dreamGEAR Arcade Fighter Classic Pad: ps3 pcb *ps3slim capable with usb hub*

I could only suggest you try other sixaxis/dualshock drivers. Motionjoy was necessary for these to work right for me on 32bit XP.

Personally tried Motioninjoy for Vista 64 bit and 7 64 bit. Nothing. Only worked for me on my desktop XP 32 bit.

I recently had a problem with my friend’s Windows 7 64 bit laptop but fortunately I found the solution to this. follow these instructions carefully :slight_smile:

The most important part is the pressing of F8 on startup to disable digital signature enforcement and you have to do this EVERYTIME you want to use your joysticks

I got it working on my vista 32bit with Xpadder and the sixaxis driver.

Well, i tried it, but no luck. I even edited the driver .inf to include the hardware ID of the controlelr itself, but still nothing. Thanks anyway. Let me guess, it was a sixaxis controller, wasn’t it?

Anyway, if you guys think of anything else, I greatly appreciate it. Even hard modding the controller isn’t out of the way, it could be fun to play with a soldering iron again.

Either way, thanks for the responses.

Just did a Google search & your post showed up as one of the 1st one’s. I know this is an old thread but just wanna say thx for the info! When I read the description of needing a PS3/USB-adapter I was like, “What the deuce?!?..I thought this was already a USB-based item!” But then I read your post & clicked on that link so it made sense, LOL!

I’ve got a dreamGEAR arcade fighter micro & it works fine w/o a USB-hub on a ps3 slim. I mention this b/c all of dreamGEAR’s ps3 controllers & joysticks supposedly requires a USB-hub on a ps3 slim (at least that’s what it says on their official webpage). I emailed them to inquire about this prior to receiving the stick (since they said to do so on their website) but I’ve yet to receive a response since last week. FWIW, my ps3 slim has the latest official firmware.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I didn’t wanna start up another thread with the same kind of topic in mind.

I have this controller for the PS3, and it works without a USB hub, it comes with one though, but it isn’t necessary.

I like this controller a lot, there’s just one thing about it i’d like to modify if possible.

and that’s the D-pad, I wish it would feel more like a traditional d-pad, and by that I mean, I wish it wasn’t so loose and all over the place

So I was wondering,
could you take the controller apart, and maybe alter the feel of the d-pad,

Maybe use the rubber from another controller to make the d-pad more stable ?
