Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a PlayStation 3 controller connected via USB as a game controller. When I plug it in, it is identified as a HID Compliant game controller and a USB Human Interface Device. However, the controller does not work in any games, and the four lights on the controller blink for about a minute and shut off. I believe this is because the controller is not being sent the same data as it would be in a playstation. Does anyone know where to get device drivers, or programs to use the PlayStation 3 SIXAXIS controller in a computer?

Thanks for the link, that program seems to have worked. The system and my games now reconize the controller, and I can now use the controller for computer games.
