DrDeath Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 i wrote a driver for the PS3 controller for Vista, XP, and 7(not tested on 7yet but since vista and 7 are nearly ideticle i assume it will work) it makes playing games on my laptop ten times easier MSFS9 is much better with the controller i will release an update when i can get the bluetooth wireless to work right with my laptop if your interested in the driver just ask ill gladly send it to you PM me your email and ill send it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 O_O Geek. I'm not really interested in using it (I don't even have a PS3 or controller), but how did you do it? In what programming language? And is it open-source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what programming language? And is it open-source? well i wrote a programed a program to listen to the usb port and plugged in the controller. i figured out how it was trying to communicate with the comp. when attached to usb the bluetooth wireless gets shut off and uses the usb only. i programed the driver in c++ i dont like to release my source. plz dr i have been lookin for one for ages can u plz send it to me PM your email and ill send it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 i dont like to release my source. Lol, i just had to quote that. Anyway, Can you do the same for a ps2 controller? Maybe email me it? Ps2 one if you make it that is, and i get the controller connected to my pc somehow. Are there ps2 controllers to connect to a pc? (pc as in personal computer which includes desktops and laptops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pc as in personal computer which includes desktops and laptops) well i have heard of a few hardware mods for ps2 controllers that make it usable for usb. but as far as i know it ruins the controller so i can only be used on usb. the ps2 controller has strange power requirerments that are much higher then usb. but if i can get ahold of a modded ps2 controller ill try to write a driver for it i found a ps2 controller to usb converter online http://www.nextag.com/playstation-2-usb-controller-adapter/stores-html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Why would you mutilate a PS2 controller to make it USB? Just get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-2-PC-USB-Gamepad-Converter/dp/B000F6BGXY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cirevam Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Buddy you should see some of the Nerf guns that my brothers and I modify. We've cut down on the dremel work, but I'm going to go crazy with my tools over winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Erm ya... I'll think about it all, but the prospect is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 that looks useful can i have a copy. will my ps3 still recognize my controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acmex Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It should, drivers do not modify the internal workings of the controller itself, only the computers response to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
