Maybe after BtSix 1.6 :)

Hey 89ron this is not a demand or even a request really, I am just asking out of curiosity. How is the multiple controller code coming along or are you taking a break from that to work the single controller bugs out.
I remember the last beta version had a wierd problem with Dual shock controllers whereby sometimes they would constantly vibrate.

Anyways again I would like to say great job on your end.
Now we just need someone to write a program similar to ppjoy that accepts directinput rumble and outputs it to BTSIX then most programs that support rumble would be covered.
Ahh if only I had the patience for programming

Actualy i'm on it but i have some problems with Rumble and Multiplayer code.

For directinput Rumble code, i don't think finish it because i want start BtSix Vista 32&64bit version.

Well i wish you all the best with the multiplayer code.
I know a bunch of people will be elated to hear about possible Vista 64 support. Do you have help with your coding or are you taking all this on by yourself.
I know this might sound very basic but based on my past experiences please make sure you keep at least two separate copies of your code.
I would feel very bad for you if a hard disk crash were to make you lose all your efforts.

89ron thank you for you development on this driver,

Just yesterday I read about that PS3 Pad, can use with the PC, inmediatly bought a Pad and test this AWESON invention.

Thank you for the driver.

Still i dont get to test this pad via Bluetooth, becasue of time, this night i will try to use it, via BlueTooth,

I have a question, The sensivility of the pad is working? or no yet?

Thank you again

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 3:45 am

What exactly do you mean by the 'sensitivity' of the pad.
If you are referring to Motion Sensing then yes it works but there is a special way to set it up in ppjoy. You would have to browse and read the previous pages to see what others recommend to get it to work. I never tried it myself since I figured not many older games would have much use for it.

eighta · Post by **eighta** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 4:15 am

Yes, about the motion, when I incline de pad, this will generate a movment.

And another thing, sesivility of button, that are 8 bits sensivility, that is too implemented??

Another Question:

Is mandatory (HCI & LMP must be > 3.00 in "Firmware Information" )

Is someone, know how to see de HCI & LMP version, of my Bluetooth device, please tell me!

Thank you!

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 4:41 am

Well button sensitivity basically works the problem is no games on pc really support it as far as i know (I am open to correction).

remap the up and down commands in ppjoy, not sure but it might work

seam · Post by **seam** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 4:19 am

nothing you do in ppjoy or xpadder fixes this. other people in this thread apparently have used their 6axis with gears of war... how did they get past the inverted left stick problem?

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:16 am

My Gears of War worked fine without any special configuration. I dunno maybe it's a bug in the game itself my game is unpatched so i don't know if any updates introduced bugs

seam · Post by **seam** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 1:17 pm

there must be something you did... i never patched my gears. just installed it and right off the bat the problem is there. you are the first person i have heard of who has successfully used the sixaxis(or other psx style) controller with gears of war. here are other people with the same problem.

no editing of .ini files or remapping using any program has worked. dont mean to drag this subject out, but if anyone has any ideas i would be grateful. thanks.

Seam have you tried my POV mapped to buttons ppjoy config on page 8?
That is the only thing I have done different from most setups.

Dear 89ron, your 1.5C version works perfectly! I really appreciate your efforts... As a positive comment, from my point of view, the only weak item is the missing of multiplayer option over bluetooth with DS3 (at least for two!), but anyway, we'll still waiting!

Hi everyone,

if some can help me

I am getting this error

Why this happen to me.

How can i fix this?

Thanks

Eighta, try this solution that "rypaul" have already posted, it worked perfectly for me!

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

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
---UnQte---

Hope this works for you too!

I again,

Please help me to configure correctly the DS3 pad.

This is my situation.

1. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Library
[vcredist_x86.exe]

2. plug my Bluetooth dongle.

3. Update the drivers for the Bluetooth dongle.

4. install the Lib-USB Win32.

5. plug the DS3 pad, but in this moment, windows vista install the pad by default and add the pad to the panel control. Like this:

But when I push the button "Properties", for test the buttons, none of the buttons work.

Later I test one application called:

PLAYSTATION(R)3 SIXAXIS initiator for windows
by Keiichi AOKI ([email protected]), 2006

And later in this moment, the DS3 work.

5. install the PPJoy and create "Virtual Joystick"

And on the control panel, add the second Joystick, but this do not respond to the control actions (pushing the buttons).

In this point I get stuck, because the BtSix open, but, this work with the another Pad (PPJoy).

If someone know the solutions to this problem please, let me know!

Thanks in advance!

man i really appreciate it, but it doesnt work for me. not just in gears of war either. i check the invert option and even in xpadder or anything else for that matter it doesnt change the axis. can anyone else verify the new invert options work?

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:27 pm

Replying to eighta. After you plug the usb cable into the gamepad you must then open btsix and click address then unplug the gamepad and press the button on the pad to connect.

Ignore the Playstation3 gamepad option that appears in the joystick control panel when you plug in the usb cable btsix does not use it.

Make sure you see btsix responding to the gamepad first then check the ppjoy joystick 1 under the control panel and see if the buttons respond.

Also make sure NOT to run that other PS3 initiator program at any point.

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:31 pm

Replying to seam.

Could you post a picture or link to a picture of your ppjoy configuration.
Do the analog sticks work correctly in every other application?

Xpadder doesn't work with Xinput mode, don't use it.

eighta · Post by **eighta** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 11:58 pm

Alright, this night i will do that rypaul, but let me tell you something,

when i install the PPJoy and Add one Controller, this appears on control panel, with de PlasStation3 Pad that windows install by default,

Later, on the control panel->joystick, neighter of both, work, when i push some button, this no work. this situations is nomal?

Thank you in advance

rypaul · Post by **rypaul** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 2:19 am

Before you check the control panel joystick section you have to make sure you open btsix with the controller disconnected from the usb cable then press the playstation button in the middle of the controller. If you do not see any response from btsix then press disconnect in btsix and try the playstation button on the controller again. If you still do not see anything happening in btsix then either you have not paired the bluetooth receiver with the gamepad properly or the receiver might not be compatible. As i said earlier if i could see a shot of your screen with your BtSix and ppjoy configs maybe i can figure something out.
Also ignore the PlayStation3 Pad you see in the joystick section it is not important.

I had the same experience when I played Gears of war with Btsix 1.4 version. I had to reverse Y-axis in the ppjoy config. Now, with 1.5, all problem solved and works just fine. You don't really have to do anything with ppjoy. Just use default setting for ppjoy except set the number of Axies to 5. Then run Btsix 1.5 and play Gears of war.

ill try that jedikwon, good to hear someone else using btsix has had this problem, heh.
