Update! October 2011: We finally have a working OFFLINE version of MotionInJoy drivers! Unlike the archive they have offered, this one gives you a fully functional controller in local mode. Simply extract this file into your program files/motionjoy/ds3 folder, and local mode will work!
Update! November 2, 2010: The latest version of the PS3 USB driver is digitally signed! That means you no longer have to disable signature enforcement, or anything like that. I have rewritten the instructions below (because it’s still not as simple as you’d think).
One of our more popular blog posts this year has been the guide on how to use a PS3 controller in Windows Vista. Many thousands of people found that guide to be helpful, but unfortunately 64-bit users were left in the dark. Furthermore, the driver only offered basic functionality, and many of the PS3 controller’s features were missing. This includes Bluetooth connectivity, SixAxis motion detection, and even the rumble feature of DualShock 3.
Today, there is a solution for all these problems, thanks to the folks at MotionInJoy, based in ShenZhen China, just across the border from me. They have created a driver that works on all versions of Windows, including XP, Vista, and even Windows 7. There are versions for 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x64. Their English is a little choppy, so figuring out the exact method of installing the drivers may be confusing for some. Here’s an illustrated guide on how to install Windows drivers for your Playstation 3 controller:
Download the drivers
You can download the latest version, 6.0003 from our servers here: 64-bit version, 32-bit version.
Plug in your PS3 Controller via USB
If you haven’t done this before, you will see that some basic Windows drivers are installed. This might lead you to believe that the controller will work right away, but unfortunately it won’t. You still need to complete this step before proceeding however.
Install the MotioninJoy Driver
Just run the .exe contained within the zip file, and the driver will be installed to your Program Files directory by default. From there, it will ask if you would like to create shortcuts, then offer to run the DS3 Tool.
During the installation, you will receive this dialog box:
Obviously, you will want to “trust” it to use the driver.
Run the DS3 Tool
Unfortunately, the USB driver is no longer included in the package. This means that you will be unable to load the full driver without an internet connection. There is the ability to load the DS3 Tool locally, which we’ll get to later.
To load the USB driver, you will need to be connected to the internet, and then run the DS3 Tool. You will be presented with the “Driver Manager” page:
(you can ignore step 3 in the software, apparently they have yet to update that part of it).
From there, simply click “Load”. The installation will take place, resulting in some new hardware added to the device manager:
At this point, the center light on your controller should not be blinking. This is a good indication that it is working. Tour controller will now be working, albeit in a limited manner (only the digital buttons and crosspad will work, with no rumble or analog controls).
Enable DualShock and Analog Controls
To run your controller to its full potential, you need to load an advanced script from within the driver software. Here is the most important part:
You need to exit out of the program after the first time, and start it again. If you do not do this, it will not detect your controller properly. It took me a while to figure this bug out ;)
Once you restart the DS3 Tool program, you will be brought to a page that looks like this:
Your controller should be listed under “Connected game controller(s):” If it isn’t, go back to the Driver Manager, and try loading the driver again. From here, simply select the Analog Gamepad 2 mode, and click “Enable”. You will immediately have full analog functionality, which can be verified in the Game Controller control panel:
MotionInJoy Local Mode (Offline Mode)
As mentioned above, there is supposed to be a local mode, for those who can’t constantly be connected to the internet. This is done by extracting this archive file into your /MotioninJoy/DS3/ directory. After that, you can start up the DS3 Tool, and select “Local” in the top toolbar. Unfortunately, this will only allow for basic digital controls – no analog or dualshock at all. I guess this is to keep people coming back to the tool to display ads while they enable more functionality.
Update! October 2011: We finally have a working OFFLINE version of MotionInJoy drivers! Unlike the archive they have offered, this one gives you a fully functional controller in local mode. Simply extract this file into your program files/motionjoy/ds3 folder, and local mode will work!
Bluetooth
Bluetooth support is still in its infancy – they need to overwrite your Bluetooth drivers, and therefore you will only be able to connect the PS3 controller to it. Also, not very many Bluetooth dongles are supported – I wanted to test it out with the integrated controller on the Intel DP55KG motherboard, but it did not work.
If you do have a compatible device, you still need to follow the directions above anyway. After that, you will go to the Bluetooth pairing page, and follow the directions there. It should be pretty straight forward, as long as you are aware of the caveats going in.
That’s about it! You can even enable XBOX 360 controller mode, for the games that natively support that controller (some games, such as Braid, will only support the XBOX 360 gamepad).
[...] There is a new PS3 Contoller Driver for Windows, and it is far superior to the one mentioned here. It has full support of SixAxis, DualShock, and Bluetooth, and there is even a 64-bit version! Check out our guide on how to use the PS3 controller in 64 bit Windows Vista and Windows 7. [...]
Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
I wouldn’t have written this guide if it didn’t work.
This guide is shit. It doesn’t work. Why would you write this? You like pretending this works to trick all the others?
Yeah, me and the thousands of others did this just to trick YOU into thinking that you’re not an idiot who doesn’t know how to follow instructions.
Ya he’s definitely an idiot, I did exactly what the instructions said, and I’m running it perfectly under Windows 64bit. It was very easy to setup, so you have to be a moron, or not know how to follow directions to screw up the setup.
well this works for the windows test but no games recognized the game pad!
any solutions for this??
I just downloaded the 64-bit drivers, do they work for both Windows vista x64 and Windows 7 x64? The download site doesn’t specify whether they work in Vista or Windows 7 or both.
They work for both
[...] you missed yesterday’s post, we have a guide on how to use the PS3 controller in all versions of Windows, both 32-bit and 64-bit. If you have been looking for a good gamepad to use in Windows, you finally [...]
I’ve tried it and it works great ^^
But here’s question : How do you make it work the second time (after unplug and reboot) ?
Unfortunately you’ll have to use F8 to boot up every time. This is a major security feature of 64-bit operating systems. There are methods to remove this protection, but it is very unsecure, and kind of a pain in the ass to do.
For those who are tied of having to select disable driver signature enforcement every time they want to use unsigned drivers on vista, theres one neat way to automate away this annoyance.
google citadel industries readydriver plus v1.1
Its a nice modification to the boot-loader which will choose disable signature enforcement for you, works with Vista SP2 no trouble, just keep in mind if you have dual boot setting it up may get a bit tricky.
I found it for use wither other unsigned drivers I wanted to often use with vista. It might be handy for some who want to use it with this PS3 controller guide.
From the Start button, run the “Install driver” for the appropriate connection method you’ll be using. Make sure to right click and “Run as administrator” or the driver will not install properly. Restart Windows again. AND PRESS F8 AGAIN ……….
So please add that?
Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider should fix the problem.. Just select the drivers it does not see as signed and use this program to fix them.
Tried installing it again and again.Followed the guide completely till the end, still does not seem to work here.Got vista 64 bit SP2. In response to Mr Niicos Q., U just have to select the “disable driver signature enforcement” everytime u do a reboot.
Well this is nice.. The controller isn’t even listed in the game controllers tab, even though it surely was before I went through the guide. Why exactly could this be ?
Ok apparently I had to disable the driver signature enforcement again on the 2nd reboot so it worked now. A question though, why does it register the L2 and R2 buttons as Z-rotation instead of them being button 5 and 6 ?
Since they are analog, they have to be read as an analog input. Just map the software however you need to.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, read the post maby 100 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
work fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tnx a lot for this post
yes and i am not a professor
It works.Thanks a lot.
I think that the other program (libusb) was far better because having to disable the stupid driver thingy everytime is a little annoying. And the controller doesn´t work in every game tought =(
It worked great with need for speed games but it doesn´t work on tomb raider legend.
Still this is a great start to make this controller work with 64 bit OS’s i hope it gets a lot better.
it doesnt work for me, I’m using windows vista 64 bit ultimate, and I did as the guide says, It doesn’t appears on the list and in device manager I can see motion driver issue it says that i could not be loaded because is corrupted or something is missing, code 39 something like that. and I did every step and disable the force drivers signature with every reset
I got it to work, however the right analog stick has no up/down axis assigned to it, so the right stick can only go left/right? any suggestions?
Disable analog triggers for now. The shoulder buttons will still work, but they will just be normal buttons. This is fine for 99% of the games out there anyway.
I tried to do disable the driver signature enforcement but I can’t enter to advanced boot options. Do i have to enable it? My lap just shows off the HP logo, list some Function options and star loading the OS, but no F8 :(
And i tried pressing the key like zillion times. But nothing happened. Well yes, something happened. Blue screen of death. I tought it was because the unsigned drivers, so I managed to enter Command Prompt and worked, Vista ran again. By the way, is 64-bits.
Any help?
Sounds like you’re just not getting the timing right.
I expected everything, less the fact it was a timing problem.
Well, anyway, thanks for this guide! My DS3 is now working and rockin!
By the way, I don’t know if this only happens to me, but every time I unplug the USB cable, my PS3 turns on. Maybe is because I’m in the same room and/or in the PS3 range.
Just to let you know people. If the above happens, be sure to turn the system off.
I have similiar problem with bigboss. Has anyone managed to make this work on Vista x64 SP2? After installing the usb-driver, reboot (F8 method or without) and running DS3 Tools as administrator it shows the device with question mark in Device Manager. Device status is “Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)”.
I think there is a problem with SP2, where the F8 method doesn’t work properly. Maybe do some Googling for digitally signed drivers in SP2 or something like that…
Hi, thanks for posting this guide up, I got my PS3 controller to work perfectly. I just have one question. If I don’t disable the driver signature enforcement when I wish not to plug in the controller to my computer, will my computer still run fine or will it crash because I didn’t disable the driver signature enforcement? In other words, will I have to disable the driver signature enforcement every time I boot my system, regardless of whether I plan on using the controller during that time or not? Thanks for your time.
You have to use F8 to boot every time you want to use your controller. Otherwise, boot normally.
I followed your instructions exactly and its still not working. The computer is picking up the device but not recognizing the inputs.
Is there another way to get a ps3 controller to work on vista 64 bit? Like libus driver for 64 bit or something?
i did everything and it shows up in the installed game controllers but when i go to properties and test, the controller does not respond to the test at all. : [
not sure whats up with that but if someone could help me out that would be great
Vista 64-bit
it doesnt work for me motionjoy usb game controller came out at game controller device but i cant calibrate it and it doesnt work when i try to use it in games but buttons show up its just dont work
A lot of people seem to have problems getting this to work with Vista SP2. Maybe there is an extra step that needs to be explored? I hope someone with Bluetooth on that type of system can confirm whether or not that works.
By the way, if you are having problems getting the controller to respond, even though the buttons show up in the “Game Controller Properties” window, try holding the “PS” button – it takes quite a while.
I tried holding the “PS” button for a while but still no response. when should i hold the PS button? maybe i’m doing that wrong..i dunno
Awesome. That was the missing step. Thanks ^^
I installed and had it locate the device and everything…it shows in the device boxes, but when I go to test, nothing works. When i go to calibrate, nothing moves. All 4 lights are flashing on the controller, so I’m not sure if it is even recognizing that its connected. Any ideas?
btw, i’m using Window 7 RC 7100 64-bit.
These drivers seems to have screwed with the drivers for my D-link wireless USB adapter. After installing the drivers the usb adapter is listed as a “PS3 RF pad” in Game Controllers, which it certainly wasn’t before (and as a result I no longer have a working internet connection on my desktop). Any idea what I can do to sort this out, or how I could remove all the motionjoy drivers at least?
Tried with vista 64 sp2 and a logitech bluetooth dongle. No go. USB doesn’t work, BT doesn’t work.
So, Pleeeeeze…. This error code 39, cannot load drivers.. any solutions.
Have tried everything i know to no avai!!!!
cheers.
vista 64 sp2
I’m having an issue with the DS3 tool. I am using Windows 7 64bit. starting in allow unsigned drivers mode and running as administrator. Program quits when I run the update. Any suggestions?
It works just fine, i had to surf to some other sites and did some reading but finally i got it right. U could use a program from ngohq.com to sign the drivers, that way u dont have to press f8 every damn time u restart your computer. nice guide though, thanx man
Thank you.
Confirmed this works perfectly with vista 64 bit ultamate sp2. I have full range of controller function, had an issue installing the driver, tho. It took me three tries to get it to work all as administrator. It might be a bit finicky but works!!
Got the driver installed as per the guide on Windows 7 RC, thanks. I’m a little confused when it comes to calibrating. Not sure what to select for Z Axis, X Rotation, Y Rotation, etc. Got a guide that explains this by any chance? This is the first gamepad I’ve used since my old Gravis Gamepad. :-)
after i booted up and selected the Disable driver signature enforcement i get a blue screen of death
and my entire computer driver list says all my drivers are missing
sound, network, and usb are all gone!
Works great!!! to stop the pesky F8 disable driver enforcement at bootup just use a proggy called Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and point it too C:\windows\system32\drivers\MijUfilt.sys. Make sure UAC is disabled and all drivers/progs are run as administrator.
DOOD. The guide worked awesome. All i had to do was TIME my f8 stroke, because this damn HP comp doesn’t show the menu right away. Anyway. THANKS A FREAKING LOT TO YOU GUYS. I’ve been looking for this drivers for about a week. Also… i should prolly go and thank the motionjoy guys uh? Those guys rock too. x)
Well I’m using windows Home Premium sp2 and it doesn’t work….. I have also tried the holding of the “PS” button and I still get no response. All that is happening is the 4 lights are flashing on the controller.
^ Im using Windows Vista home Premium
Its works with Vista Ultimate PS2, took some time to get it to work, i just kept trying things over and over and all the sudden it worked
Hi,
i got Win 7 but no Bluetooth, how can i install a PS3 Controller?
Tks for the help
this works just fine you guys just need to follow the directions and see.
The fact that unsigned dirvers by default will always be a security risk, you can but wonder why a driver with this kind of user demand is not open source.
That at least would set a few minds at rest with regards to the security breach of not enforcing signed drivers.
Apparently a lot of people think it’s a small matter to open a “hole” in the security like this.
Has anyone thought of security checking the driver?
Device drivers usually run in kernel mode on windows pc’s so it whould be no small matter if the deliverable actually contained malware.
I for one deem this risk unnesecary and wouldn’t dream of installing it.
Totally psyched about this gonna try it out tomorrow. For those who can be bothered manually signing the drivers could be a workaround for the F8 problem. There’s a tutorial on how to do so here:
http://www.minasi.com/newsletters/nws0903.htm
If you’re going to try this, when running the Win 32 SDK installer you can uncheck loads of stuff like documentation and reduce the size of the download from a few gig to <100MB if I remember rightly.
It took me a while to make it work on windows 7 64B.
This my log (Kinda) I hope it helps someone:
Run it first after the F8 boot, and I got the screen asking for the digital signature.
Run it again, after boot again, and installation worked, but controller wouldnt do a damn thing.
Boot again with the F8 thing, still didnt working, then I pressed the PS button for a while, maybe a minute, went to control panel, tried it again, and now it was responsive.
Now playing street fighter 4, and my left thumb hurts, so I decided to come back here, and say thanks.
It was a pain in the little hole, but it worked, so I think its worth it to spend some time with this…
Thanks again.
Vampiro…
Well guess what. Lib Usb is back. with this thing of motion joy there was games that didn´t work like Tomb raider Series. With Lib Usb everything is working. No need to disable that driver thingy every reboot. just plug in the controller,run sixasis64.exe, press PS button and run sixasis64.exe again.
Its amazing
Hey,
I can get my ps3 control to work fine on USB and im playing H.A.W.X and loving it, only think is i would like to use it with bluetooth. Have tried all the instructions in the program and on this guide but my 4 red lights just keep blinking and it never connects
I tried this and I can’t get my controller to work it in control panel it says its there but i have no control over the controller I don’t know what to do I tried this many times and yes I made sure that I did administrator and the f8 thing can anybody help me
Hey,
I have worked it out (im on vista). For those that are having the same trouble, follow the guide above. Make sure when ur control is connected to the pc that all the lights are flashing (this happens on mine), then go into the control panel and hardware and game controllers and verify that the controller is working and the buttons etc are working. Then open the DS3 Tool with the control still connected and working and on the left of DS3 side click pair, you should get a message saying that mac address pairing was successful. Then disconnect the controller from the usb and press the PS button and it should pair and the 1 light should light up (on mine when i disconnected the controller it automatically went into connecting). After this again go into the game controllers in control panel and verify that everything is working for the function set u selected in DS3 Tool.
HOPE THIS HELPS PEOPLE AND GET TO ENJOY THEIR WIRELESS CONTROLLER AS I DO
to turn off the signing security feature in windows 7 and others, use this:
gpedit.msc (start)
user config. -> admin templates -> system -> driver install. ->
Code signing for devices = turn this on and choose at the bottom for ‘Ignore’
that’s it, no hassle or so. but it’s a great risk to turn it off…
Wow, it works perfectly!
I used Windows 7 32 bit version, both USB and Bluetooth modes. Works fine!
BUT… when I user Bluetooth mode the SIXAXIS rotation goes crazy sometimes, the mapping ist not like when I use in USB mode, weird. And when I switch between USB/BT, the controller automatically connects to BT, not USB.
Anyway, THANK YOU for posting this and keep up the good work! Also thanks to the people who made this possible! :D
This product really does work, i have been using it on my vista 64bit, it works like a charm, no problems. I can use it on any of my emulators. if you have any questions, email me at
For those who are like me and decided to hold off on Vista, you can still use the USB driver (as Vista and Windows 7 are both based off the same 2003 kernels).
Install the software like normal. The controller won’t work yet, but this is the only way to extract the drivers. Locate the drivers folder C:\Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\drivers (changing the drive letter as needed) and download and extract the modified inf file overwriting your old one in the drivers folder. You can save your old file but it won’t work anyway.
http://linuxmade.com/ps3_inf.zip
Get to your device manager (Right click My Computer–>Properties–>Hardware–>Device Manager) and expand the Human Interface Devices tree.
If you’re like me you’ll have to do some hunting now. Look at the properties of each device labeled “USB Human Interface Device” at the details tab. You’re looking for the device that has
USB\VID_045C&PID_0268
in the value box under the drop down list. You can see the value without sorting through each option in the drop down. You might be temped to use the HID-compliant game controller, but Windows will kindly let you know that you’re not following directions.
Once you locate this hardware, go back to your General tab and click “Update Driver.” Choose to locate the driver manually and choose “Have Disk.” Navigate to your MotioninJoy driver directory where we extracted the inf file. Choose the file named MijUfilt.inf. You will now be given two options to choose from; one with a strange name and the other that is named properly. They both point to the same file so your choice doesn’t matter. You’ll get a warning about unsigned drivers that you can ignore, and your device will now install.
Verify that the DS3 Tool can see your controller (it’ll list the controller in the option menu.) If your controller is found, reboot your machine so the driver will take affect. IT WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU REBOOT!
Once your machine is back up and running, test the controller in the Gamepad control panel. You may have to press the giant “P” button in the center of the controller before the buttons will work. (I did)
All functions work as expected with the exception of the “Dial” control; which I’m not sure what that does anyway. I didn’t test out the vibration function so I can’t offer any guarantee that it’ll work.
Enjoy your controller on your Windows XP 64 bit machine and avoid the “F8″ “Run as Administrator” crap.
He guys,any chance to get this driver working under Vists 64 bit Service Pack 2 ? I just followed your guide step by step but ist always ends up with error code 39. It would be great if you fix this problem in a new driver version. greetz form Germany
question.
Has anyone of you gotten R3 and L3 analog (not the pressbuttons) working?
I got it to work just fine in XP x64. You have to enable them in the driver window. Also, the original software has a built in update that seemed to fix a lot of compatibility problems.
If you could share with me how you got the dualshock 3 to work in XP Pro X64 i would be most grateful. I have tried every step here, and any/all drivers i can find, but no go. Windows recognizes it when i plug it in, but it is not responsive, and will not calibrate. [email protected] thx!
It installed fine on XP (32 bit) and it works fine under game controllers in control panel. When I start a game, it does not recognise the controller. How do I get it to actually work with games, not just Windows?
@Michael: The analog sticks works for me in both PCSX2 and in the Windows control panel thingie.
I got up to: Plug in your Playstation 3 controller. If you haven’t done this before, you will see that some basic Windows drivers are installed. This might lead you to believe that the controller will work right away, but unfortunately it won’t.
Then the next step baffled me completely: From the Start button, run the “Install driver” for the appropriate connection method you’ll be using. Make sure to right click and “Run as administrator” or the driver will not install properly. Restart Windows again.
What am I supposed to do? I go onto the start menu and then I have no idea. I went onto the motionjoything to have a look. I’m totally lost.
Thanks, Joe
so has any one tried this on vista x64?
hey joe heres how i got it working: I think what he means is find the motionjoy folder in your start menu under programs and click install usb drivers, thats what i did but yea you gotta do it in admin mode and if it doesnt work the first time, try again, cause i did installed it twice, the first one failed, the second one worked. Then just restart, F8 go into unsigned mode again, fire up d3tool choose settings and enable and bingo bango you’re all set, hope that helps.
ok i id every thing it said and it didnt work i tried it 4 more times and still never work.
i run vista ultimate x64
Did you press the PS button while in the game controller screen? cause i thought it wasnt working when that happened.
Anyone got it working on vista 64 SP2? from other site and forum, it seem like the driver doesnt work on Vista 64 SP2 (code 39). For those who got it workin on vista 64, can u state what SP U have? cheers.
If I get this driver, does it mess withmy current Nvidia drivers? or its completely seperate? Yes… Im computer alliterate, so if you could help me, thatd be great
I don’t know about you but I’ve to restart windows every time to disable driver signature enforcement, that turns me off and I haven’t even started the game.
The developers need to work around windows signature system, to make it more desirable to use, otherwise is very stable and has almost all features of the PS3 are mapped into the vista_64 driver.
I would however recommend to the guys who made it to get rid of the .net gamepad setup application: “DS3 Tool”, and create something a little more pleasant to use like a systray easy access icon or even better a control panel icon.
Otherwise this is a work in progress, a very usable driver for vista_x64 which has his pros and cons when it comes to alpha development (ver 0.200) software, keep an eye on their blog.
Hi Carl,
Thanks for your post. Are there drivers for the bluetooth PS3 remote control in order to make it work with windows media center?
Thanks,
Jean
Followed directions to the tee. I would say my computer exp is high to very high. I actually have Code Signing for Drivers on “Ignore” in LGP editor. Still doesn’t see the controller in Vista x64 SP2…..lame
hey i have to say this i my 5th attempt to get my PS3 controller to work on my PC. im using windows vista 32 ultimate. ive tryed all the other downloads the lib whatever and then the newer versions of that as well. ive followed every step of ever forum and of ever body else little in puts at the bottom. i have the first reless of teh PS3 and controls if that has anything to do with. i am at a loss on what else to do. before i got this new download the one listed on this site the controller would should under the game control in the control planel as a PS3 controller. now it shows up as motioninjoy usb but i can not test it or do anything with it. the program motioninjoy dose not see that i even have a controller connected. what am i missing or am i that lucky guy that has a bum version of vista and or PS3 controllers. all my windows is up to date. i cant stress enough how closely i followed these instructions. i also made sure that i uninstalled all other things that involed the PS3 controller each time i tryed a new program
Works fine on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit but gives code 39 error on Vista 64-bit SP2
Help?
Im pressing F8 and can get to Safe Mode screen but there is no Disable Driver Signature… option. What do i need to do?
Ty for answers.
It’s not working for me. I’m using the 32 bit version in Vista. When I try to run the Install USB driver program, it keeps giving me an error that it can’t find a text file: Mijlog.txt
hey i did the install for this correctly 3 or 4 times with both drivers……it seems to work properly but the d3 program says no controller connected i’v tried holding the button n every thing im running vista x 86 i belive so thats equal to 32 right plz somebody help contact me at myspace.com/spaidspace
hey i have to say this i my 5th attempt to get my PS3 controller to work on my PC. im using windows vista 32 ultimate. ive tryed all the other downloads the lib whatever and then the newer versions of that as well. ive followed every step of ever forum and of ever body else little in puts at the bottom. i have the first reless of teh PS3 and controls if that has anything to do with. i am at a loss on what else to do. before i got this new download the one listed on this site the controller would should under the game control in the control planel as a PS3 controller. now it shows up as motioninjoy usb but i can not test it or do anything with it. the program motioninjoy dose not see that i even have a controller connected. what am i missing or am i that lucky guy that has a bum version of vista and or PS3 controllers. all my windows is up to date. i cant stress enough how closely i followed these instructions. i also made sure that i uninstalled all other things that involed the PS3 controller each time i tryed a new program
this is my same problem but i run vista x86
I got it to work, but when i go to control panel and try to calibrate it i can not do anything with the analog buttons, as in if i want to push the l3 up to walk it wont.
@koray, same thing here i press F8 and i don’t get that screen. I got options instead how to boot up.
Man, I love U for this!!!
BTW, for U how, can get this, driver sing, whatever, try tapping TAB and the, when windows diagnostic opens, push F8, it should open new menu, with this driver option. It worked for me!!!
thanks for the guide. i did use f8, ran as admin, but i still got that “ms needs a signed driver”
i defyed it and tried anyway..and the device came up in a keyboard icon but still saying ps3 controller. and guess what, it worked. BUT, it didnt work with the ps3 usb cable. then it came up as a ps3 controller icon, but i didnt get any control. maybe this will help for some, i dunno. strange happenings, im happy :)
How do i do the f8 part on a dell laptop.. the F8 doesnt work on boot up
Here is how you fix this problem, what you need to do is pry open your wallets you cheap skates and buy a 20 buck ps2 controller to pc converter from ebay, problem solved, no bs f8 no bs driver that dont work, no need for any of that rubbish.
Havik, you’re an idiot. The whole point of this is to have a wireless setup dumbass. Die in a fire.
works like a charm :) i just followed the instructions and that is it :D thank you
Works great in Win7Ultimate 64bit. Cheers.
There has to be a better way than booting into Safe Mode every time I want to use it though! Damn microsoft and their greed!
I did everything it said. rebooted 3 times and it still isn’t registering. i removed the program from my computer but now whenever i plug in the “1″ LED stays on the controller the whole time and all my controllers come up as “motioninjoy virtual game controller” any ideas on how to reverse this? also I was wondering how to get the old sixaxis driver. that worked just fine.
Thank you soo much …… it works like a charm on my Windows7 x64bit =) ……..
I don’t know why rest of the people are not able to do it…. its soo easy .. or maybe they don’t understand how to do it… :-/
I run Windows 7 and this did not work for me, up to the point of reinstalling it 3 times. I couldn’t even say how many times I restarted. I did everything right.
Can someone PLEASE help me find a PS3 driver that will work on Windows 7?
I miss XP, didn’t have a single problem installing my PS3 controller to it.
Running Windows 7 x32 – Works like a charm! Thank you kindly for this.
hi all , i have this working and all:
BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHY I CANT SEE IT IN GAME LIKE FIFA10 PLZ HELP!
when i press buttons or anything it doesent do anything ,and in controls theres no controller.
Thanks very much!! Great post, worked nicely! Thanks!
ok i did everything rite and everything is going good so far but when i ran the ds3 tool i dont know what to select… i have a regular ps3 controller can anyone help me
Hiya folks,
I would really appreciate some advice! I have windows 7 ultimate. I installed as per the instructions… when I click on set up usb controller I can see the controller “motion in joy” but I hav eno control over it.
Another problem is that when I click the DS3 tool… it just shuts off. I’ve never actually SEEN it, y’know? it’s always auto-turned off. wtf?
Hi,
i have the same problem as serzantas
It worked for me as described in the procedure.
I can see it in the DS3tool and also in the device manager.
I can calibrate it and it recognises it..
However, when trying it in Fifa2010 it doesn’t recognise it…
Any solution ?
Cheers,
levian71
This actually works. I’m quite surprised. The only problem is that after the controller is unplugged from the computer it automatically connects with the PS3 as the 1st player even though there may be already someone assigned that player. Simple fix just to plug it into PS3 and it should correct itself.
Just one thing I noticed. If you disable the signature driver as described in the UPDATE, using bcdedit.exe, you’ll get a bluescreen error when unplugging the controller, at least I get this error everytime. I don’t know why, but if I disable it at boot time, using F8, then I don’t get this error.
something is wrong, I’m working on Windows7 64x
when my pc boots up, the F8 key won’t open the menu suggested. it will open some weird red menu….
I tried using the other method running the bcdedit but no luck.. it keeps telling me
“C:\User\User\bcdedite.exe is not a valid Win32 application”
I’m having truble working my PS3DS and my Xbox360 controller via charge kit.
this sux :(
If these drivers aren’t working for you yet, you may not have run the “USB Driver Installation” properly yet. I’ll add a screenshot tomorrow, so it’s more clear.
Works like a charm on Win 7 ultimate x64. I recieved the “Windows Requires A Digitally Signed Driver” message, but it all still worked.
:)
Help? I try to install drivers and get this.
ERROR: failed with error code 0×57
hi all , i have this working and all:
BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHY I CANT SEE IT IN GAME LIKE FIFA10 PLZ HELP!
when i press buttons or anything it doesent do anything ,and in controls theres no controll
WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHY!Instead of write o its working…
if u thing that u will be able to play games with it think again U WONT!unless you only need for something like pcsx2
try remapping the controls…the game probably allows you to change the controls, so select the ones you want to replace and press the buttons/move the analog stick to map it to that button.
Did everything up der and jus lyk serzantas, i cant play fifa 10 NFS shift aswell…wtf!!!…how do i actually play games with it?
Has there been a driver update for XP? I have had one for awhile but it will not work for long before failing mid-game.
why does everyone continually agnore peoples questions about the controller not working when playing games like fifa10? it makes no sense, its a question relating directly to the sole purpose of setting up the controller.
I have the same problem with crysis, my controller works perfectly thanks to the great walkthrough, yet crysis seems to not recognise it as a gamepad, whereas need for speed most wanted does it automatically.
any ideas? would be much appreciated.
Try doing a Google. Read this.
I have found something , it doesent detect as gamepad but it makes work like keyboard its like that the buttons… are on gamepad its somehow connected to keyboard, anyway program is called Xpadder it doesent work on all games!!!it doesent work on fifa 10 or crysis, it works on Dirt 2 so probably would work with shift… , it also works with Css :D but not fully :( you cant make the pointer move :(.
I did everything right but i couldn’t get my controller connected to ds3 tool. I tested to change usb port and now it works perfectly :) I’m on Windows 7 x64 btw.
Last post i said that using xpadder you can only play some games , which is not!!!
I didnt know that you can change the button to any letter that is on keyboard or mouse , which means you can play any game with ps3 controller EVEN SHOOTERS!!!
so after you do all this with motionjoy get xpadder and you will be able to play any game :)

I keep getting this, no matter how many times I reinstall this. Anyone find a fix for this at all, yet?
plug in your ds3 before installing driver
Sorry for the double post, but I fixed my problem and figured I should share it.
The reason it wasn’t working was because I tried using a USB Controller Hub with my PS3 controller since it has USB slots along with the PS2/GC/XBOX slots. Well, somehow, it installed some driver and only assigned it to the hub, rather than it’s own. I uninstalled the drivers for my hub and everything to do with controllers, and reinstalled both seperately and it finally worked. So, hopefully that fixes some of you guys.
Hey I had the same problem you did, how do I fix it? can you give a bit more detailed instruction because im not thatgreat with computers, thanks!
OMG! How simple was that , about a 2 minute job.
Just follow the instructions. Works great with FIFA,HAWX, SHIFT everything!
Thanks!
Great guide btw
Does everyone get the watermark on the bottom right? It seems it started when i typed in the 2 commands into CMD. Is there a way to reverse the commands to get rid of the watermark?
You can remove the watermark by following these instructions. I like to leave it on, so I know whether driver signature is on or not :)
Alternatively, you can download Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider:
http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo
This will allow you to enable Test Mode, remove the watermarks AS WELL AS SIGN YOUR OWN DRIVER.
The driver from MotionInJoy (.dll file/s) can be signed. This method does not require you to have to press F8 on every boot. :)
Sweet, this is just what I needed. It took some trial and error but now I can load my SIXAXIS without having to press F8 on startup and without the watermark.
“From the Start button, run the “Install driver” for the appropriate connection method you’ll be using. Make sure to right click and “Run as administrator” or the driver will not install properly. Restart Windows again.”
this is confusing me.
what drivers are you talking about and where in the start button?
its confusing me too.
can anyone clear this up please?
it’s the “install motioninjoy driver” thing. It doesn’t work if you don’t run as admin…
I still don’t get this. It’s jiberish. If it means what wayrunner says it does, we already did that three steps ago.
anyone found a way to get it to work in vista 64 service pack 2? I can’t find a way to get past the Code 39. It’s really getting annoying, and I can’t find any other decent driver.
what do you mean by install driver from start im stuck there
“install driver from start” means go to the folder called “MotioninJoy” in your start menu and run “Install MotioninJoy driver” as administrator.
I have the controller working perfectly through usb but the DS3 tool cannot see my bluetooth adapter in order to pair up. Any Ideas guys?
Got the bluetooth to detect but still cannot pair the controller with it. All of the lights just flash.
it reads on the tool “no controller connected!!!”
plz help i woke up the controller what else am i to do im at a loss
When I click the DS3 tool it instantly says “DS3_Tool has stopped working”
As soon as I try to run DS3 a window pops up that says “DS3_Tool has stopped working” Is this happening to anyone else?
Hi thanks works a treat in windows 7
but you do not have to keep restarting your computer in windows7 you can install it from start to finish without restarting it once if you using windows 7
Ok, i have tried to install by doing everything down to the last letter but the motion joy tool does not show that my controller is connected and when i run the game controller tool it says playstation 3 pad not motionjoy, anyone know why?
i’m going to have to politely ask you not to ignore this post as you all have done previously to two other peoples post’s that are asking the same thing, thanks
Haha, you guys saying “use xpadder its so much better” are total n00bs who dont even read an article before commenting, this tool was designed for vista 64 and win 7 64 because the people who use these os cant get there ps3 pads to connect through the old libusb0.dll drivers which means XPADDER WONT RECOGNIZE THE PAD EITHER other wise you could use any program like xpadder or pinnicle profiler.
Now my problem is when i run the install drivers under administrator i get the output txt file which give this output:
INFO:MotioninJoy Driver install log
INFO: Driver install Enter
ERROR: argc < 2
and the DS3_tool doesn't recognize the that i have a controller plugged in while the Game controllers tool for windows says i have a PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller plugged in thanks for reading
Hi guys, first of all thanks carl for this how to, and thanks to the guys at motioninjoy for these drivers they worked fine.
Now i have to say that Dom is right, you see Xpadder and pinnical profiler wont work if your running on a 64 bit system without these drivers, what you have to understand is that these “drivers” tell the “computer” what the pad is, how many buttons there are, where the buttons are and the extra input for example “DUAL SHOCK” or “MOTION SENSORS” and if you were to take a look at xpadder and pinnacle you would see that these “programs” only bind a certain “Keystroke” to a button for example, you could bind the key “W” on your keyboard to the button “1″ on you pad/controller, now here comes the tricky part, if youre running on a 32 bit system you can go get one of these key binding programs like xpadder and set it up as a pretend keyboard because you can get the old drivers from here: http://news.filefront.com/how-to-use-a-ps3-controller-on-a-pc/
But, if you’re running on a 64 bit system this wont work because your 64 bit system will not register you’re pad to begin with hence, you will not be able to bind a keystroke to a button on you’re pad because you’re pad technically “Doesn’t exist” to the computer and you need these drivers on this page or at: http://www.motioninjoy.com/download
now you might be sqat there reading this thinking to yourselves whats the point to this comment, well the point is you have come on to this pqage which clearly states in the title
“”How to Use a Playstation 3 Controller in 64 bit Windows 7 and Vista”"
that’s right 64 bit, not 32 bit and anyway why would you want xpadder? its garbage, plus it has no support for, bluetooth, dual shock or sixasis so u might as well have a cheapo £3 controller
ok now we have got the poor suggestions out of the way let me simplify this how to a little
Do exactly as is written, do not skip a line, do not plug you’re pad in until it says so
1, download the above packages
2a, Start —>> Run —> GPEdit.msc
2b. Enable and Ignore Code signing for drivers policy under User Configuration —>>
Administrative Templates —->> System —->> Driver Installation —>> Code signing for
drivers
2c, when you open “Code signing for drivers” you will get the option to disable or enable, click disable
3, Re-start you’re computer
4, Go to All programs —->> Motioninjoy, then right click “Install MotioninJoy driver” and click “Run as Administrator” give it some time to finish (if you cant run as administrator you might have to log on to windows as an administrator or give you’re account administrator privileges found within control panel then user accounts)
5, NOW plug you’re pad in via usb and see if the lights are “counting up” on the pad if not they should all be lit up NOT flashing
6, run DS3 tool this should now tell you the type of pad you have connected
That should be it, if you want to check you’re pad is working go to control panel —-> Set up USB game controllers, and select the motioninjoy virtual game controller and click properties
ISSUES
1. When installing the drivers, if the output comes back:
INFO:MotioninJoy Driver install log
INFO: Driver install Enter
ERROR: argc < 2
you didn't run it as administrator
2. If the tool says "No controller connected"
first of all make sure it is connected, if so you have installed the drivers or disabled the "digital driver signatures" properly – uninstall and re-install, follow the steps to the letter
If you have any problems don't be afraid to post them here and whatever you do, DON'T moan, complain or bicker because these people who vreated these drivers and support and also the guys who created this HOW TO plus the people who come on and leave comments to help you guys are NOT getting paid for there time and effort, most of them are regular people giving a little bit of there time to help come up with a solution to your problems all for free.
thanks, Lt.S
EDIT*** at step 1 when you download the package install it as well :)
Im pretty sure I did everything succesfull but when I run the DS3 TOOL my controller isnt listed howcome???
When I do step 4 this message comes up in notepad “INFO: There aren’t any live devnodes with the DeviceId contained in the INF.” The only time there is a successful install is when the ps3 controller is connected before hand. I’ve uninstalled and re-followed the process half a dozen times with varying the time in which the controlled is plugged in and the installation of drivers that windows provides. In the end the ds3 tool doesn’t recognize my controller. Can someone please help?
Make sure you download the right bit for your computer. 32 or 64 bit, and i recommend a restart after all else fails. Took me 15 minutes with many trials and error
Hey, I did everything step-by-step and it didn’t quite work perfectly.
I got it working the first time, but now my USB doesn’t work whenever I start my computer! Halp?
How do I reset everything? I’d rather not use my PS3 controller if it means my USB works!
this looks amazing, i’ve always wanted to use the ps3 controller. Just a quick question though. Does it only work with PS emulated games for PC or does it work with any pc game?
And when in game does the pad auto configure or do you setup like a joystick etc?
Thanks!

GGGGRRRRRAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I followed this damn thing step by step but the DS3 tool keeps saying no controller connected!!!!! I just don’t get it!!!!
Same thing is happening to me. And no one replies on this damn page.
If you follow the instructions carefully, it will work for you.
Me too. I have spent over an hour now, trying other guides and then uninstalling everything because they didnt work. This one doesn’t work either. This guide is poorly written at best. Basically run EVERY step as administrator? cause that was not clear to me. But even doing that it still doesnt work. I tried Shadow’s instructions and they are somewhat more clear but when install motionjoy drivers i get this
“LOG Event: 1, No matching devices found in INF “C:\Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\drivers\MijXinput.inf” on the Machine.
LOG Event: 1, RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0xE000020B)
INFO: There aren’t any live devnodes with the DeviceId contained in the INF.”
How the **** hard is it to write down exactly what you do as you do it? If you got it to work, do us all a favor. Uninstall everything, redo it and write down each step clearly!! (And not in broken English either like “you’re controller”)

Oh wow…
The installation was very simple and I’m enjoying my ps3 controller!
I followed all the steps but when i run the ds3 tool, it says “No controller connected!”
Can anyone help me out??
i had a problem i cant do it because i am german are here german people? My prob ist das nach dem installieren etc. und starten des DS3 tools nichts passiert alle leuchten blinken nacheinander also 1 durchgehend dann 2 3 4 5 das immer wieder aber bei modern warfare 2 geht das nicht mit dem usb controller
After some tinkering and trial and error, I got mine to work. I found that the cmd.exe doesn’t work when trying to turn off driver signature (i’m running WIN VISTA 64x). It just puts it into test mode or something. You literally have to log off, press f8, and manually turn off the driver signature each time. The drivers DO WORK, so for those of you who are having problems successfully installing, read the instructions carefully, and keep trying. You’ll get it sooner or later.
Getting the USB to work was no problem. But, can anyone get the bluetooth to work? I, for the life of me can’t get MotionJoy to work with my controller via bluetooth.
hi , i typed in the two commands above ( bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS.. and the other one with test on )
my question is what are this two commands doing? and why do i have now test mode on for windows 7 ??? is this needed ? whats the diffrence ?? and how can i disable them back to standart windows 7 settings…. would be nice if someone could answer me =)
btw the driver worked fine i can finaly now play pes6 on windows 7 =)
I tried this and my windows 7 showed the controller in the devices, but when I played GTA IV I had no control. The controller’s lights were rotating between each one. I was sure that I ran everything in administrator.
Now I’ve got “Test Mode, Windows 7″ and the build number in the bottom of my screen. I tried to “Start Windows Normally” but it’s still there. What should I do?
davis, use this:
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
simple ;]
“No Controller connected!”
tried it many times!!!!!
I have win 7 ult. and tried every step in this guide.
can see the controller in the USB-Gamecontroller window but cant
use any keys. Motioninjoy Gamepad tool does: Nothing…..
please send me an email if you found out how it works 100%
No controller connected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really does NOT work on my Win 7 Ult 64x
I /§% hate you for making me dream that this could work
“Today, there is a solution for all these problems, “……..Not
hey, i connected ps3 controller properly via USB. so that was easy.
but u can not connect it via BT … i dont see an option to install BT drivers in MIJ start menu group…
using win7 64bit and the newest MIJ drivers.
cna anyone help me :( ?
Everything works for me and nothing wrong happened
When i opened DS3 Tool it recognized my controller i selected an option and hit enable but when i go to test it, nothing works (buttons aren’t recognized) also the light are all on and stay like that… Someone please assist me…
Do you think/know if it’s possible to run 2 controllers over the same bluetooth dongle?
I have updated the guide by adding more pictures. Hopefully it’s easier to follow now!
I am STILL having the same problems. I do everything word for word. I’ve re-downloaded and installed the first part, but I don’t have separate USB and BT installers. This sucks. :( Plus, whenever I reboot, the DS3 tool doesn’t find the controller, but it was before.
I really just don’t get this. -_- How can it be this difficult?
i have notice following issue in installation log:
LOG Event: 1, Installing devices with Id “USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_1958″ using INF “C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\mijxinput.inf_amd64_neutral_d1f34e663b25bb36\mijxinput.inf”.

LOG Event: 1, Marked Phantom Device with Hardware/Compatible Id ‘USB\VID_0A12&PID_0001&REV_1958′ for reinstall on next plug-in.
what causes this error:
“Installation did not occur because the hardware isn’t currently present” ???
and how can i fix it ?
Fark this..this sh* ain’t working.
and this editor is an idiot.
if you have Windows Vista, you do not need to disable any sh*…those are for people who own Windows 7.
So you can’t get it working, yet are telling me that the instructions are wrong? Yup, I’m the idiot…
As frustrated as I am about not getting it to work, I’m not blaming it on the guy. Other people have gotten it to work just fine, so obviously we’re the ones messing up.
I just want to know how to make it so I don’t have to repair my drivers to get them working everytime I restart my computer. I don’t care about the controller that much anymore since I found my 360 controller (much easier to set up :P ), but would very much like to undo everything.
Carl, you should suggest creating a System Restore Point near the beginning of this. I was too focused on trying to got through the guide step-by-step and the idea slipped my mind.
Bueno mil disculpas por no saber escribir en ingles, pero espero de todas formas esto ayude.
Lo primero que hice fue obviamente leer completo el post del buen amigo Carl Nelson, hecho esto pase a leer los comentarios uno de ellos lo tome con mucha importancia y en lo personal me funciono, es el de otro buen amigo r2rx a continuacion les voy a dar paso a paso lo que yo hice para que mi control de play3 funcionara con este driver:
Obtener los siguientes archivos
1.- Descargar archivo que comenta r2rx de aqui:
http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo
2.- Descargar el driver de instalacion dependiendo de tu sistema operativo:
http://www.motioninjoy.com/download
Procedimiento
1.- Checar que tu UAC se encuentre inhabilitado. (importante)
2.- Hacer una instalacion normal del driver motioninjoy como lo dice el post al inicio.
3.- Ejecutar la aplicacion que comenta r2rx para evitar el problema del f8 y la linea de comandos, dentro del programa solo tienes que dar unos cuantos clics para llegar al menu principal, en el cual solo deberas seleccionar la opcion “Enable Test Mode” y dar clic en el boton “Enable”, windows te mandara un mensaje diciendo que a iniciado en “Test Mode”.
4.- Importante conectar el control de play3 con el cable Usb, escucharan el sonido de que se a agregado un nuevo hardware, pero windows no te dara el aviso de su correcta instalacion lo cual es bueno, es normal que comience a tildar los focos.
5.- Conectado el control de play3 nos dirijimos a la carpeta de instalacion del driver desde el boton de inicio de windows la ruta ya ustedes saben donde se encuentra, y nos colocamos en el archivo “Install Motioninjoy Driver”, damos clic derecho y “ejecutamos la aplicacion como admin”. Se abrira una linea de comandos y windows te preguntara si deseas instalar el contenido decimos que si instalar de todas formas, no desesperen se tarda aproximadamente unos 2 minutos, cuando termine debemos de ver un archivo log en donde al final debe de mostrar lo siguiente “Success: Installed packaged C:\Program files\DS3 Tool ……..\Mijufilt.inf”.
6.- Si todo sale bien los indicadores del control de play3 comenzaran a dar una secuencia de encendido del 1 al 4, si es asi el controlador a sido instalado correctamente.
7.- Pasamos a reiniciar la pc. (importante)
8.- En este punto el control se encuentra ya en funcionamiento, ahora pasamos a habilitar el control dependiendo a las necesidades que el usuario asi lo desee, ejecutamos el “DS3 Tool” ya dentro solo debemos seleccionar la manera con la cual desea uno jugar con el control si solo el digital pad o utilizar los joystick seleccionamos algunos y damos clic en el boton “Enable”.
9.- Hecho esto podemos ir al panel de control en dispositivos vemos que se encuentra el control de play3 y podemos ahora si ir a las opciones y ver que si en efecto funciona.
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits
Estos fueron los pasos que yo segui y todo me funciona a la perfeccion, lo e testeado con emuladores de todo tipo y no tengo problemas, gracias a Carl Nelson por su post y a r2rx por su comentario tan valioso.
Saludos
Does it not work for Service Pack 2?
I followed the guide exactly and the lights on my Pad were not flashing (which you claimed was a good sign). When I loaded up the DS3 tool, it said nothing was connected.
will it still work on the ps3 after installation? just wondering
control still works perfectly on the console, when you connect back control preferably using the usb cable to acknowledge that once recognized can remove the cable and play normally
Hey, Thanks a bunch for this guide, it’s amazing A++
only one problem for me, everything works on the ps3 controller, except for the joysticks.
I tried in the properties of the controller and the round Hat doesn’t move either.
I’ve followed everything step-by-step
Hey Nick,
I also have the problem too, can’t figure out why I can’t use the joysticks! Tried everything, does anyone know? Is it even POSSIBLE to use the joysticks?
guys i have a problems after install everything. i tried to open DS3 Tool but it failure to opened it! then this thing appear:
DS3_Tool has stopped working
windows can check onlinefor a solution to the problems
-> check online for a solution and close the program
-> close the program
my is window Vista 64bit, ty
ok so you think not getting it to work is bad
these drivers do work for me on the PS3 controler BUT now my blue tooth adapter is not even recognized by windows 7 at all let alone for the controller my mouse can’t connect and i can’t even open bluetooth settings cause it dosn’t see it
any help would be great
All right the test mode is irritating as hell someone tell me how to reverse this process and enable integrity checks as well as how to turn og the test mode logo
Worked great in Win7 64bit, the only issue during install was it gave me the “Windows requires a digitally signed driver” dialog but it also had the notepad window open showing “Successful”, so I just ignored the warning and it worked fine.
Im using this with Just Cause 2 and it works perfect, rumble and all, the only quirk is whenever I unplug the PS3 controller from its USB cable it causes my PS3 to power up everytime.
hm i think i got another problem in the beginning. i was typing in the 2 console commands and it told me “successful”. Than rebooting the pc. When it was back up, i wondered y i cant use my mouse, keyboard etc.
it seems, that my windows ignores all the driver. i also got the warning, that i cant use my sound card any more and i have to re install it. there is no ressource i can use, replugging the peripherals dont help. i just get the screen.
any help?
thank you
sry for my bad english!

win 7 64 bits
Thx a lot man, works 5*
Thanks, Instructions were great, worked perfectly first time. Only question I have is how do I get it to not be in Test Mode and do away with that message in bottom right?
You can use the F8 method each time you boot up, if you don’t like the Test Mode message in the bottom right.

hey, i`ve got a problem, how can I use the L and R analogs ?
im just using the digital control, is there any way to use the analogs stick ?
im playing a FPS game and i cant turn the guy around, he just goes back and forth, left and right … waht about now ?
i am having the same problem as you did with your playstation controller… my l and r sticks arent working. How did you fix that
It doesn’t work. I did everything, but it just doesn’t work. I worked for multiple hours. But, like everything else I ever try…it doesn’t work…
Everything worked great but i have a question.
I don’t really need to use this anymore because i ended up getting a 360 pc adaptor, so what do i need to do to change everything back to before i did this.
I’m mostly just conserned about what i did with the command window, and how now i have the test mode things on each corner
in other words, how do i undo this.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
I had the same issue. Just do the opposite. Specifically,
Start –>cmd.exe (right click and select “Run as Administrator”)
Then type the following (or copy, paste):
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Reboot and enjoy! :)
That got rid of the little watermark on the bottom right corner in Windows 7 as well.
Great post! The controller worked well for me on Windows 7 x64.
when you restarted that commands were undone…
I keep getting code 39 no matter what. and please don’t ignore me.
Hey,
I’ve installed everything, I have control over every single button, BUT I don’t have any control in a game. Could anyone help me please? (im on XP)
Thanks
i think that comes down to the game your playing.
you should check in the options of the game and see if you can customize controls.
it does not show me the full log
this is what it shows me

what should i do??
please help
I’m having the same problem as Andre — I can’t seem to get my left and right analogs to work, and for some reason my up and down d-pads won’t work. Suggestions?
If you select “Analog Gamepad 2(POV, joysticks, Analog Trigger)” instead of “Digital Gamepad”, it should work… I got both my sticks running that way (but unfortunately the D-Pad didn’t work then). Also, try playing with the settings Windows has for Game controllers in Control Panel.
How do you get it to pair via Bluetooth? I hit the pair button in DS3 Tool when the controller’s 4 lights are flashing but it just says “bluetooth dongle” in a popup window. :/
Yes thank you! it works perfectly. I did had problems.. had to uninstall and reinstall until it just work. gah!
this is crap tried installing /uninstalling thought third time id be lucky no luck, my opinion its CRAP
Disabling the integrity check made problems for me as well. Some of my drivers refuse to work, including Ethernet and SB Audigy. Reinstalling the drivers work untill I restart the computer again. Maybe this is something you should warn about -before- we do the bcdedit part, instead of after? Maybe you could tell us how to enable integrity checks again, that would be very helpful. Thanks.
I think it’s pretty obvious that to re-enable integrity checks you just run the opposite of the original commands.
always pretty obvious doesn’t mean people will know regardless. however, you’re right, it’s not difficult at all.
bcdedit.exe -setloadoptions DENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
rather simples. I tried to use the permanent method and although everything seemed to check out the PC still wouldn’t recognize the connected controller until I disabled the checks via reboot. If it’s any more conveniencing, hibernating or setting to sleep a PC rather than shutting down entirely helps though that’s another fiver on the electricity bill a day so watch out for that ;p
Carl, could you please update the DS3 image to the latest version as well as let us know the exact Bluetooth dongle model you did this with. A lot of people on the Motioninjoy forums have said one brand works and others then say it doesn’t. Apparently some brands use different chips from other manufacturers and register them as their own in the PC.
I’m recieving this after trying to run the driver install – what is wrong?

After installing everything and stuff. when done my buttens work but my joysticks dont work.
i did do something like thing on my old computer and works great but this one isent.
Well, I posted this as a reply up higher, but decided to add it here, since I saw a few people waiting for the answer to how to undo turning off driver verification as seen in the tutorial as:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
TO UNDO THOSE COMMANDS,
Start –>cmd.exe (right click and select “Run as Administrator”)
Then type the following (or copy, paste):
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Reboot and enjoy! :)
Hey, it worked and everything, but when I try to use it on a pc game such as virtua tennis 3, the game reads the face buttons on the controller as the same input as the analog stick, so that even if I use another program to map the face buttons to WASD the game will still read both actions at the same time. What’s going on???
Tried it I belived it installed it correctly and would work however it complety screwed up the blutooth in my laptop so I did a system restore before the change, good idea but If I can’t connect my MX 1000 its a no go. Anybody else have this issue or find a fix.
Quick question (I hope). I have everything downloaded and ready to go, but the more I read the more I’m wondering about something that should be, in my opinion, very glaringly obvious: Do you need any type of hardware to enable the bluetooth connection? I can’t seem to find any posts that address this. People keep talking about the “dongle”, which I know to be that little usb receiver, but there aren’t as many posts as I would expect if everyone who did this had to buy a bluetooth receiver for this to work. Can someone kindly clarify this point for me before I go ahead and waste my time and run into unnecessary frustration?
Thanks in advance!!
It’s pretty much hit or miss with the hardware IDs that are supported in the dongles. I have a Silicon Integrated Systems chip that doesn’t work, nor do 99% of other people’s apparently but there has been at least one working setup on a CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) chip (or so claimed).
Check out this thread, http://forums.motioninjoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=132
Apparently the driver is more of a hack that over rides some of the default Bluetooth driver settings (which is why it kills connectivity to other devices). I suspect this is why it works on and off with some chips.
Will my ps3 remote still work on my ps3 after I do this?
How do ya play games with that after you have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine?
I cant use left and right analogs, solution?
I´ve tried selecting diferent configurations in the DS3 Tools but none works for the analogs
Everything installed and works great, except for that when i try to look around, the v-axes and z-axes seem to be switched… i have no control of looking left and right, but looking up and down is done by pushing left/right on the right stick. Any ideas?
I`m having exactly the same problem, anyone know what to do?
Following the instructions in this tutorial borked my system. I installed the drivers, rebooted, hit F8, yadi yadi…. I selected install motionjoy driver and waited about 2 minutes then BAM…. blue screen. I had my Nexus One tethered to my laptop and it tried to install the driver for it as well, as if it were a joystick. I had to roll my system back. Be cautious and unplug everything but the PS3 controller when doing this.
Now that I got it installed I fired up the calibration tool and all seemed well. Fired up hyperspin, played a few mame roms just fine, configured nicely. Then I reboot and the driver doesn’t work. The controller is not detected anymore. wtf.
Under Connected Game Controller it says,”No Game Controller.” And I did everything I was supposed to do.
Evertying works fine in calibrate screen, all buttons light up and are functioning including my analog sticks. my only question is how come i cant get my ps3 controller to work in just cause 2. Theres a option in the game menu for a 360 controller setup but not a ps3, my guess is im shit out of luck and ps3 controllers dont work with just cause 2. i have no other game to test out my controller…any ideas anyone???
Any ideas on why the ps3 controller wont work with just cause 2, my ps3 pad is workin fine in calibration screen, all bottons and sticks are working but i cant get it to work with just cause 2. I have no other game to test it on. any ideas?
Ive Done evrything coretly but uder devices its showing up as a keyboard
install version 4.000 i had the same shit happen to me, make sure u follow unistall insturctions…after that ur in the clear. i got my ps3 pad runnin with JSTC 2.
I know this is an old topic, but I can’t get my analog sticks to work in game, and I followed all instructions, is there any possible way to fix this?
Thank you very much, now i will play PES 2010 like it should be played
Oh yes, I forgot to ask something, I can get use to the fact that I have to reboot everytime to play with my controller, so I’m wondering if upgrade my OS to Windows 7 will I have to do same thing?
My controller is working very well, the computer recognizes everything i do with it. But for some reason, it’s not working in the games I want to play. The whole reason i want it is to play Crysis with a controller, but the PS3 controller isn’t working in any of my games. Can someone help? I’ve tried it with Halflife 2, Crysis, Audiosurf, HaloPC, and Bioshock. Nothing.
So far, it’s working! I don’t have a bluetooth dongle thingy but, I do have a bluetooth microsoft 8000 wireless keyboard and mouse. Could that somehow be used to connect my controller and go wireless?
Well I tried this and failed, didn’t check the comments so tried to enable the security drivers with the command: bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions EENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS .
Double E cause that seemed like a good idea at the time. Installed and reinstalled MotionJoy 3 times because I wasn’t sure which version I needed. Finally gave up, after failing to get anything to work, and uninstalled it. The computer was running a bit slow so I tried going online, after a while nothing would respond so I swiched it off for the night.
Now it won’t start up and autorepair doesn’t work, that’s what you get I guess. I just wasn’t made to fiddle with computers. Sigh
I have done everything, I have the 1. Lit on my controller, The problem DS3 Tool says I do Not have a controller.
And now I have another problem, On my PC where it shows Numbers for what button I push, The Analog sticks wont work.
@Colton
Make sure you select an Analog Gamepad OR xbox 360 controller and then hit Enable.

Here is a little something I found for us 64 bit users.
When you go into testing mode and that little water mark is there you can use this program described here to remove the water mark and stay in the mode.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/06/remove-watermark-32-bit-and-64-bit-universal-patch-free-download-for-windows-7-vista-and-server-2008/
I didn’t find any viruses or anything in it. It seems clean.
Alt. Direct Download Link – http://soft2.wmzhe.com/download/deepxw/RemoveWatermark_20090509.zip
Sounds too much like a pain in the ass.I think ill pass.
i have windows 7 ultimate 64 and it works but i want to use my controller as a wheel to play rfactor xD. Do i have to install bluetooth driver?
i connected my ps3 controller to my windows 7 pc and all the buttons work fine but i was wondering if there is a way to use it to control my mouse. please let me know!!!!!!!!
http://www.xpadder.com/
You can set up your joystick to work as a mouse
how?
Hey! It all works great as far as the installation goes but when I tried to use it in GTA: Liberty City stories it recognized it as a XBOX controller thus most of the buttons didn’t work as supposed, any solution for this?
That you SO much for this! It worked like a charm and it detected motion and everything. I’m so happy, thank you!
But I wonder, is it a very big risk to have the driver sig enforcement disabled? Mine is staying disabled after I reboot and all, so will I be more susceptible to viruses when downloading things?
I did what yeshua said. Although I had tried it earlier on the hid compliant controller it didn’t work but what I did was unplug the controller while in device manager and find the one that wasn’t there before and Install the driver manually. Idk if I’ll be able to use it yet with the device signer turned off but I’ll try. Thanks yeshiva!!!!
You also can’t select any options in the ds3 tool without being on the Internet. Pretty homo if u ask me I don’t have Internet on this pc and I don’t want it oN the pc I use right. Now. Anyone know how to change the ds3 settings without being on the internet??? I’d like to know!!!
I spent a lotta time trying to get this to work. Blue screens and everything. in the end i stopped using the 4-port usb hub and plugged the sixaxis directly into the computer after a reboot. GREAT, NOW WHAT? :)
so i installed everything and it works fine, but when i turned off my laptop and tried it again, it doesnt work anymore, Ds3 says no game controller and my computer just recognizes it as a ps3 controller not motionjoy controller anymore so i cant use it? any help or ideas?
it says every time you want to use the controller you would have to reboot and press F8.
I got a problem!!
in the folder MotioninJoy is no: Instal Driver.exe (start, all programs, MotioninJoy)
And it dont make a difference when i run windows 7 in: disable driver signature enforcement. Becouse i dont see Test Mode in the right bottom of my desktop
i got Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
and my account got Administrator rights
plz help me out
vincent Im having the same problem… have u found an way to make it work???
Vincent,
You can install the drivers from the program itself. Go to Bluetooth pair, click driver manager, and follow the instructions on the top of the window.
And if you have admin rights, you might as well open the cmd window and type this in
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Maybe itll work and if it works you dont have to run in disable driver signature enforcement, everytime you wanna use the controller.
@gamer12 you have to choose “disable driver signature enforcement” everytime you wanna use the controller ^^
I’ve looked everywhere and no one has the same problem as me, so this is worth the shot!
I did everything right and got my controller to work. However, the pointer keeps moving up without me touching anything. I did the whole Calibrate process, but it didn’t matter. Still going uuup! lol
Anyone ever seen this?
Thanks, folks!
Thank you so much for posting this, I had to figure out where to find the driver downloads on my own, but once I got past that this guide was super helpful.
Can I get 2 controllers to work at the same time this way?
Yeah…this is what I would like to know as well. Would love the ability to play with 2 controllers.
As for USB Drivers….it’s very simple everyone. MotionJoy doesn’t offer them with their update. If it’s not there, it’s not there. The tut was written some time ago, so I guarantee MotionJoy decided to leave out the USB driver for a reason. I personally think it sucks, cause now I have to make sure I have an internet connection before my controller can be connected.
how do i remove what i did when i did this in a command prompt?
* bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
* bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
I didnt like using my ps3 controller and i dont want to be in test mode.
Just reverse the commands. So instead of DDISABLE, it’s ENABLE, and instead of ON it’s OFF
THANKS!
Works awesome. Mapping is a little wonky, but that is easy to fix.. :D
i dont have install USB driver as an option
hi
its working when i tested it in the device manager but when i played COD4 it dednt work , wats wrong :(
and burnout too
plz hlp !
i have that same problem somebody help us
I tried enabling that thing in cmd it doesn’t work, i turned off the other one….. it doesn’t work and now my internet on my laptop isn’t working but it says its fine, my network internet is on 0% but my house internet is 100%……
Finally, I could use my ps3 controller on my pc :D Thanks for the tut, much appreciated!
The guide works great for me up until I have to install the driver. In my Motioninjoy folder, I don’t have the install option, just run, homepage, and uninstall. Any have any ideas as to what’s up?
How do you get the analog stick to work….? It’s just the pad that works.
so i have the driver installed and working but every time my ds3 is pluged in my laptop touchpad ceases to function. Any one have the same problem or know of a soulution?.
i don’t have the “motioninjoy” i don’t know what to do!!! can anyone help!?!?!?
When i rebbot fot the first time, i dont see any USB instalation options in Start Menu nor do i see Bluetooth instalation options.
how do i get 2 motioninjoy folder to install usb driver
i agree with Mike………
How do you get the analog stick to work….? It’s just the pad that works.
any solution??????????????????????????????
Well I did some fiddling to get joysticks to work but 2 major things I found is that Mouse button selection doesn’t work (game uses mixture of mouse and keyboard commands.) As well it doesn’t get the buttons right. I set FKeys for different buttons (games playing uses them for skills) and well they are all wrong. I can figure it out and re-map things but a real annoyance to have to do so.
ok so if i do all the stuff mentioned above, my ps3 controller will work on my pc… WIRELESSLY though correct? via bluetooth?
After about an hour of fiddling got it to work on my laptop running Vista. For ages all the buttons would work, & the D-Pad, but not the joysticks (same for the SIXAXIS driver). I went to options & slid the x axis slider from 12 to 29. Worked OK straight away. It seems the sticks were not centred.
Hope that helps.
The MotioninJoy PS3 Controller drivers have been updated! They are now digitally signed, so are (a bit) easier to use. We have updated our guide to reflect the changes.
Working like a charm on Win7 x64 , thank you :)
Hey, please help, followed the steps, went to load the driver and then my keyboard and moused suddenly stopped working. They are both Logitech wireless ones.
I have tried to reconnect them, but to no avail. What should I do?
Works great, Thanks
when click Upload driver, all sell well just what my wireless keyboard and mouse become useless, must make a system restore to be back in operation. windows 7 x64 I have, otherwise I have a Logitech cordless keyboard sx710, Why is there a conflict? a few days ago, until I crashed windows were all super
I got the same problem as spartacus84.
it install without problems, but when i press ‘load driver’ it just drops my wireless usb keyboard/mouse when it installs driver #5.
after that i have to use System Restore to get it back.
I have a logitech S520 keyboard/mouse combi, running Win7 x64.
Hope this can be fixed/patched.
Installed perfectly here, it even fully works with blue-tooth :)
Thank you
i had same problem as spartacus84 took me a while but ended up plugging another mouse in and deleting program and its drivers in order to get my logitech keybaord and mouse working i take it something got to do with logitech is there a fix
it works good but how can I transform the ps3 control to a keyboard?
nvm. thx a lot. it was so easy
i downloaded every and ran all the test but i canr seem to get it to work on my pc games what am i suppose to do
thanks! i just used this driver and it works good at my 2k11. can’t get it off my hands now. hehe. :D
how to get it work without constantly connected to internet because sometime my internet connection gets errors.please reply………….
Thanks for the very descriptive help. Without this, no chance in heck I get the thing working!
well………i got all the drivers installed and i have the controller to work with DS3 TOOL, but what NO ONE EVER DECIDES TO TELL YOU IS THE PS3 CONTROLLER DOESNT WORK FOR MOST GAMES FOR THE PC……ive only downloaded 3 games so far and im at a 1 out of 3 luck…….BLACK OPS ps3 controller doesnt work at all……STREET FIGHTER 4 PC ps3 controller does work except the X button……….and now im trying SPIDERMAN SHADDERED DIMENSIONS PC, ps3 controller does not work for the game either so thats 1 game out of 3 that worked, im downloading GRANDTHEFT AUTO: EPISODES OF THE LIBERTY CITIES, so ii ask my self, is it even worth trying to go through the process of loading drivers hitting the F8 key and telling windows to load the driver whenever i want to play a game restarting the pc ……..or just spend 25 dollars on a PC CONTROLLER that looks very similar to the PS3 controller and save my self the HASSLE and time………..NO ONE seems to mention none of this…………im here to let you guys know…..might be better off just buying a CONTROLLER from WALMART or frys, and calling it A DAY………..load drivers from the disk you purchase and WAM BAM……..no more, “oh this isnt working lemme go recalibrate this and that”…….-any one find somethin gdifferent let me know
Got it to work last night, but a HUGE issue for me is that my wireless mouse no longer works. Noting the above comments, it seems I am not the only person having this issue. I have uninstalled the program and am still having bluetooth issues.
I did not have this issue before installing these drivers.
This is pretty much a deal breaker at the moment. Very frustrating.
I installed and the pointer is working all the buttons are working…
But when I try to play black ops nothing happens I go to settings and no gamepad is showing, I can’t play with it, anyone solved that one?
So here is what happened to me. I got the program working just fine except for some buttons in game. Some buttons just would not work for the game. In Starwars: tfu2 i could not dash and the command configuration was all screwy. So i changed the setup to analog gamepad 3. Aafter that i was able to configure my controls and got all my buttons to work except for the right analog joystick still had some problems. It appeared to be stuck going in one direction, odd… Still cant quite figure out how to get it to work properly. I am going to try adjusting the slider. Thanks.
I’m having a problem with the PS3 controller working on my PC. It’s all set up, and working, Bluetooth and all, but when I come to play Black Ops on my PC it won’t even show that there is a gamepad connected!?
hey guys i got [ Saitek P3200 ] <<< controller and my computer recognize the controller but i cant run it with the program ,,, what else can i do please guys
here is my e-mail address [[[[ [email protected] ]]]]
It works with windoes 7 32 without any problem. Only thing is how do I change so i can aim with R3 instead of L3
i just downloaded this and when i try to play the game, the d-pad work but the buttoms and the trigger dont work. any idea how to work? i think i might have to find a sotfware for it but cant find it..
I recomend that you download xpadder to so you can controll your pc and games better
I downloaded this and had no problems with it, other then offline mode only giving me only dpad and disabling joysticks. Because i can use my PS3 remote on my pc i can play Live For Speed and my other racing games with better controls. Also anybody have any idea how to get offline mode working, i got a Windows XP 32 bit
Hey guys. I downloaded this today and it is possible to get it working with just about every game. Swap the controller mode to ‘Xbox 360 Controller Emulation’ and hit enable. You should have the game pad option appear in every game now. It works a charm.
Great tutorial, I followd this because I read that this isa way to play GTA IV with my PS3 Controller. So I did everything here, but how do I use it in the game next?
Everything is fine except i cant use the controller playin’ mw2, when i go to the controls menu to set the shooting to be R2 for example, it doesn’t recognize the button
I have a question?..
I wanna buy a controller and I don’t think it is considered dual shock or six axis. Its a third party ps3 controller and it looks really cool. I was wondering if it would still work with this driver??
Thanks,
I use a 3rd party PS3 controller with these drivers, they work fine
This really help thank u uploader greatly appreciated :D
I installed this, but when i click load drivers it installs them all, including my logitech ex100 mouse/keyboard. So now, i have a computer without a way to navigate and the only way to fix is restore to earlier time or plug in ps/2 keyboard and uninstall it.
i might have found a way around this. right when it asks you to install anyway, click it and quickly unplug the mouse/keyboard until it finishes install.
Thank you very much for the tutorial. I was waiting to try using my ps3 controller with some games for a while now. However, though I have followed the tutorial, I am still stuck at the part where I press load and everything should be installed. Specifically, though the driver is installed successfully and my laptop does recognize the controller, nothing I press receive a response at all. I tried it with both my controllers, one of which was dualshock while the other sixasis. Both of which, did not work. If anyone have any advice on fixing this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have this problem too. I’ll report back if I find a fix.
This worked with the PS3 controller just fine using Windows 7 64bit, however it disabled my Wireless Logitech Wave Keyboard. Ironically, I have a Logitech Wireless Apple (MAC) keyboard that I plugged in and it worked just fine. I attempted severally ways to install the PS3 in sequence and installed the latest Logitech SetPoint 620_x64 software driver program but the DS3 just takes control of the Logitech Wave Keyboard and makes it useless (dead). I had to use Windows System Restore to get the keyboard working again. So I have two options, get a different keyboard that works with DS3 or get a XBOX360 Controller. I will get the XBOX360 controller as I really like my Logitech Wave Keyboard.
and I dont get the 4 steps that you show in the driver manager I get like 6 and the motion joy asks me to connect the Bluetooth dongle. How can I fix that?
i’m having an issue with the analog function. for some reason, when i select the analog gamepad 2 mode, i still don’t have use of the analog controls. everything else works fine. the dpad, buttons, etc. anyone have any idea of what’s going on?
ok so i just installed this program and sure enough my mouse wouldnt work anymore so i uninstalled the program and all the drivers for it restarted computer and yaya my mouse is back. So now how do u get the ps3 controler and other usb devices working togather O.O? !!!!! SIMPLE! step 1 Follow all the above steps in this gude except you will need a ps2 (Green Or Purple Ended) mouse or keyboard follow the steps till you get to the Load Drivers step in the device manager selection when there UNPLUG ALL USB DEVICES CEPT THE CONTROLER if not it has a chance to assgin it a new driver and u cant use it anymore or will have to uninstall the driver. Once the process is finished doing it for the controler restart your computer once windows has loaded plug in all your usb devices again and congrats! Hope this helps
OK, I followed the instructions very closely; I did everything I was told in the guide. However, I still cannot get my PS3 controller to work on my computer. I’m using a 64-bit version of Vista. I plugged my controller into the USB port via the USB cable shipped with my console and Windows automatically downloaded the drivers. Then I ran the DS3 tool and it told that it couldn’t find the controller I had just plugged in. So, I downloaded the drivers via the DS3 tool, but that also did nothing, as going into the Game Controllers manager tells me that I have a Playstation 3 Controller plugged in and not a Motion In Joy Virtual Controller. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for any help generously offered.
Hi guys, u dont have to go through all this nuisance just like me buy an Xbox 360 Gamepad with PC receiver and that’s all :)))
How do I set this up to play a game on my PC. Just bought Black Ops, but cannot seem to get the controller to work with it in the settings of controls. Any help?
PS3 remote btw. Thanks in advance!!!
I will not be disabling AdBlock, if you make money off showing shady/bad ads blocked by AdBlock then shame on you.
Shame on me? Adblock doesn’t just block “shady/bad” ads, it blocks ALL ads. The shame is on on you, not me.
This is the best guide i’ve ever seen on so many lvls great work man rly i’ve wasted hours with lame guides for months now gratz again keep up the good work !!! thank u
Im trying to use this on borderlands on steam PC, and it cannot pick upthe ps3 controller, I KNOW it can work for Xbox360 controller, can you please help me?!?!?
Try XBOX 360 emulation mode
This thing works! Eureka! But i have a problem. Everytime i disconnect my controller(which is necessary as i have only 2 limited usb ports [laptop]) and i plug in my controller the next time, my computer does not recognize the analog controls. I have to run DS3_tool again and re-enable PS3 controller mode. It is frustrating as i have limited internet connection in where i live too. So is there a fix for this?
Thanks in advance! Carl, you da man!
I’m pretty sure you have to do that… Frustrating I know, but I guess they want to get paid for their work (plus they had to buy a certificate to sign the program)
i use my laptop for remote play for playstation 3. i have installed the program and the controller works fine, but i can’t use it in remote play, is there anyway to do that? cause that would be the best thing i can do while i’m at uni!!!
This worked flawlessly for me but is there any way to get 2 controllers working on the same PC this way?
I installed the driver, but how do i make it work as the mouse?
the “Enable” button won’t work.
I tried and It was work.Im playing now.Thanks for your helps..Take care…
My windows 7 desktop says its missing a part.
“flash.oxc is needed for this program, it is no longer included in Windows 7″
I thought this worked in Windows 7? :S
analog mode 2 isn’t an option i only get playstation 2′ (POV,Joysticks,Analog Trigger) and the analog sticks aren’t working but the bumpers and the buttons under the stick work. How do i fix this.
Hi, I got as far as seeing “1. Dualshock 3/sixaxis (USB)” listed under “Connected game controller(s):”, and when I click on “Vibration Testing” my PS3 controller vibrates; however the analog stick and sixaxis controls still aren’t registering in the Game Controller Panel. I tried using the calibration but nothing registers except for button presses. Help!
I’ve managed to install and run this and my controller works, well, most of it. all the buttons and D-pad and the analogs to a degree. except it doesn’t register when i try to do, analog down or analog right? any ideas. I’ve got Mario 64 waiting for me and i want to get playing..!
for those who need help…
go in the home page where you have the vibrate button and go click on the create button next to the custom preset. there you can bind any key of your controler to any key or axis on the mouse or keybord (R1 = mouse 1 for example)
try that for your joystics as game axis (i think) by default and calibrate everything in the windows game software (carefull, there is axis settings for movement detection also)
hope it helped bcause i wrote this on my psp and it’s a pain…
Sounds promising, sadly I need by bluetooth for other things and I’m only interested in this when I can use it with bluetooth without it altering the drivers. Also, if it really is the case that they need to boost ad revenue to make us redo the settings for analog, I wish we could have an option to donate to have it always on.
Yes, I could use a 360 pad, and I do, but I’d much prefer a fully working, one time set up, bluetooth enabled pad for my pc. Heres hoping it can happen one day, I’d pay for it that’s for sure.
I have it fully installed and working, but is there anyway to actually map it to do keyboard commands? I want to play an old game that doesnt support controller mapping, just keyboard, so i was looking for a way-around by having it work AS a keyboard.
(Like have my joystick/arrow keys work as WASD/camera, like newer games) If anyone would help, thatd be great
Great Tutorial! but mine is getting stuck at the “Load Driver” part. It has installed some of the drivers but now it says “INFO:RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0×0) Please Help ME!!!
did all the steps like you showed, but how can i make it work in games? it seems like the game doesn’t detect the controller tks for the tutorial could you help
You may have to use XBOX emulation mode.
i’ve done all this but the game black ops still doesn’t recognize the ps3 controller only the crap box one…how do i change this?
You probably have to use XBOX emulation mode.
will plugging it back into the ps3 make it function normally again for use with the ps3 or does something special need to be done
No, once you plug it back into the PS3, it should pair up with the console automatically. Otherwise you can do it manually
Hey, I got this use on FPS’s on the pc of course. But I wanna use it for Homefront and theres a problem on how to set the controls for itwith the controller. Do any of you know how to fix this?
I am trying to find any game controller that will allow me to play Dragon Age II on my laptop. This far no matter what i try no controller will seem to work. Anyone with suggestions please, please let me know.
did everything like tutorial said and I click on load and this pops up….
INFO:ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW

what do I do?
Hi, I’ve got the PS3 controller working just fine, except one thing. When I start Saints Row 2 on steam, it enters the main menu just fine. But when I press “continue” to enter the actual game, Saints Row crashes .. :S Any idea why? If the controller is unplugged, it works just fine.
Woo! It works xD Just extract it and install it then some how its the same as the instructions and i don’t see the last one but it works :P
You are the BEST. thx a lot :))))
Thanks a lot man,
Now I’m gonna enjoy, with my working PS3 controller.
A bit late on this but could never get it to work wirelessly via bluetooth, then I realized it removed my defualt bluetooth drivers and disabled my wireless mouse, keyboard, and head phones… So I’m opting out on this, although its nothing major, its made me a bit uncortable about using my DS3 for a PC game pad. Although Bluetooth Connectivity with the DS3 and PC is awesome, I’ll probably try a tethered USB method that doesn’t interfere with my default windows software, as I’ve read up on a few methods that due so.
Also, with the advent of ‘Playstation Certified’ Products coming to Droid Phones and other “multi-media” devices, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony releases their own DS3-to-PC compatibility, they could definitely capitalize on it, since it allows you to allows you to use an actual Playstation Controller to work with buttonless multimedia applications.
One MILLION THANK YOUS! The instructions were clear, concise and easy to follow.
Can’t wait to test it out fully (with a game!)
Hi guys, do you realy need a bluetooth dongle? Because I don’t have any and wen trying to install, it said: Get a Compatible Bluetooth Adapater(Recommended)…
Thanks in adnvace!
i want to play quake live with my ps3 controller its connected but i still have to use the mouse please help ):
Thanks…worked well..
I tried this… didnt work, but i think the reason is that i do not have an internet connection. I copied the achive files for the DS3 tool but that didnt work. it just give the window showing cannot connect to the internet. Can anyone help?
Yeah, you need an internet connection for this to work
I’ve tried it in XBOX 360 compatibility emulator, but I can’t seem to get GTA 4 to recognize my DS3. I’ve tried unplugging my laptop and keyboard but nothing seems to work, anyone figure this out yet?
sorry, i meant mouse and keyboard, not laptop*
I think I hade the same problem. I did everything and used Xpadder as well. But the game just won’t recognize the controller. So then I disabled the UAC on controllpanel and restarted the pc. Worked like a charm for me :) I’m using win 7 ultimate 64bit. Good luck ;)
THX uploader respect!!
Anyone know why the the analogs are reversed in xbox 360 emulation mode???
Ive already tried un clicking the reversed boxes but its all in vein they still stay reversed. Any one know how to fix this?
please where can i get the file to install
I have done everything in the instructions and my PC doesnt seem to be seeing my controller. Neither is the program for installing it. The first time I did it the MotioninJoy program saw the controller but I couldnt seem to get it to work to calibrate it. I reinstalled the driver and poof! it dissapeared off the list of controllers. What have I done wrong and can I fix it. oh I am using Vista 32 bit.
thank god this actually worked for me. I’ve been wasting hours trying to mess around with the stupid libusb method and stupidly libusb always worked for me except now and I thought there was no other way to get it to work.
This program and directions are totally legit / my keyboard and mouse are not USB luckily I have old ones still saving my new ones haha. Also download a program called xpadder to use with your ps3 controller to make the d-pad become the arrow keys and other such things.
Wow! this really helpt!
Who ever made this program and instruction shud be put on the money!
Sweet the instructions worked! Thanks!
I was getting sick of using the keyboard/mouse while playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance (I know, old game).
btw restarting this program dosnt make any difference if u dont go into the options tab and uncheck “Placing it in system tray when click close button”. otherwise ur gona have to restart ur system cause this program runs in background also it does need to be restarted every time u unplug the controll so deffo uncheck the box!!!!!! good tho lovin the 360 emulator very handy… might as well buy a second hand wired 360 controll fr less than 10 buck lol
**READ IF YOURE HAVING DRIVER INSTALL ISSUES IN WIN7 64BIT**
I am running Windows 7 64-Big and couldnt get the driver to install from within this program (both the signed versions 0.60001 and 0.6.0003 tested) no matter what I did. It would just give me an error in the driver install log. Tried every tip given in all the forums, etc.. nothing. Local mode does the same thing.
Then I tried updating the corresponding “USB Input Device” to my controller in device manager manually, and it works!
Basically I plugged my controller into a new usb port on my computer, and opened up device manager, going down to “Human Interface Devices”. Go down to the entries that say “USB Input Device” and right-click the first one on the list. Select “Properties” and then click the tab that says “Details” in the window that pops up. In the dropdown here scroll down the list and select “Install Date”. Take note of the time listed. Look through each “USB Input Device” entry and find the one with the closest date/time to when you plugged in your controller and installed it in a USB port. If it was a port you havent plugged it into before it will show the most recent date/time. This is your PS3 controller. (Note: you can also try and watch the device manager to see which “USB Input Device” pops up when you plug in your controller to find the correct entry if the other method doesnt work for some reason)
When you find the right one, right-click it and select “Update Driver Software” then choose “Browse My Computer”. Next click “Let me pick from a list..”, and then click the “Have Disk…” button. You will then be prompted for a location, point it to “C:\Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\drivers\MijXinput.inf” (if you installed in the default directory) and then Voila! you will see the motioninjoy driver listed and then click “OK” to install.
Now open up MotionInJoy and you will see your controller is automatically detected in the profiles tab when it pops up, and that the driver is listed as “Installed” for your device in the driver manager. All analogs are working and everything.
Hope this helps someone else as I was getting frustrated as hell trying to figure out WTF the problem was, but whatever the cause this is the only solution I know of after searching for hours for help & trying different things. Good Luck.
….words escape me. I finally got it to work. All because of you. You sweet sweet angel!!! IVE BEEN TRYING FOR HOURS AND WAS CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE!!!! I LOVE YOUU!!!!!
I tried this but I get this me this error message: “The folder you specified doesn’t contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems.” I’m using Windows 7 x64 and a wired Play Station controller (but not ps3). The forum has not provided an answer to this issue despite multiple users posting with the same problem. There seem to be a lot of bugs in general based on the number of negative posts. I’ve already invested countless hours on this project and am giving up. I’ll probably wind up just buying a new controller. :(
worked like a sharm, thank you very much
i’m not using a BT dongle, it worked with my laptop built in broadcom card
btw i still didnt try the vibration but i think it will work.
When I play games with the controller, how do I unplug it and still play but wirelessly? I need help!
It works for me on my window 7 32 bit.
The Controller, Vibration, and even THE Sixaxis.
Thanks to You.
for some reason when Enable DualShock and Analog Controls , the “connected game controller” spot says wait for controller ???? i cant enable the analog controls???
Worked like a charm! Vibration works too! Sincere thankfullness.
I just followed exactly what the instructions said
I tried the method that Mordecal Walfish describe, but it didn’t work.. When i choose have disk and finally browse to the correct directory and click on the “MijXinput.inf” file, Windows pops up this error message: “The folder you specified doesn’t contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems.” Please help :(
When I open the DS3 tool, it says there are no devices detected. I have plugged the controller in properly to the usb port. It says i should check that the driver is installed. I thought it was but I don’t know how to check. Also, when it does open, it doesnt say quickstart and custom at the top, it says profiles and driver manager. Can anybody help me?
See, I did everything that was instructed. The controller is showing the ’1′ coz that’s what I’m used to on the PS3 and I placed it that way. But the problem is, my controller is just not ‘controlling’ the mouse or cursor. I move the analog sticks and the directional buttons but my cursor is in the same place. I’ll admit that the controller is a bit old and parts have fallen out of it but it still worked on the PS3 and when I test it, the controls work fine. They just don’t work on my laptop.
By the way,

hey guys
im having trouble with red faction…
im using my ps3 controller but in the game it wants to use a 360 controller, so the buttons are completly jumbled up.. like tilting the controller left or right makes him walk and select and start is aim and shoot, any help or advice??
i have searched but i cant find a fix…
win 7
64bit
It works! Now I’m playing loz: oot using the ps3 controller! So cool!
Had a problem getting the DS3 Tool to detect my controller, though, but I didn’t get the driver manager-page up at first. I just did some random rebooting of both the program and my computer, and eventually, when I clicked “driver manager”, it appeared.
Works perfectly with easy and understandable instructions :D
Thank you Very much!
Dude, I looked for this marvelous driver for years now !
And finally it is working like a charm on my x64 Seven.
Many thanks for the information page, nad many thanks for this driver .. I guess we should donate something !!! at least I will :)
I followed these steps as stated, but I still had problems (only the keypad worked for directional control and buttons weren’t matching game profiles). If you also have trouble getting full functionality, I suggest trying the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator. Once I did, I was able to play Portal 2 and Limbo on my PS3 Dualshock controller without issue (both are Steam versions, FYI).
After the next restart of my laptop, I had to enable the PS2 controls as shown and then switch back to the Xbox emulator again, and all was well. This is a required step (for me) every time I reboot.
This driver seems quirky at best, but once you get it working, it does work.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Everything works perfectly but it is not showing up on the games. What should i do ?
Win 7 64 bit
Does it support multiple controllers? For split screen games?
Hi guys,
I have been trying to install the controller onto my laptop for past couple of days now. I have installed everything correctly and have been able to calibrate the controller too. However when I start the game (saints row 2), I cannot do much as for some reason cursor just moves up as if the up button is constantly pressed down. Also when I tried it on SSF4, it wouldn’t let me do anything when I pressed the button. So basically I cannot press start after the starting video.
I am using a toshiba p750-114 and the operating system is windows 7 x64.
Please can someone help.
Thanks
I installed the local file in its proper place as directed. when i open the ds3 program and click local i get no game controller and when i go to load the drivers I don’t see any drivers
I am using Vista Home Basic 32 bit
It looks like motioninjoy is having some big problems their site and server are no longer up, No idea if they are shut down or have server issues that will be up and running again but either way there is no way to be able to use it as a 360 controller etc as it requires their server to be up ( stupid idea to have it online only for the advanced uses) now i have a bunch of games that i currently can’t play until it comes back up if it does at all or the alternative is to buy a 360 controller for the PC which i don’t want to do as i prefer the PS3 one.
I cannot seem to load the website and the driver loader does not work? Is the website down for anyone else at the moment?
It’s infuriating that it cannot work because you rely on his website to download the ACTUAL driver.
Is back now! thnx!
Thank you! But one thing everything seems to work fine but when i get into a game it doesnt work :(
Which game?
I have got my ps3 controller working wirelessly, however as soon as i try and start up lego universe the controller stops working. I downloaded the 64bit driver, i have heard that downloading the 32 bit driver would solve this but not sure. Anyone know how to get this controller working in lego universe?
Fully working for me. Good tutorial, only thing that bothered me a little bit is that in your tutorial you were using an older version of the DS3 Tool software. Other then that.. THANK YOU!
BTW if the driver isn’t working in some games, you can try using it with XPadder
http://xpadder.com/
Also, make sure you are running it in admin mode, or disable UAC
Sweet!!
Thanks, It did work…. great work .
hey plz can sum1 help been doin this for hours now. ds3 recognised my ps3 control. it respond in xpadder and things but when i come to play the game (crash bandicoot) it just wont work. i dnt know if it summet small i missed but ive done everything plz help
What if I want to use a playstation 1 controller?
I have one of those popular Bak adaptors, but i can’t seem to make it work on windows seven ultimate…
Thanks this worked like a charm, you guys are the bomb diiggidy
@Carl Nelson, I followed your tutorial, and now my PS3 controller is working fine on my PC with Windows 7 x64 :D !
Very thanks!!!
Archive is broken
They all work fine for me
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT WORKED FOR ME YEAH
you are awesome carl nelson
Mine is connected, I just don’t know how to get it working on my Steam games. Good work though ^_^
I installed the DS3 software on my Win7 x64 system, but when l plug in my PS2 controller into the USB adapter and plug the adapter into my PC, it is not recognized and l do not have a “LOAD” button, rather a “LOAD DRIVER” button that when clicked tells me l need to pick a driver from the list. But there is no list.
I have done Mordecai Walfish’s suggestion of going into Device Manager in Windows, but l get the same message that Drns gets of “The folder you specified doesn’t contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems.” Not sure what to do at this point. It seems that plugging a PS2 controller into my PC is STILL not possible.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I’m having the same problem.
Hi!
I am in Windows 7 x64 and I followed your instruction and all was set and it works perfectly for the first time. Thanks! Cheers.
Hi
I have manged to do everything that was told to be done by this article, and I did get the controller to be functional throw the program DS3 Tool. But I’m having a problem using it on games such was Cod – MW3. I did try using Xpadder and other methods that was successful, although it only worked when I was on my desktop or other windows to move around the pointer. It stops working ones I open a game installed on my PC and if a administrator window pops up when it asked me to allow a program to run/install. I have tried searching for any answer in the net with no luck.
I did try running DS3 Tool as an administrator, and tried give the program privileges throw control panel, but nothing worked. Ones I open the game, its as if the controller does not exist anymore. Please can someone help me with this?
Never mind :P Sherlock figured it out…disable UAC and restart, worked like a charm :D Thank you Carl Nelson for this genius guide!
It’s working well for me ( 7 64Bit ) but I just couldn’t figure out how to use it in Modern Warfare 2. What should I do to make it work in game?
Try using xpadder
I work with computers all day – so needless to say, I know my way around them.
I’ve went step by step for first guide, and each guide listed in the comments as well. Does not work, either they referrence something that isn’t there (no i’m not talking about GPEdit, I know thats not on Win7 Home) and I’m still getting “ERROR: argc > Motioninjoy, then right click “Install MotioninJoy driver”” <– This does not exist.
I run MijCmd as admin, and I get a log output with the error.
I've been googling and doing guides, downloading different .rars, step-by-step for about 2 hours. I use Windows 7 Home, offline, and nothing is working. I'm about to just say fuck this. It's not work it.
With all this said – I have it working in offline mode perfectly fine on my Linux Mint 9 laptop. Fucking Windows 7.
Apparently I just had to restart computer a few times – it magically started seeing the controller. Not sure why this would happen.
How did you enable it in-game?
Like Carl Nelson said, try using xpadder to configure the buttons on the controller to be like (WSAD) and mouse movement to the right joystick. And the triggers to be mouse right and left klikk. There are several tutorials on how to do this. But if you are running a game as admin or the contoller stops working ones you opne a game, try disabling tha UAC. It’s working like a charm for me on win 7 ultimate 64bit :) … God luck and enjoy ;)
Thanks for your reply, I’ll try to do with tutorials now.
okay everything seems to be installed and everything, the screen shows that the controller is working when i check the device properties and go to test, but should it be moving my mouse on screen when i’m not in game?
hello ppl, works perfect on windows 7 64 bit with a ps3 slim controller :) if the controller dosent appear in the DS3 tool…close the program and start it again. sorry for my english.
Thanks so much :)
after about an hour or so i finally got it working, i wish bluetooth worked for me though. I’ve tried 3 different dongles none seem to be detected.
HELP!!! i have a “FGT Rumble 3-in-1 (wheel)” for PC and PS3.
My PC does have a USB Bluetooth.
(All the buttons work properly exept the analogs)
I have followed everything for every word and nothing.
I have uninstalled MotioninJoy more than 10 times and it still won’t recognize my controller.
It’ll stay on “Wait for controller(s) to be connected” and I clearly connected it via USB.
Can someone please help me with this????? i need something for “Wheel”
“FGT Rumble 3-in-1″ for PC and PS3
Um,.. i know there’s now a local run mode, but why would you have to be connected to the internet to use a driver,.(that wasn’t a virus),.. so you guys download a driver from there, strip it of all protections,…. AND need an internet connection, or a special file that couldn’t possibly be a log that sends when connected,… who downloads some file that just screams keylogger. (my anti virus doesn’t pick it up), if its a new virus, and you stripped the protections, it probably won’t. nobody’s curious?
The driver is trustworthy. The reason it connects to the internet is for advertising to support the developers efforts.
Thank you sooooooo much finally its working for me :DDDDDD
Hello ive followed the instructions thanks, great instruction ive also set my ps3 controller via xpadder all buttons are set but it just doesnt work on MWF3 and i dont know why. could someone plz help me my head is done in ive been on hours iam not very good with this sort of thing. i have windows 7 and want to sent my ps3 controller up wired to play games if this helps. thanks
If you use a ps3 controller on a pc, will the ps3 controller still work on the ps3?
Up and running in less than thirty minutes; works like a dream. You fucking rock for posting this.
Do you need to buy anything for it to work?
cant get it to work for diablo 3 tried everything says it is connected but wont work in game it will work in the test
I don’t get why you would want to play Diablo with a gamepad.. does it even support it?
This works, but how do I make this work for Super Street Fighter 4 it does recognize the PS3 controller.
Try enabling XBOX 360 emulation.
