PS3 Fanboy

Where there's a will there's a way. Believe me, someone will do it if they really want to.

Anyways, regarding the main topic... I don't get it? Mine just works when I plug it in. No extra downloading anything. Just plug it in and it shows up as a game controller. I'm running WinXP though, is this vid for 98 users or something?

you should be able to. the computer will see the Sixaxis like a regular PC Gamepad. so if CoD4 supports gamepads (what PC game doesnt) then you should be able to get it on.

if you plug your SIXAXIS into a PC windows automatically detects it , and it will begin charging right away . However if you push the PS button it powers up but doesn't connect to the PS3.hench it doesnt turn on if it's off. Keep in mind the SIXAXIS's bluetooth is automatically shut off if it's attached via the USB cable, even if your in the middle of playing and plug it into your PC via USB the bluetooth shuts down and you can't control your game .

Why would you map the PS button to a game in the first place? :|

Tim Parsons, that's not true. If, during PS3 play, I plug my SIXAXIS into my laptop (which is beside me, thus closer), it continues to function like normal.

Why doesn't anyone tell you people a simple fact:
UNPLUG THE PS3 OR TURN IT OFF FROM THE SWITCH IN THE BACK TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS!"

I did that first time I tried. I thought about posting it here but had already submitted my message, and I despise double-posting. Good point though, the PS3 doesn't have a switch for nothing.

I thought that pressing the PS button when trying to use it on the PC would turn on my PS3, but it didn't. I guess it really does turn off the Bluetooth when a cable is attached.

Yes I have VISTA 64, I JUST actually did this a week earlier...WOW FATE.

From my understanding, all I did was download the files to a random place( it doesn't matter where you put it) plugged in the USB cord into controller and computer, then ran the program...


One thing to note though, I GOT NO CONFIRMATION WHATSOEVER FROM THE CONTROL PANEL, other than it just kisting it. Do not expect to CONFIGURE anything there.(forget that part)

In fact I skipped that part...in fact I (doing this earlier then this video was posted) just unzipped all the files and ran the program. Then, when I was in a game I wanted to use it on, I assigned the buttons there. It will show up in the game as joystick_(1-20) or something like that. Other than that it is probably working, just try to assign and use the buttons in THE GAME itself.

Wow this is indeed old. Used it to play Oblivion on my PC but then the right analog didnt work so I had to download Pinnacle Game profiler.

Yeah had that awesome program. Oblivion never felt right with keyboard.
