Everyone Thank Break very much!
- First, of course, you need to download the files. Go to the download page and choose the files that correspond to your system -- 32bits for x86 and 64bits for x64.
- After the download is finished you'll end up with a .rar file, extract and run the .exe that's inside it. If you want to specify where to
install it, the first step will give you the option. Otherwise, just use the default (C:\Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3) to avoid any future issues. - If you have a 32 bit (x86) system, you can skip this step, but x64 users need to restart their computers now. Hold F8 upon startup and choose the "Disable Driver Signing Enforcement" option (keep in mind that you will have to do this every time you restart your computer if you want to use unsigned drivers. I feel that this is currently the easiest and most simple method to do this), then do the next step.

- Use USB to connect your PS3 controller. Regardless of whether it's a SIXAXIS or DUALSHOCK3, WINDOWS will install it's own drivers. You can even see it in the Game Control Devices in the Control Panel, but it
won't work. I'm not actually sure if Sony did that on purpose, but in
any case.. everything looks normal, it just won't work. - Start->All Programs->MotioninJoy->Install USB Driver Right
click and use the "Run as administrator" option. After several seconds,
Notepad will pop up and give you the install status. If the last line
is “SUCCESS: installed package C:\Program
Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\drivers\MijUfilt.inf.” then the drivers installed
correctly. (Note that if you want to use a different USB port, you will
have to repeat this step.) - First hit the PS button to wake up the controller (you will have to do that every time you turn off the computer or disconnect the USB cable)
then navigate to Control Panel->Devices and Printers->Game
Controllers. You can press buttons here and see them reacting. The
analog isn't going to work just yet, don't worry. - Go to Start->All Programs->MotioninJoy->DS3 TOOL Here you can choose between 4 profiles and the vibration function.
- Digital Gamepad(Dpad,without joystick) Digital set up, Dpad works off of the X/Y axis. This is like the PS1 controller, works well for soccer games.
- Analog Gamepad1(POV,Joysticks)Dpad is set to POV/hat switch, the 2 analog sticks are set up on the X,Y, Z and RZ axes. This is like a PS2 controller and is currently the most used.
- Analog Gamepad2(POV,Joysticks,Analog Triggers)Dpad is set to POV/hat switch, the 2 analog sticks are set up on the X,Y, Z and RZ axes, L2 and R2 are also on an axis. This works well for racing games and is similar to the XBOX 360 controller.
- Analog Gamepad3(POV,Joysticks,Analog Triggers,Motion sensor) This is similar to Gamepad2 with the added effect of motion sensors. At the moment it's not very practical.
- Emulate Xinput Imitates the XBOX 360 controller. Is currently greyed out because it's still unusable.
- Enable vibration Enables vibration. [duh]
- Enable Option Applies the above settings.
- If you only want to use USB, you should be able to operate it normally from here.
- Bluetooth instruction.

Install USB Driver Right Click?
Part five says: Start->All Programs->MotioninJoy->Install USB Driver Rightclick and use the "Run as administrator". However, where is "Install USB Driver Right" I don' see that option. I see run as administrator but nothing about installing USB drivers. I think it might because I'm using the current version. I really don't know though...So confused :(
Ps3 Pad
Best thing to do is Download the driver software for the Xbox 360 controller, after install plug in ps3 controller (windows will install drivers for pad if it hasn't already this isn't a problem) run motion joy, click "Xbox 360 controller emulator" enable and hey presto perfect (when you press the ps button the Xbox thing appears on screen for help n what not and you can run 4 pads at same time because all this is installed with the Xbox drivers)
need help!!!
i bought two ps3 powerA controllers for my pc, everything works great but both controllers say they are controller one... any help on how to change that.
HELP! Im stuck
So i have followed all of these steps with my ps3 controller. I have motionjoy installed and in the controller setup all of my buttons are responded to. I pressed enable in the main section however my computer doesnt respond to any other motions made by the controller beyond the setup. Does anyone have any suggestions?
DS3 Tool
The problem I'm having is that I can't get the analog working. On the tutorial it says to launch "DS3 Tool", but when I launched it, it says DS3_Tool has stopped working. I tried restarting the computer and reinstalling the program, but no luck. It still says "DS3_Tool" has stopped working.
Outsourcing Web Design
I'd recomend in this case the most incorrupt amongs dissertation writing where you can order custom content.Thanks for the useful information. Definitely something I must look into! I know I’ve been on the website before to do a quick look, but this time I will take a proper read as it sounds very useful.
ps3 controller
ok so everything works just not at the same time. either i use the dpad with the buttons or i use the analog wit the buttons. obviously this is very annoying so does anyone know how i can get the dpad and the analog to work at the same time??? -NewB-
Is there any way to use two
Is there any way to use two controllers at the same time?
if you take a look at the ds3
if you take a look at the ds3 tools under profiles where you select the button options it says "connected game controller(s)" which indicates the possibility of multiple controls but i have no idea if it actually works. have you tried connecting more than one controller?? if it works its probably very easy to work with.
A little help:
I dont have an option to install driver on step 5. All i have is:ds3 tool, homepage, and uninstall
