Hi, last 2 days ive been trying to make my ps3 controller work with my laptop so i can play emulators such as SNES and N64.
Ive followed countless processes on the internet and have spent many hours into this, however, even though i follow the step by step process exactly my controller just acts like it is not plugged in, in the configuration of the emulator to set the controls it just doesn't work.
I know it is possible to work as i have seen many videos.

Here is what i am using (if it is important at all)
Dualshock 3 Sixaxis PS3 controller
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

If someone with experience with this could help me get this to work then i would be extremely greatful seeing as this is basically my last hope.
Thanks in advance

  • Veho @ Veho:
    I gave this homeless guy $5 and an old lady behind me told me he's just going to use it for drugs, so I confronted him and asked where I could also get drugs for $5
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The leading expert on drug abuse and drug rehabilitation in our country recently said in an interview that IT people and developers are all on cocaine (statistics have shown). So I thought I could score some, but apparently none of my coworkers or my wife's coworkers or our friends and their coworkers are on cocaine and don't know where to get some primo shit. Which leads me to believe the statistic is somewhat skewed.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Turns out all the cocaine is actually consumed by one single guy and he's messing up the averages.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Both in cocaine use, and in the KPI.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    "Why can't Mike be more like a human being and not a walking brick of cocaine?"
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Mike be like...

    Xanax is a bit better than coke but gotta murder a few doctors before they actually give it to you over here
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Oh public freak outs? Take this in two to three months you should notice a difference
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Xanax is the opposite of what I need.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well then just buy monster energy and mix it with meth
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I already do that.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    The 12oz ones or 32oz ones.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Do you expect me to do unit conversion this early in the year?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Isn't the year already almost over?

    Apparently it's 17 fluid ounces.
