sixaxis under hid devices, it should be called USB Human Interface Device
then choose update driver and select the driver that you just downloaded

Rumble
to install the rumble driver just right click on the .inf file and choose install
when you'll start a game you'll see a tray icon used to tweak rumble settings, the first menu option is to toggle rumble the second one will open a window where you can set the strength of the force feedback



the first value is the amplification ratio

the second one is the minimum value at which to start the small motors

the third and fourth one are the value of the large motors

the last value is probably the maximum strength

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

it doesn't work for me ;-(



What? , ive been using this for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, hold on imma post a better site.

Edit : there you go

1. Go Here
2. Download the file driver
3. Unpack the whole file (preferably to your desktop)
4. Install the file driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe).
5. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
6. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once.
7. Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it doesn't see it straight away.

Typically for most people, this will work. For me, it didn't and here is some helpful tips!

First, go into the control pannel, and open Game Controllers. Typically, the Sixaxis should be detected, but if you click on Properties,  you might try moving the analog stick(s) around and the little + sign doesn't move. WTH?!

Well, here's a simple fix.
1. Place the "ps3sixaxis_en" file into the Windows/System32 folder
2. Go to start and then click Run
3. Type in CMD and a prompt should pop up
4. in the Prompt, type "ps3sixaxis_en" and hit enter
5. (keep the Game Controllers menu open under properties) and push the PS button
***Might want to shut ps3 off to prevent it from starting up***
6. By now u should be able to see that you can move the + in any direction!



^^^^

Btw that works for both Sixaxis and Daulshock.
and its safe so it wont hurt your controller or your PC

here's the source.

Cool, but I don't play any pc games with the exception of RTS.

This is what I've been using since it came out. Works with the Sixaxis, Dualshock 3, and PS2-USB adapters (at least the Pelican one I have). Only problem though is that if you connect more than one controller, they're read as the same input. If anybody has any suggestions in this regard, I'd be really happy.
