Plus there are tons and tons of Wiimote implementations. The Wii uses BlueTooth as well, and Nintendo doesn't really go out of their way to make their hardware difficult to use. You might also look at hacks for Wii-remotes. This thread is really about access the PS3 controller in general and a specific discussion on HID would PC negotiations can be a bit picky though, which is why I always just use a wiredĬontroller - consoles tend to be across the room, but PC's tend to be right by your side.įor help on accessing HID Devices in VB.Net, start by searching the forums and then post a new question with any issues you run into if necessary. Its just a bit more configuration and you need a BlueTooth reciever on the PC. The wireless controllers can be used as well.

To begin with since i've done some conversions manually but it's so much I don't know what all I need out of what files.

which explains some in C++ but does anyone know similar in VB for access to HID devices, the code doesn't translate well & I don't understand what I need from it to convert Guide button indicating controller number as well as access to the guide button which appears to be missing using EVERY other method I know about. Though so the wired version of an xbox controller that does work isn't good for them to use.īy what I see even the xbox controller is HID compliant & so is the PS3 controller, you can get all buttons, the movement sensors in the ps3 controller, sticks, access to vibration, and on the xbox controller end work the lights around the controllers

It's not for me, in the early stages before development completion I am sharing with others but they don't have an xbox, controller or the wireless receiver or play & charge kit or other charging method for such a controller, they want to use wireless Reed Kimble - "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all" you might have to make do with what you can find online if other folks are saying it works for them, all The $25 cost of a USB XBox controller makes it pretty unattractive for anyone to go through this much effort to make a PS3 controller work on a PC.

most likely any custom driver would also have a custom API. This driver also needs to be compliant with XInput if you wanted to use that API. (and would have to be written in C++ I'd imagine). That would be a pretty serious undertaking and would require some expert level windows api knowledge I know you said that you don't want random third-party drivers, but I don't think you realize what would be involved with "just creating" your own driver.

Then you would need to learn how to access HID input from VB.Net (not exactly trivial).Ī quick search turns up a number of blogs that can either point you toward the HID capabilities of the controller, or some custom-written driver libraries. You will need a driver of some sort unless you want to use whatever functionality you can get out of a generic HID Input interface.
