Everyone Thank  Break very much!

  1. 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.
  2.  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.
  3. 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.windows 7 advanced boot options
  4. 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.

  6. 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.)

  7. install usb driver

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

I figured it out.  Yes you need to be in test mode for it to work correctly (for me anyway).  Here is a nice little app that lets users switch between test mode and normal with a click and a restart: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo

Can't find motion-in joy USB GamePad at device manager

My analog won't work!

i have deleted and reinstalled like 3 times now my analog sticks won't work no matter what i try how do i fix it????

you have to run DS3_tool and

you have to run DS3_tool and select one working mode.

i did that

i did that thats why im wondering why its not working

same problem

yea i cant seem to get the analog working too. ive got windows 7, everything else is working but some of the buttons have seemed to have a new configuration? so when i apply the settings i want in ds3 tools the button i set will actually set for a different button. so ill set the Space Key to the Circle button but instead the Triangle button acts as the Space Key. :(

R2+L2 Issues FIXED

Hi Everyone, just like a lot of you I had some issues with R2 & L2 as they wouldn't work. I managed to activate them by checking "Analog Gamepad 1 (POV,joysticks)" instead of selecting "Analog Gamepad 3 (POV,joysticks,Motion sensor)" in the DS3 Tool. Everything seems to work fine. Even Sixaxis. Hope it helps ! And Enjoy =) Sey

DS3tool

It all went fine until the last step. I cannot run DS3tool when I press it nothing happens im on windows xp 32bit

Re: DS3tool

Make sure you have .NET Framework 3.5 installed, as the DS3 Tool requires it.

stuck at a brick wall and i dont know where to go from here.
