HELP, VERY URGENT: I have successfully connected my sixaxis to my N900 but for some unknown reasons, it only works with Mupen64. My phone does not react when pressing the sixaxis buttons and I can't use it with other programs than Mupen64.
EDIT: I don't know what i did, but it works now!

Seriously it's really easy, trust me. I had no experience of using linux before i did this and once you get your head around it and make sure you use the right commands, it's a breeze.
Install sixad and SIXAXIS(TM) Support from the app manager.
Download and burn the live cd, Option 2 from here - http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Download the sixpair.gz file from here - http://tomasz.sterna.tv/uploads/2010/02/sixpair.gz - and save it to USB stick
Copy the sixpair.gz file from the USB stick to the Ubuntu desktop,
Open terminal from ubuntu apps (in the top left) the enter in the following codes pressing enter after each line
gzip -d ~/Desktop/sixpair.gz
cd ~/Desktop
sudo chmod +x sixpair
sudo ./sixpair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (This will be your N900 Bluetooth Address that you find in Settings > About)
This is it.
Next turn on N900 bluetooth and press PS3 button.
The lights will flash and then if its successful the will flash from left to right and back again night rider styley.
Job done!!
This worked a charm for me and i did it this way because i don't have internet access on my PC. There are other option as mentioned and you could also try using the steps here as previously posted - http://tomasz.sterna.tv/2010/02/play...is-controller/
Good luck and hope you manage to get it working! While i'm here more thanks to Smoku for making this happen, it really is amazing!

i tried to use glovepie to do the pairing of the sixaxis with my n900, but the application is not working - i don't see any GUI - it just starts a process which i have to close with task manager.
i tried several versions and same behavior on my x64 windows 7, so i did the same on another machine with XP x86 and got an error message when starting it - "glovepie The application failed to initialize properly".
how can i fix this? is there another way for pairing?
i was trying to follow the guide at "http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=517534#post517534" - i got to the stage where my windows recognizes the joystick, but i cannot do the pairing.
my bluetooth is active and visible on the n900.

Thanks to those who helped me out. I will say to anyone struggling with this, the linux boot method works very well and wasn't so painful.
N900.... thick like computer
