I've not modified anything manually and I don't think I've downloaded any apps to change it.

Is your controller genuine Sony SIXAXIS?

It's an original Six axis but I think there is something wrong with it. Every time I plug it into my XP laptop it says device not recognised. Also it doesn't do anything when I press the PS button now, even after resetting it.

For Windows Users

Windows 7 and Vista users may have problems using Home edition OS's, especially with 64-bit editions.
Being able to run XP mode helps a lot. If you cannot, go here.




Installation/Config:

1. Ensure you have a N900, a PS3 SixAxis controller (DS3 will work) and a USB cable to plug controller into your PC

2. On your N900, install "sixaxis-support"
(you may get "Operation Failed" message, do not worry)

Xiaoka Maemo Extras Repo
http://codex.xiaoka.com/apt/
dist = leave blank
components = free non-free

or on N900 in microb broswer tap:


3. on PC install libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1 (32-Bit Machines ONLY)
use this version (you may try newest version but Im unsure if it works)
64 BIT USERS GO HERE WARNING: THIS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK

4. on PC install GlovePie
use this version (you may try newest version but Im unsure if it works)

5. on PC open file in notepad:
X:/*GlovePie Directory*/SixaxisScripts/n900.pie

6. go to this section:

sixaxis.BluetoothMAC = "xx:xx"

and replace the xx:xx with your phones Bluetooth address
(to find, go to: settings > general > about product)

7. connect SixAxis controller to PC

8. on PC, run GlovePie

9. Go to File > Open > X:/*GlovePie Directory*/SixaxisScripts/n900.pie

10. click the "Run >" button, wait a few seconds then press the controllers Connect button a few times

11. close GlovePie and disconnect controller



.

Gonna take the plunge and buy a PS3 controller tomorrow. Rather upsetting as I have a Wii with 4 motes sitting right next to me.. but the Wiicontrol application is such rubbish.

Don't suppose you'd wanna take a look at it Smoku? I'd almost buy you a Wiimote to see it working properly, with decent keymaps and working nunchuck/classic controller support (4 buttons just isn't practical for most emulators)

Yesterday I borrowed a sixaxis from a friend and it worked great with the N900! Thank you! But today I bought myself a DS3 controller and are having some problems. The DS3 connects and the keys are mapped (so far no problem). But when connected it seems like the user interface of the N900 responds slowly. I'm barly able to move around in the menus and when trying to click on icons or menu options I need to double-click to see some action. The scrolling also behaves odd.

- I noticed that the DS3 connects as the second controller, i.e. not using the same key layout as the sixaxis I used yesterday.
- This controller is brand new and it has never been connected to a PS3.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks, macke.

Try rebooting your N900.
It's normal that the controller connects as second one. It's a race condition in udev handling that is not worth fighting for.

I have tried rebooting roughly 5-6 times now and every time I connect the DS3 it has the key map of controller 2. However as I see it this is not a big issue. I can easily remap the keys in DrNokSnes.

What's troubling me is the strange behavior of the N900's user interface when connected. It's almost impossible for me to select options in scroll-down lists (i.e. when doing the key mapping in DrNokSnes). When I try to select such an option/button it scrolls away. Also when scrolling down a list it's like the scroll function live it's own life. Actually it seems like all GUI components w/o scroll-function is working ok.
