Topic on Controller talk:DualShock 3

Correctly installating the Wrapper.

Were certain steps ommited? How can I be sure that the DS3 service is active. Do I have to leave ScpDriver.exe open, or will a service open up the next time I restart Windows?

I asked this seeing as I had to reformat, and I have no games installed at the moment.

The L2 and R2 triggers aren't popping up, but everything seems fine otherwise, all the buttons are mapped correctly, I'll have to test a game first. http://i.imgur.com/tgwJiwW.png

SCPDriver.exe has to be only ran once and closed. Then Dualshock 3 will always show up as standard XInput device even after reboot. Next time to use SCPDriver.exe is if you want to uninstall the service. However those files in "bin" folder has to be present somewhere and same place when it was installed so it could be really good to note as some may simply run the executable and delete files afterwards as after all, it's zipped file instead of installation file.

Bluetooth behaviour should be noted as well, as bluetooth driver does require dedicated bluetooth dongle. It should be unchecked if using controller as wired and wanting to use bluetooth for other stuff as well. Key note that controller doesn't work without extra software or hardware, because at least for me, default driver "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" shows up, but doesn't pick up any inputs.

Funny note: unplugging the controller automatically boots up my PS3.

I installed the drivers on the C:\ drive just in case, I'll hide the ScpServer folder, I'll add a note for it tomorrow.

Thanks.

There's some other crap I'll have to add too though. Also I think the best way of getting rid of MotioninJoy is to do a full reformat, seeing as it's pretty much malware, it just fucks too many things up.

Also I had unchecked the bluetooth checkbox, seeing as I don't have a bluetooth thingy anyway.

Oh I wonder if you maybe had to update your X360 drivers? I'm on Windows 8 so I didn't really have to. But I didn't test the controller with a game yet so I can't really judge, I could be wrong. Installing this thing on a clean Windows installation seems the best thing to do.

I can confirm that it indeed works just like 360 controller as long as it shows as one under windows controller settings. (Bit shame, I would like to see wrapper which fakes the controller as Dualshock 4 as more and more games are automatically supporting that and giving proper prompts.)

Best way to get rid of MotionInJoy is indeed full reformat, but that may be too extreme for some, so keeping note that you should remove it and link to removal instructions are really good.

I'm on 8.1 pro. I wouldn't worry too much about X360 drivers as latest version is yeaaars old and everything after Vista should automatically install them. Official forum post tells to download driver and install it like said in article right now, so it shouldn't be too much of an hassle to simply download and install them anyway. Confirmation from Windows 7 or even Vista users without drivers installed would be nice though as I remember at least 7 installing drivers automatically and those downloaded from microsoft site only gives program which will popup tiny window showing controller number when pressing home aka useless. However because instructions are othervice similar, maybe just make it a note instead of full own fixbox? Sample:

Yeah it should be mentioned somewhere that W8 and later have the 360 drivers integrated so noone tries to install Vista/7 ones for no reason.
EDIT: Oh my bad. Now it is :D
Kudos to whoever did that ;)

I tried it with GTA V and it works perfectly fine. Now I won't have to worry about my god damn PC BsODing if the controller suddenly disconnects.

This is something I only realized now, do I have to tell the user to plug in the controller?
