I really like this stick and it’s been proven that the stick is capable of working on PC by the help of a driver filter(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa490247.aspx), and it would pretty awesome to use on GGPO, and DC emulators. OR maybe some tutorials and/or directions on how to swap the pcb out??
(Update)
Extra Info:
-FS3 axis are recognized in MAME .117 (presumably other MAME types as well)
-Some have claimed to plugged their FS3 stick in and have full button capabilities, but the stick doesnt’t work
-I got the turbo light to blink!! That’s all though

Drivers that have already been made and have worked for very very few due to incompatibility:
-fs3drv*
http://rapidshare.com/files/22348021/fs3drv.zip.html
-Made By Guy Named Rale, It has been said that this driver keeps referring to an unknown file that can’t be found when viewed in hex editor. Driver allowed home button to be used as a switch from POV mode and Analog in windows
-Status: Compatible for some ( very few)
-SixAxis*
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PRIMUJ9X
-Driver for regular ps3 controllers, works only with regular ps3 controllers, and contrary to popular belief or guess, it does not work with the FS3
-Status: Compatible for SOME (Possibly those with dual core processors), with FS3

I used the ps3 sixaxis win 32 driver.
here is the link for it.

plug in your controller and run ps3sixaxis_en.exe
a cmd prompt should flash then go away.
if u wanna see whats in the cmd prompt start cmd from menu.
once you do that… press a button on your controller. for me i had to hold a button
for like 5 seconds.
then go to game controllers in control panel and see if you get input response.
go to mame and configure your controls it should work. worked fine for my fighting stick 3
