 Posted: Sun, 12th Jul 2009 04:26 Post subject: [PS3] Win7/Vista x64 and x86 SixAxis Drivers - TUTORIAL |
|
 |
It's been a long time coming but they are finally here!
First a disclaimer - I am not responsible should you fuck anything up. Attempt the belowlisted steps at your OWN RISK. This worked for me on Vista x64 via USB 2.0.
I've taken the liberty of writing a step-by-step walk-through as the one's I ran across were, to be quite honest, complete shit. Note however that this guide was written from the perspective of someone who uses Vista x64 and USB 2.0. Ideally, this SHOULD work for Win 7 x64 and Bluetooth as well.
Step 1.
Disable User Account Control
Step 2.
Download this program - it will allow Vista/Win 7 to load the unsigned SixAxis drivers without having to boot into an "Unsigned Driver Mode" each time.

Step 3.
Run the program, select "Enable Test Mode" click Next and restart.
NOTE: You only have to do this ONCE- not every time you reboot.
If you want to revert to original settings simply select "Disable Test Mode" click next, and restart.
Step 4.
Don't panic when you see the watermarks stating Test Mode at the corners of your screen. This is harmless - you have 2 choices now:
Step 4. Choice 1.
I want to remove the watermarks permanently. Note: This method removes ALL Vista watermarks (ex. Safe Mode/Illegitimate Version etc. etc.)
BIG HUGE FUCKING NOTE - MAKE SURE TO READ ALL THE RED WARNING TEXT ON THE APP PAGE - THIS WATERMARK REMOVAL APP IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH NEWER VERSIONS OF WIN7 - I've warned you.
The app: http://deepxw.blogspot.com/2008/12/remove-watermark-v03-build-20081210.html
Extract the application, run the respective x86 or x64 variant depending on your system. Push Y and WAIT for it to do its thing. You will get a yellow message in your command prompt when it's done.
Reboot - the watermarks should be gone. Refer to the read-me file included if you want to restore them.
Note: If it failed to remove the watermarks refer to the blue instructions on top of the application page.
Step 4. Choice 2.
I don't want to remove the watermarks.
If you aren't going to be using your controller that often, simply Disable Test Mode and restart. Please refer to the last part of Step 3 above on how to do this.
Step 5.
Download the Win7/Vista x86 or x64 bit drivers and GUI interface here.
http://www.motioninjoy.com/download/
Step 6.
Extract and install the executable - throw a shortcut on your desktop - you'll need it.
Step 7.
This step is very important - if you fuck up here it will not work. Also, you could fubar your USB port recognition, so read carefully.
Step 7a. Plug in your SixAxis via it's charge cable to a USB port on your computer.
Step 7b. Wait for Windows to install some default broken drivers.
Step 7c. Open Device Manager.
Step 7d. Click the + to expand Human Interface Devices
Step 7e. Crucial You have to find the correct USB entry for the controller - do the following -
Starting from the bottom of the list, right click on the USB Human Interface Device and click Properties.
Click the Details Tab.
From the drop-down list select Hardware IDS
The IDS MUST HAVE THE VALUE: 054C&PID_0268&REV_0100
If it does not, you have the wrong entry. Try another USB Human Interface Device in the list.
Step 7f. Once you've found the correct device, click on the Drivers Tab and click Update Driver.
Step 7g. Click Browse My Computer for Driver Software.
Step 7h. Click Let Me Pick From a List of Devices On My Computer
Step 7i. Click Have Disk
Step 7j. Click Browse and navigate to the directory you installed the GUI/Drivers to (See Step 6) /ds3/drivers/MijUfilt.inf
NOTE - Bluetooth users use MijBThid.inf INSTEAD
Step 7k. Click next and install the drivers. If Windows pops up a warning (it shouldn't since we disabled driver signing earlier) click INSTALL ANYWAY.
Step 8. In your device manager, under Human Interface Devices, you should have MotioninJoy USB Gamepad listed.
Setp 9. Open the program you installed in Step 3.
Step 10. Select Sign a System File
Step 11. Copy and paste the following into the blank address bar:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\MijUfilt.sys
NOTE - Bluetooth users use MijBThid.sys INSTEAD
Step 12. Click OK, exit out of the program, and restart your PC.
Step 13. Disconnect and reconnect the controller to the USB port.
Step 14. Verify that the Motion in Joy entry is in your device manager under Human Interface Devices and there is no yellow warning sign.
Step 15. Launch DS3 Tool (the app you installed in Step 5).
Step 16. Select Gamepad 1 (or your preference) and click Enable Option
Step 17. Minimize but do not close the program.
Step 18. Hold down your PS button for a second (make sure your PS3 is off).
Step 19. Your controller key-presses should now be recognized in the windows controller configuration utility.
If you fucked up, it was probably in Step 7 by selecting the wrong USB device. Do not select the Gamepad entry Windows will have listed there. It has to be the correct USB Human Interface Device listing.
The DS3 app must be running for the controller to recognize all key presses correctly.
It has a few radial options depending if you want the motion sensor/analog sticks etc to work. I found the Gamepad 1 Option worked best.
Bluetooth guys are going to have to figure the rest out for themselves - I don't have a Bluetooth adapter to test it with. Ideally you simply sync and activate via the app.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Weird, I just installed a driver and then plugged it in  Needs to be connected by USB, but since I don't have a bluetooth adaptor anyway it's not a big deal. If you don't have a 360 it's a waste of money getting one of their controllers just for your PC. Better to re-use what you have (PS2/3) or get a cheap PC imposter instead.

But! With these drivers, are R2/L2 analog or digital? |
Did your driver work on x64 bit? The x86 driver has been out a while. These are the first drivers that work on Vista x64 bit.
I think all the buttons are Analog. That means the triggers are pressure sensitive yea? Gamepad Option 2 lists Analog Joystick, POV, and Triggers.

That i dont know, im on x86 anyway..
Hm, analog triggers would be nice. Only the sticks are with the drivers im using.

that guide seems to complicated with messing with device manager and all that. I needed to do this the other day before i read your guide, and i just installed a driver with an executable file, it woks a charm.
windows 7 x86 btw

I tried the analog triggers action -
It worked, however my right analog stick would then only register left and right and not up and down. The triggers took the place of right stick up and down - at least in HAWX mapping.
And the winlibusb drivers that everyone is using work great on x86 - but they won't work on x64 - this is the only solution.

Fuck this shit. theres a proggie called Winds3 that makes the ps3 controllers work wirelessly hussle-free. Only requirement is a good bt adapter that has HCI version 3 or higher. HCI thingie is hardcoded in the adapter's firmware, if your adapter doesn't work the only solution is to get a new one. HCI 2 or less WON'T WORK. Only downside: Winds3 costs 14$, I reckon it will be cracked at some point but, still..maybe 14$ isn't that much. Btw, if you read the faq at their homepage you'll see that winds3 is made to work with up to 7 controlllers just like the ps3, thing is, freebt which is the driver used for bt adapters is some old piece of shit that limits this feature.
