Dear 89ron, I really appreciate your effort so far but, do you have something new about BtSix 1.5?? I would like to connect two DS3 via bluetooth, I've been waiting almost three months since your announcement and I feel I'm going crazy!!! Thanks in advance!
Actually, i found a easy way for implented Rumble/Vibration, but some functionality are disabled:
- no gyro.
- only 2 analog button.
- only XInput games are compatible.
In this way, DS3 and sixaxis are recognize like 360 gaming pad.

If you want use sixaxis/DS3 with PC or PS3, you must pairing once each other with USB cable.

Need help

Post by someone »

After looking trough nearly all the page, I find that several persons have a problem which I also have. After pairing the Sixaxis to my PC, BtSix detects that is is connected, registers buttons press and tilting the controller, but PP Joy doesn't and the windows gamepad utility (in control panel) neither.

It seems that the controller is not paired with the PP Joy virtual controller.

How can I resolve this problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

BtSix 1.5
http://bqron.free.fr/PS3/BT/BtSix%201.5.zip

For Gamers: - Rumble/Vibration mode. (Beta)
For Dev/Students: - Share data with via Dynamic Link Library.


-1- Rumble mode works only with Xinput games.
-2- If buttons and Joysticks doesn't respond with Xinput games, use Xpadder.
-3- I have test Rumble Mode only on "GRID" (demo) and "Lost Planet : Extreme Condition" (demo).

Enjoy :)

Hello~ First of all, I have to thank you for bringing this wonderful program.
I'm using BtSix1.4a version everyday and I'm really happy with it.

But this 1.5 version doesn't seem to work on my computer. It just shows follwing error.

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application.

I don't know what is the problem. If you can give me a solution, it will be very helpful. Thank you.

Download and install this to fix the application error
The program requires new Visual C++ libraries

Unfortunately I cannot get rumble to work
Lost planet (Full version) does not work at all and GRID causes the controller to rumble slightly as soon as the game starts and continues until you exit. The controller does not seem to respond to any rumble commands from the game. Most games i try say either they cannot detect a rumble compatible controller or an Xbox compatible gamepad. Anybody who gets rumble to work please let me know.

i registered just to came by and drop a line of my gratitude, thanks so much! i waited for months for btsix 1.5 to be released
now, my feedback:

the best feature, AUTO PAIRING! no need for the usb cable anymore, just open btsix, press PS button, and you are good to go!

the drawback, i was unable to make the rumble work, i also installed XINPUT pluging for the project64 but nothing...

I agree this program has definately done wonders for my gaming life.
Also my wife is very happy that I can play my games and snuggle with her in bed at the same time.

Thanks a million 89ron, good luck with working out the bugs...

Hi, xinput games won't detect any input from the gamepad. And xpadder isn't working in Bionic commando because it forces you to use controller 1 as a gamepad.

Thanks for this great program 89ron.

Do you plan in the future to have support for vista x64? Iam sure a lot of user would like to know.

Well things are definately improving.
GRID now recognises the controller properly but for some reason on my PC the vibrations when you are driving actually activates the buttons on the controller. So basically if i am stationary everything works fine with steering and such but as soon as I start moving all hell breaks loose. When rumble is activated it seems to activate all the buttons. Same thing happens in Gears of War. Almost like the rumble info is looping back to the controller output.

Problem solved by plugging out usb dongle and plugging it back in

Ok I fixed my Grid problem i had to unplug and replug my usb dongleSo my GRID is now perfect no more uncontrolable shakey crap
Ok so far Devil May Cry 4 works fine as well as Gears of War

I have never used an XBOX 360 controller so I cannot say how accurate the vibrations are compared to the 360 but it definately is shaking my hands at what would seem to be the appropriate moments
