This is a how-to for those of us that do not have a Xbox controller. It takes some work but it works...
First you need to download 2 files.
1) MotionJoy drivers v6.0003 64 bit (32 bit)
2) Local Driver Files
1) Plug in your PS3 controller
Plug your PS3 controller into your PC with the USB cord.
2) Install the MotioninJoy v6 Program
The next step is to install the MotioninJoy program that is in the first archive you downloaded. This doesn’t install drivers, but rather the app that allows you to manage your PS3 controller and drivers. Don’t run it yet!
3) Extract the Local Files to the Install Location
Before running the program you just installed, you must first extract the local files that are in the second archive. Extract them to the main install directory (default Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\).
4) Run MotioninJoy
Next, you can run MotioninJoy. Go to the “Local” section, selected from the top menu:
5) Install the Windows PS3 Controller Drivers
Next you need to install the Windows drivers for the PS3 controller. Select “Install” in the second menu bar. This is what the Install screen looks like before the drivers are installed:
Select the controller, then click “Load Driver”. The program will then install signed 64 bit drivers for you. It will look like this if it ran correctly:
At this point, the controller is responsive, and works perfectly as a standard gamepad. However, there is one more step you might need to take in order to have your PS3 controller play in as many Windows games as possible.
6) Enable XBOX 360 Mode
To allow your PS3 controller to work in Windows games that only look for XBOX 360 drivers, you need to enable XBOX 360 mode. This option is found in the main MotioninJoy screen, in Local mode: Go into Options and enable this.
And you’re done! You can test the vibration settings and other things.
