Run console controllers on PC games

True cross platform gaming = PC running a PS3 controller configured to emulate the functions of a XBox360 controller. That's how I did it anyway, it makes sense if you have a PS3 but buy games for PC because they are cheaper and have better graphics. If you have a XBox360 you can just do the first step to get it running. If you have a PC game pad/joystick you've probably noticed that most recent games (especially Games For Windows Live) prefer an XBOX 360 controller.

- Download Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Controller for Windows® driver and install it.
-
Reboot your PC Press F8 when you see the flashing cursor after the BIOS screen,You will see the Advanced Boot Options screen. Use your keyboard arrow keys to go down to the "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" option and press the "Enter" button. Do this every reboot.
- Download MotioninJoy 0.4+ version and install it.
- Plug in your PS3 controller (any USB-MiniUSB cable will work, standard ones aren't long enough) and allow Windows to install the necessary drivers.
- "Start->All Programs->MotioninJoy->Install MotioninJoy Driver" Right click and use the "Run as administrator" option, this will tell you to reboot, ignore it.
- When this has finished (if it finishes very quickly it has not worked) check device manger and the game controller configuration. It should look like this:

The drivers dont work with actual xbox 360 wireless controller
Please write some code for xbox 360 wireless controller via play and charge kit usb, (actual xbox 360 wireless controller) MS wants me to pay for the wireless receiver currently out of stock in SA. Please, I'm begging you , I spent over R700.00 ZAR on this Microsoft monopoly. Thanks for the product, BTW, I do have Original PS3 Controller and only bought the Xbox 360 Controller because of games for windows, What a rip off.
Re: The drivers dont work with actual xbox 360 controller
The play and charge kit does not allow you to play wired. Even when plugged into a 360 the controller still connects through the wireless connection. The cable is only for charging. The wired 360 controller works with Windows and has support from Microsoft but if you want wireless you will have to stick with the PS3 controller or pick up the wireless receiver.
Ps2 off brand controller

Thanks for your report, the ver 0.5 bluetooth connect is better than current version .
They did this last time with .4
They updated the "config" site before they updated the program.5 is imminent.
update?
looks like this is no good anymore. The DS3 tool has stopped letting me set this to emulate the xbox controller. was working fine for weeks but I suspect my latest windows vista 64 update has squashed this
I think version 0.5 is
I think version 0.5 is coming...
I hope so. Everything was
I hope so. Everything was perfect. I played PES 2010, Assassin's Creed 2, Colin McRae Dirt 2 fine yesterday. Looking forward to the new Splinter Cell.And now, It doesn't work anymore for most of them or the joysticks are useless for some.I didn't see any change or update on my machine, only the DS3 tool GUI on the server.Fingers crossed !
Exit DS3_tool and restart it
Exit DS3_tool and restart it will solve this problem. BTW ver 0.5 alpha will come soon
Strange because I had done
Strange because I had done it, I even had rebooted but no luck. But after your reply, it worked again. Great !!!Any clue of the next features of the 0.5 version ?
Won't Function in Games
I have done all the install steps correctly and see all the drivers are installed and signed so I dont have to reboot and use F8. The DS3 tool is even able to make the control vibrate. what could be the problem?
Same with me
Same with me

I need some help with getting the program to remember that I have selected xbox 360 emulation. Whenever I turn off my computer or unplug the controller, the next time I connect it, I have to open the DS3 program and enable xbox 360 emulation again. I didn't have to do this on the previous version, but this has been happening since I downloaded version 4.
stupid win7 x64
can i use motioninjoy without to run Disable Driver Signature Enforcement? i hate to restart cause i forgot to press F8...
yes
look @ the comments. there is a tutorial! just for you: http://www.passsy.de/2009/12/26/ps3-controller-on-win7-x64-without-press...
Windows 7 64-bit
Works perfectly on my Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate. Also rumbles under X360 emulation lol. Thanks for the great work!!
TWO CONTROLLERS with ONE bluetooth adapter
Apparently it's possible since WinDS3 does it: http://www.winds3.com/en/index.htm Anyone knows how to do it with Motioninjoy?
Thanks for this awesome tool!
Firstly, I'd like to thank and congratulate you for that great tool. It's working great on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bits with USB cable and bluetooth.Nonetheless, I'd like to report a few bugs:- I get a blue screen of death whenever I press "select" in Need For Speed Shift.- Bluetooth connection jumps and stops all the time on the games GRID et DIRT2 so I can only play these 2 games with an USB cable.If I want to synchronize 2 controllers on bluetooth, they synchronize on the same dongle so if I want to play with a friend, one controller needs to be plugged with the USB cable. Is there a way to synchronize 2 or more controllers simultaneously on bluetooth? Or do I need 1 dongle per controller? How many bluetooth dongles have the PS3 (four?) to confirm that?Thanks in advance for your answers.
Synchronize 2 or more controllers simultaneously on one Dongle
thanks for your report.Only one controller to one dongle at the moment.I'm improve two or more controllers connect to one Bluetooth Dongle .There is a good news that I have synchronized one Dualshock 3 and one sixaxis simultaneously with one dongle and emulate two X360 controller.New version will come soon.
Fix for WiFi vibrations issues
Hi AcxieThe new driver is very good. Playing on cable is just like on original Xbox 360 pad.
Though there are issues when playing via bluetooth, if vibration is enabled
pad hangs and sometimes keeps vibrating for ever. This happens in every game I've played ( NFS Shift, RE5 and Colin Dirt 2, Batman ). Is there anything you can do to fix this?Regards,
SoboL
The gamepad rumbles alot more
The gamepad rumbles alot more frequent on bluetooth even when it shouldn't rumble. With usb cable plugged in it's perfect. Also when I go from bluetooth and then stick the usb cable in. My windows 7 starts to disable all the programs. Like notthing works can't open a single the programs. I can only use the mouse and explore in windows explorer.If these are fixed I would even pay money for this software.
Is it also possible to set
Is it also possible to set the Xbox 360 controller emulator as standard profile? So we don't have to have internet and click on the enable button?Thank you Acxie for your amazing tool!
of line controller plz
i don't often have internet. why does it need an internet connection for ?i don't understand why.love your software but don't like the internet dependency
The new version will come
The new version will come soon ,except profile editor all function not need nternet connection.
No one notices but if you
No one notices but if you open it up when you are off line, and go over to the tab to select your profile, if you had 360 mode enabled before, just hit enable and 360 mode is now on. if you didnt have it one before get some Internet and enable it.
PLEASE MAKE GAMEPAD TOOL NOT RELIANT ON INTERNET CONNECTION
I completely agree regarding the Profile Editor tab being reliant on an internet connection.I was recently at a LAN where there was no internet connection and I was unable to use my controller for the whole event (games would not recognise it as an input device) which cost me valuable practice time for competitions I could have won with more use of the controller. Good driver and application but very unhappy with the internet reliance.

I read through the instructions, and it said this"2: Reboot your PC Press F8 when you see the flashing cursor after the
BIOS screen and select Disable Driver Signing. Do this
every reboot."Does this mean everytime I want to use my PS3 remote I have to disable this driver when booting?
without f8
No. You can bypass this annoying part. use this tutorial and you can use your conrtoller without pressing f8 while booting http://www.passsy.de/2009/12/26/ps3-controller-on-win7-x64-without-press...
wow! you are very nice guy!
thanks! my friend!
I can use bluetouth!
thanks!
Works Great under XP and Vista
I can confirm that this works under XP and Vista. Thanks guys.
Flawless on Windows 7
Installed this on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and it runs beautifully. Haven't had any problems with installing it and running it. Highly advise this if you prefer using a PS3 controller with a few games.
Will this give you BSOD? I
Will this give you BSOD? I installed Xbox Emulator and got blue screen. I uninstall and got another blue screen. My computer then wouldn't turn on. I had to unplug everything inside and only plug in main components and then run system repair from my windows 7 cd and now everything is fine.
i'm not quite there
under game controllers i have:MotioninJoy Virual Game Controller nothing about Xbox 360.did i install the right Xbox Controller Driver? the link in the instructions leads to a Microsoft home page.
