    Wait... Quick somebody get the PS3 Controller working on the Wii and the Wii Controller working on the PS3 while all at the same time installing some way to get the PS3 to read Wii Games... I can see this being advantageous... somehow. :o Playing Old Skool Games with a DS3 > The Wii Remote Alone. >.> *too poor for a Classic Controller*

    Guys I have already used this and use this for all my emulators. It will not work on Win/64 systems. However it works incredibly well wired with usb. I've been trying to get bluetooth going but it was almost impossible. However it works really well and if you have a extra Sixaxis laying around after replacing it with a DS3 why not use it?

    @Balance_In_Life: how do you make your emulators work with a controller. I want to use my goldeneye project64 emulator with my xbox 360 controller. is that possible?

    @laxman15: It's all depending on what emulators you are using. For the most part I stick with the old school stuff like ZSnes. There should be a button mapping guide somewhere in that program. Now the Xbox 360 controller being Windows compatible should just need a driver download.


    [support.microsoft.com]


    (Although Windows SHOULD be able to just auto recognize the controller.)


    That should allow Windows to see what it is. After that it's testing the controller in control panel and mapping it to your emulator.


    Ohhh and if you have a wireless controller you need to pick up the "official" wireless adapter for Windows.


    [www.amazon.com] 16 bucks for the reciever.

    This was done a long time ago. My roomate's been using his PS3 controller on his PC for over a year.


    I believe all this adds is rumble support -- but who uses that on PC games anyway?
