Ok i read about some can't get the ps3 controller work on his/her nokia N900.
So i gonna make a easy guide to connect it without any hard times!

What do you need:
Nokia N900
A PS3 controller
A calbe to connect ps3 controller to pc
Internet connection on phone and pc (DUH!)
Root acces on Nokia N900
Extras-Devel repository
DS3 Tool
sixaxis-support
A PC with windows xp,vista or 7

Add Extras-Devel repository follow the instuctions HERE!
When you done this go to application manager on you're nokia N900 and search for ''rootsh'' and install it.

When you done this go to terminal and type the following text.
Code:
sudo gainroot or root
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install sixaxis-support
When you do this close terminal and reboot phone

Then Download DS3 Tool Version 0.5.0002.
Click Here for x86 version
Click Here for x64 version
Follow the instuctions on the installer.
Then connect you're PS3 controller and start ''DS3 Tool''
It will come to a screen to load drivers to this when a warining pop up of unsinged drivers just click ok or whatever it says and go on with it.

Click Load when you get this screen!

When you do this you come in a screen with some controller info etc like this:

Note 1: It will you ask to update you can do this but it is not needed.
Note 2: Look @ Connected Game controller[s] if it says no controller you did something wrong reinstall DS3 Tool.

Now go to BluethootPair.
You will see a screen like this one:


Now you're almost done!
Go to you're nokia N900 and go to settings and then product infomation.
There you will find you're bluethoot mac adres.
Write this one on notepad on pc.
Tjen we still in this screen on pc:

Click on custom mac.
This is the tricky part most can't get this to work but its easy!
example:
You're nokia N900 bluethoot mac is: 1A:2B:3C:4D:5F:00
Then type is in reverse on custom mac like this!
00:5F:4D:3C:2B:1A
Then click on pair now and you're done!
Disconnect via quickestart.

Activate Bluetooth on N900 (Visible: Yes)
Press PS button on controller
Wait for the SixAxis light to stop flashing
To disconnect, turn off Bluetooth on phone

Now i hope this will help many of you who couldt get this to work and if you get it to work thansk to me thank me then
Greatz RDilus and enjoy!!!

Now that we have USB Host Mode, we could also build sixpair.c for Maemo and use it to set the target Bluetooth address (by connecting the Sixaxis controller via USB to the N900) without the need for the Windows machine.
