Having trouble connecting ps3 controller to my pc...

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
First of all, I'm very sorry if this is in the wrong section.

All I'm trying to achieve here is to be able to play a couple games on the computer using the ps3 controllers, however, please take note that they were bought from ebay

It says replacement ps3 controllers so I'm assuming I should be able to connect it like all the guides from google. I tried using the MotionJoy way but I can't even seem to get it recognized by the computer. When I first connected the 4 lights just started blinking, windows didn't install any drivers like the guides said it would.

After I loaded the driver...

481

I went to profiles, pressed enable and then vibration testing... No vibration. I went into game controller panel and at one point it was listed under controller but is now gone again, however I couldn't get any of the buttons on the controller to work (or joysticks).

After that I went back to Driver Manager and clicked on install all.

481

note where it says INFO: Installation did not occur because the hardware isn't currently present. thinking.gif

That's pretty much all I've tried so far. ive looked on youtube but non of those methods seemed to work for anyone

Can anyone help me please?

If it helps I want to play fifa12 and motogp using it .

How do I use it? I ran the ps3sixaxis_en then libusb and all that comes up is

DLL version: 0.1.10.1
Driver version: -1. -1. -1. -1

bus/device idVendor/idProduct

EDIT: I got it working on my brothers laptop fine. I did the same procedure on my rig and it doesn't even show its connected :/
