Did this retard really change the language, and then give instructions in English?

To all who can't get their analogs to work,

all you have to do once it's paired and connected is go to

PLAYSTATION 3 mode > Options

Direct x Input (at the top)

DualShock 3

Save /changes

and then try that in game controller panel, and your analogs will now be working.

No idea why this works, but it does, and once it's working, you can change it to anymode.

Thumbs up if this worked for you, so others can see.

Is there any way to make it without a Bluetooth? Because when I install it, anything happens and it doesn't recognize the pad, so I can't charge the drivers.

I am trying this with a PS2 controller, and i cant get it to work? do ps2 controllers not work with it in generall?

@geeklord09 I studied the reasons behind the difficulty I have dealing with things, as opposed to blindly stating my support for one group or another based on some preconceived notion that a company gives a shit about my opinion any more than it does the hand holding my wallet.

Sony and Microsoft are like strippers, my friend, they only pretend to like you so they can have your cash.

[geeklord09]

@vman339 And how are you so wise in the ways of companies, computers, and thrid party support?

[vman339]

@geeklord09 You'd be surprised. It's not about windows, its about the drivers you install to it. Sony can make that driver, and Microsoft can't do squat to prevent them from it for their pledged third party support, so it really has more to do with Sony not caring compared to Microsoft being happy to service you with their Xbox controllers.

[geeklord09]

@vman339 You know not of which you speak. Microsoft has control over both the xbox and windows. Sony can't just tell Microsoft "Oh yea, add compatibility for our controllers to your next release please and thank you".

[vman339]

I find it really, really depressing how I have to do all this for a PS3 controller, but if I get a 360 controller it literally just loads up a fucking driver and says "have fun". Seriously, Sony, did you really think limiting your hardware THIS MUCH was a good idea?!
