I had no idea that the PS3 joystick would work on my PC until I stumbled across this little driver that enables PS3 joystick use. So far I've only tried it on a Super Nintendo Emulator and it works flawlessly. I've often complained about PC controllers being not as good as console controllers but if this works for all my games then goodbye Microsoft Sidewinder. Along with the fact that it works with Vista is AMAZING.

EDIT: I did this and it was working great, however after a day of not playing it quit working. I worked for 2 hours trying to figure it out. finally i found my solution.be sure to wait untill the 4 lights on the controller quit blinking before you run the ps3sixaxis_en. then when you configure it, if it isnt responding push the ps button once, you may have to be far away from your ps3 or turn it off before you play, pushing the ps button will otherwise obviously turn on the ps3.
