Hi was wondering if someone could tell me how to get the sticks to work on DS3. everything else seems to be working except them...i might be missing sumthing to be fair.
To connect it I just plugged it into PC, did all the glovepie stuff and then installed sixaxis support. im not really comftable with using xterm so not bothering editing keys, I only use it for gaming anyway!
if anyone can help it would be great! thankyou!!

Basically the left stick emulates the mouse and the right a scroll wheel. It's rather useless for most applications/games, but it will work for TeeWorlds and a few others. I've been trying to work out a way to make buttons to the joysticks, but the only documentation on the config file explains nothing of the joystick settings.

Install Smoku's Amiga emulator, uae4all and you will find that the analogue thumb sticks work in that emulator. I guess this means that an emulator has to be modified in order to support the analogue sticks on the DS3.

I have tried over and over to get my EBay purchased sixaxis controller working, but each time I try to hook up with N900, the bluetooth indicator on the N900 turns blue, sixaxis stops blinking but doesn't do the left to right night rider style lights, and then when I do anything on the N900, its bluetooth indicator goes white and (I assume) disconnects.

Is it possible that my ebay purchased controller is a fake?
Is anyone else having this problem? I have done everything correctly thru Ubuntu, Windows, etc.

Thanks

But you do have time to bug us to do your homework?

Flip to the first page and read the first post.

hey thanks for the reply and the instructions devildriven, however I am struggling to run Ubuntu on my laptop I keep getting the message 'Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO', i've tried googling this but I don't think theres a solution to this only a possibility that it could be because I am running Windows 7. If there's no other way I shall try and find a linux geek to help me with this. Thanks

Copy the sixpair.gz file from the USB stick to the Ubuntu desktop,

Open terminal from ubuntu apps (in the top left) the enter in the following codes pressing enter after each line

gzip -d ~/Desktop/sixpair.gz
cd ~/Desktop
sudo chmod +x sixpair
sudo ./sixpair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (This will be your N900 Bluetooth Address that you find in Settings > About)

This is it.

Next turn on N900 bluetooth and press PS3 button.

The lights will flash and then if its successful the will flash from left to right and back again night rider styley.

Job done!!
