Sixaxis Dualshock 3 Connecting via Bluetooth on windows

Version 0.5 instruction  please go to http://www.motioninjoy.com/wiki/en/help/install

  1. First make sure that your USB connection is functioning properly(see the above instructions), as this set of instructions is for the Bluetooth connection.
  2. If you have multiple Bluetooth adapters installed, take out the ones you don't plan to use with the SIXAXIS/DS3 so they don't get affected by the MotioninJoy drivers.
  3. As above, if you use a 64bit system you have to hold F8 and select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
  4. Navigate to [Start -> All Programs -> MotioninJoy -> Install Bluetooth driver(Install MotioninJoy driver ver 0.4.00)]and right click it, selecting Run as administrator. After a few seconds, Notepad will pop up and give you the installation
    information (note that if you switch USB ports, you'll have to repeat this step.) If the last line in the Notepad document looks like this:

    LOG Event: 0, Install completed
    LOG Event: 0, Installation completed with code 0x0.
    LOG Event: 1, RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0x0)
    SUCCESS: installed package C:Program FilesMotioninJoyds3driversMijBThid.inf.

    you're good to go.

  5. At this point, if you open [Control Panel -> Printers and Other Devices -> Game Controllers] you can see it looks about the same as the picture below. If it appears like that, you know for a fact that the installation was a success. Pressing buttons still won't work right now, so continue on with the next steps.

  6. Connect your SIXAXIS/DS3 through USB and make sure [Control Panel -> Printers and Other Devices -> Game Controllers] looks like the below picture.




  1. Go to [Start -> All Programs -> MotioninJoy -> DS3 TOOL] and click the pairing button. Make sure you have both the SIXAXIS/DS3 and the Bluetooth adapter plugged in and working. Every time you use your
    controller with a PS3 you'll need to repeat this step.

    2. bluetooth pair

  2. Tap the PS button. If you hold the button for too long it will "unplug" the controller. If you feel a short rumble and the lights start flashing, then a single light goes solid, congratulations on your success! Now
    you can go back to the Control Panel and test it out. For the controller's configuration options, refer to the USB Setup Guide.
  3. Now you can enjoy unrestricted, wireless, rumbling gameplay delight!
  4. Hold the "PS" button in to interrupt the Bluetooth connection and put the controller to sleep, saving battery power.
  5. Next time you want to use it, just tap the "PS" button and it will connect on it's own.

Generic Bluetooth driver?

Submitted by guest on Sun, 09/18/2011 - 16:03.

I got the dongle to work perfectly, but it will ONLY work with the DS3 controller and MotionInJoy -- It can't be used as a regular Bluetooth adapter in any of my USB ports! Is there a way to fix this?

Hi everyone.
First of all thank you very much for you kind efforts to make windows 7 x64 see the dualshock3.
I follow the instruction plus some ps3 sixaxis driver for the bluetooth dongle from planex and my x64 windows 7 can pair alright with the controller right alfter the installation.
But when I restart windows, it goes into testing mode and almost all my other hardware (wire and wireless network cards, sound, USB bus controller... )have a yellow exclamation mark!
I turn Testsigning mode OFF and restart, remove motionjoy and any other software relating to the Sixaxis controller, disable and enable all devices with the yellow exclamation mark to get the devices back to normal, and restart.
To my great suprise, I still can connect to the Sixaxis via bluetooth and can still see the motionjoy controler and the HID compliant game controller, in short, the controller still work fine with windows 7 64 bit without testsigning mode on.
My problem now is: the only game I have tried with the bluetooth controller is Toy Story 3, but the game completely doesnt recognize that I have a gamepad connected.
What is going on?

Can't put controller to sleep

Hello, I followed your guide and I managed to get my controller working through the bluetooth adapter I bought. Now I read up above that I can use the PS button to activate and deactivate the controller to save battery power, but it's not working for me. Any suggestions? And if I can't get this to work, what alternative is there to charge it, can I plug it into the USB and it will automatically switch to USB mode?

You can click the "disconnect" button to remove the bluetooth connection. You can plug it into USB any time and it will automatically switch to USB mode.But there is a bug at the moment,that if you don't click the "disconnect" button there will be  two controllers in the device list and one no function.
