How to get your PlayStation 3 Dual Shock 3 to work on windows Vista (Because Vista Sucks!)

First thing as I said in the video is to click on this link first:
http://www.ps3-hacks.com/forums/about2589.html

Inside of that forum page click on the ps3hacks file 12 what ever thing... Download that zip rar what ever file and extract it onto your computer. Put those files into a folder named DS3. Inside of the DS3 folder put those same three files into a folder name DUAL SHOCK ACTIVATOR. You will know why in a second as shown in the video.

Once you have done what the video has told you go ahead and click on this second link for Joy To Key

http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm

(yes those are spaces in the link. If it is messed up please highlight the entire link and paste it into a new web address bar. Then delete every %20 and replace it with a space input. Yes the space bar.)

Once you have downloaded the JoyToKey program go ahead and run it. You will notice that it has several different buttons mapped out on it. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

Up Down left and Right are not the D-Pad buttons. As shown in the video do a guess and check using the control panel-game controllers-PS3-properties to figure out what button is what.

Hopefully this video got your DS3 to be properly calibrated and working on your POS Windows Vista OS machine.... If not then just say VISTA SUCKS and move on....

  • I have everything until the Joy2Key part. Can u show how to enter the keys, cause it won't let me enter PS3 buttons.

  • @ZifziTheGreat When using Joy2Key you need to see what button is which through the windows gamepad manager. I named out the buttons in the video so on Joy2Key figure out which button is which and put it in. There is a lot of settings to go through but I am sure you can play "match up."

  • is the 1 2 3 4 suppoed to light up and be solid? cuz for me it just stay blank

  • @iakurass1 Did you follow the video correctly?

  • how do u assing the right anolouge so you can look up, down.......

  • @kenanabdu If you are trying to use it on a shooting game you need to go into the gamepad settings of the game and assign it in the game itself to joypad one. then it will work. You won't need to use the Joy2Key program if you do it that way.

see all

  • vista... whyy... it keeps downloading into a format that it can reconize.. and in all tht chaos it keeps thinking that it is to be open with widoser media player.

    o please if anyone knows anything about this jaged edged laptop please do tell me how to fix this.

  • FUCK! it detected it once before and configure wouldnt work but now its not working.

  • Hey guys, I figured out what you have to do at joy2key, so I hope this helps.

    You don't press the buttons on your controller. You open up both joy 2 key and the Game Controllers Menu. Now press a button, how about left. So it would (atleast on my computer) flash the number 8. So then, you go to joy 2 key, and then look for the part named "Button 8". Then you simply click on one of the things that say "disabled" and hit the left arrow on your keyboard.

  • do you know if it'll work for windows 7 64bits?

    if it doesn't then do you know of any video that teaches how to do the setup?

  • @TheConSept yes i did now it is solid but the buttons do not work lol

  • @TheConSept thanck you so much for that
