[SOLVED] Re: PS3 Controller Windows XP SP3

Post by mfunk1000 »

Let me get this flow right and try it.
Inside the Configure Input screen
- Hit detect for say thrust
- hit PS button on controller
- push right stick all the way to top

I have tried just hitting detect and moving all joysticks and hitting buttons with no luck. I even tried in the standard windows device area and did not get results their either.
Thanks again!

Yeah, that sounds like the correct way.

If you in widows go to Control Panel->Game Controllers->Properties for the PS3 controller do you manage to get some output then?

Solved - PS3 Controller Windows XP SP3

Got it working!
Used Motionjoy but the real issue I found is you have to make sure that the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder needs to be writable. By default its read only which is why you get errors in motionjoy and the drivers were not updating.
