The SIXAXIS controller can be used on Windows PC.
As is the case with it under Linux(jimparis's post), it works as USB HID device that needs special initialization under Windows.
The instruction to make it to work properly is as follows:
1. Download and install the filter driver in libusb-win32 (libusb-win32-filter-bin-x.x.x.x.exe).
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78138
2. Download ps3sixaxis_en.zip from http://www.padc.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/~k1/ps3sixaxis_en.zip
3. Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.zip.
4. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
5. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once.
6. Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it seems to be sleeping.
I have done that, and its still flashing to say charging, it comes up as playstation 3 controller when I run my emulators so it i there, but it never assigns to my pc.
Can someone please try this and tell me how they did it and if it worked with them.
