PS3 Sixaxis controller drivers for Vista 64 bit.

Recently new drivers have been released for 64 bit Vista and Windoes 7 systems that finally allow the use of the PS3's Sixaxis controller. Not only does the controller work, but the the drivers also support the Sixaxis motion tilt capabilities.

Tested it out on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
I was surprised when the motion controls worked.
I played some Mario Kart 64 in an N64 emulator with the motion controls, and worked amazingly, though still needs a bit more setup.

Hey, that's awesome, does the sixaxis work in exchange for anologue or D-Pad?

lilmetal6200d ago

I set it to the analogue stick, but you can set it to the D-Pad, or buttons, or whatever.

Just played another racing game with the motion controls, and it was near perfect.

Cajun Chicken6200d ago

Awesome, I'm going to try to get this working on my SNES emulator with Mario at some point. Quite like the idea by jumping by tilting the controller up.

iamtehpwn6200d ago

I've been looking for this for ages.

iamtehpwn6200d ago

much like the people in comments.

Running Windows Vista x64.

lilmetal6200d ago

Seems to be either hit and miss for the most part.
It worked for me right off the bat though.
What I did was uninstall the old drivers I had, then followed the directions.
I didn't restart until I enabled test mode via DSEO.
Then went to test it, and it was all good.

AWESOME!! I got a "backup" copy of some post apocalyptic game with horrible animations, and low to none support for ps3 owners, and I want to play it for free :D. I want to finish Gears of War too, I bought it before to get my ps3 and I left it unfinished. Nice.

lilmetal6199d ago

I don't have a DualShock 3 controller to test that.

kingOVsticks6200d ago

KKanjiAnkh6200d ago

LMFAO man, I lou youtubin Mugen, Ronald McDonald FTW "Hambuga."

Allowen6200d ago

I gave up a long time ago to try to use my DS3 and normal sixxaxis on my PC, It is so complicated ....

I ended buying a cheap wired xbox360 controler and wow ! Every game just accept it np and I got used to it now that I am preffering it more over the Sony's control.

Amplitude6199d ago (Edited 6199d ago )

I remember needing to play Bioshock with that POS uncomfortable wired 360 controller. I seriously don't get how people like it better than the Dualshocks.
Of course, by the time i beat Bioshock i was pretty much used to it. No doubt about it though, that is by far one of the worst controllers i have ever played a game with.

<EDIT: I meant to reply to menoyou... woops. Whatever though>

Ju6199d ago

I did the same. It's not that I like the 360 controller better (I just hate to use triggers to fire), but it just works out of the box in most cases. Most games recognize the 360 controller right away and change their behavior, while with a standard pad (and that is what the Sixaxis becomes) is always tricky to configure and map buttons. I bought a MadCatz 360 clone controller for $24. Its all good now.

If those Sixaxis drivers will start emulating the 360 controller and add motion sensing and allow you to swat L/R1<>L/R2 (trigger and shoulder), and games would see it as a 360 game pad, that would be awesome.

menoyou6200d ago

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I don't have to use that crappy 360 controller anymore, praise the heavens.

trancefreak6200d ago

Ive been using the wireless 360 controller on my pc and Ive been loving it. Almost all games recognize the controller by default which is nice. I would prefer to use the ps3 remote because im more accustomed to it personally though.

ShinFuYux6199d ago

Now I can play some fighting games without that crappy wired 360 controller.

The directional Pad buttons are horrible with the 360 controllers. But that's different with the PS3 DS3 controller.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing1d 15h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster921d 16h ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit1d 16h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing1d 15h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 13h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 13h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
