Anyone mind typing out an example mac address that you put into the pc program? I put my vita mac address in the program than add "1" next to it and the program doesnt let me click the update button.

You have to add 1 to the hex string, not add a number 1. If you took the time to look at the example in the first page, which was the only page before our reply, you can easily understand that if your hex string is XX:6A, by example, you have to write XX:6B.

Thanks a lot for the help, didn't realise that it was done that way. My ps3 controller is working now.

You have to add 1 to the number itself, not next to it. For example if your vita's MAC was 11:22:33:44:55 you would have to enter: 11:22:33:44:56.

EDIT: Nvm I've noticed that you have got it working already.

Still thank you for the help. I have all of your controller programs setup for my ps vita now. :)

After some more reverse engineering to the Vita's Bluetooth module, I've managed to get a DS3 connected. It's in an early stage (the LEDs are not set yet, so they will continue to blink), and it could be somewhat buggy.

Download: https://github.com/xerpi/ds3vita/releases

Enable the plugin:
  1. Add ds3vita.skprx to taiHEN's config (ux0:/tai/config.txt):
    Code:
    *KERNEL
    ux0:tai/ds3vita.skprx

  2. You need to refresh the config.txt by rebooting or through VitaShell.
Pairing the controller:
  1. Download this tool (or this other one if you want to compile it yourself)
  2. Connect your DS3 to the PC and open the tool
  3. Introduce the Vita's MAC address plus 1 to the tool (Settings -> System -> System information)
Using it once paired (see above):
  1. Just press the PS button and it will connect to the Vita
Note: If you use Mai, don't put the plugin inside ux0:/plugins because Mai will load all stuff you put in there...
hi can you help me? i dont know what is plugin where to put the data that i downloaded? need help :(

Is this for psv 1000 or psv 2000? can't control it even the led keep blinking. I'm using psv 1000 and ds3vita beta 3.

EDIT :
Only work for Official PS3 controller, not work for fake controller.

EDIT :
your plugin only work for PSV 2000. Please add "FOR PSV 2000", many people are confused.
btw you're amazing xerpi, i'm waiting for the PSV 1000 to be compatible.

Thanks.
Dude this definitely works on the 1000 vita, I've been using this plugin since it's launch and I only have a 1000 vita.
