I have a little problem, I installed the sixaxis-support on my N900, and works pretty good with the controller but, the only problem is that " i cant get the controller to work on my PS3 anymore"

I think that the sixasis controller was flashed with the N900 MAC address, overwriting the one for the PS3, can you guys tell me how can I flash it again to make it work with my PS3?

I would appreciate any help... Im very frustrated...

I already tried to push the button on the back, but is still no working...

Just connect it with the normal USB cable directly with the PS3 and press the PS button so it get paired with it again, in case anything went wrong just use the reset button on the controller ->

Then connect it again with the PS3 (per USB cable) and press the PS button, it will work for sure then :)

a big thanks to you as always for everything......but I thought there was a few things not on your page, and I thought it would be easier if it were all clearly written in one place.. Im a new maemo/linux user due to the N900, as I'm sure a lot of people are. I needed help and Im very computer literate; imagine how someone thats a "PC noob" in general would go about trying to do this. They'd probably be put off trying altogether.. :) its all about helping, sharing and learning. kudos smoku,

Re: Using PS3 SixAxis controller with N900

Your post misleads people that Windows machine, some obscure drivers and file editing is required.

Which in fact isn't and sixpair program is way easier and obvious than the procedure you described.
