XInput Wrapper for DS3 and Play.com USB Dual DS2 Controller
Eureka! I got mine working!

Unfortunately the name fix was not enough. Appearently a fake controller will not respond to the standard "Set Feature Report", so it has to be changed slightly to account for this.
I followed the steps made by Report Fix and got it woking!
My approach for the device name problem was to change the name verification to use the "StartsWith" method instead of a comparison.
Code:
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) BD_Addr[i] = Buffer[i + 3];
if (Name.StartsWith("PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller") || Name.StartsWith("PLAYSTATION(R)3Controller") || Name.StartsWith("PLAYSTATION(R)3 Conteroller") || Name.StartsWith("PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller") ||
Name == "Navigation Controller" ||
Name == "Wireless Controller")
{
        NameList.Add(bd, nm.ToString());
        Transfered = HCI_Accept_Connection_Request(BD_Addr, 0x00);
}
...
I have uploaded the modified source code and compiled version:

I'm starting to get really annoyed with this. I installed my PS3 by plugging it in and having Windows install basic drivers (it's listed as Playstation 3 Controller in Devices and Printers).
I downloaded the latest 360 drivers and I'm positive I have the latest Visual C package downloaded.
However, whenever I try to run scpdriver.exe, nothing happens and I just get a generic "scpdriver has stopped working" message. Unblocking the program doesn't do anything, and neither does running it as an administrator.

My PS3 controller's four lights are always blinking red and programs like BetterDS3 and MotionInJoy don't even display it on their lists of controllers.
I'm sure it's not the USB cable as I got it to work on another computer with the same operating system (Windows 7) and controller.

Move the archives over to C:/Temp/ and right click>properties each and make sure they're unblocked. Extract each. This time though, make another folder at the root of C:/ (For example, C:/ScpServer/) and make sure to copy the 1.2.0 files over and run ScpDriver.exe as administrator before overwriting with 1.2.2. Hopefully it's just a weird UAC issue.

Hey, that worked!

(which means what I re-did was basically steps 2-4 of the OP)

You mean for the unblock or the UAC issue? UAC tends to be a bit of a nag when it comes to Program Files. Regular admins on the account are listed after the 'true admin' account. Another way of seeing if UAC was the issue is to recreate the folder in Program Files, Right click > properties > security tab and giving your user full access with file inherited permissions. Windows does a terrible job of handling permissions sometimes.

Yeah, I tried it unfortunately. I'm nearly 100% certain this controller specifically doesn't like 2.0 adapters. This makes me wish I priority'd the bluetooth dongle. Wonder if there's anyone else I know that has a bluetooth adapter...

Ehhh, bummer. I was rather enthusiastic about saving on a 3rd party controller. I'm split on whether that was a good decision or not, haha.

Can't say I haven't learned a lot from this experience. I took a VB course a while back and now realize dealing with a tiny bit of C# is like going from building blocks to building schematics.

Congratulations on getting your controller working and thanks for sharing. I hope your solution will help other users of VINS controllers.

I hoped Hyori's solution will atleast work for you but unfortunately it didn't.

Don't lose hopes yet. If the controller works with android sixaxis app then it should work on pc too. It is something to do with either the dongle or scp control dll.

VB is very easy programming language which has GUI designing plus coding but C# is totally different language and full of coding. It is difficult to do and involving a lot of effort but if you can, then it will be a great achievement.
How to modify ScpControl.dll to make fake DS3 controller working through Bluetooh
(This trick doesn't work for all fake controllers including those that show "Remote [00:00:00:00:00:00]" in log.
I've been using this for a while with a DS3 and it's been flawless, but I tried to pair my DS4 the other night and had some problems.

I followed one of the posts, which I'm not sure if its outdated or not, but it had me use Zadig to install some drivers. I accidently installed them on USB Input Device instead of Wireless controller. I did it to 2 USB Input Devices. After this SCP wouldn't start anymore, I'd use my batch command and it would just error quick and disappear. So I went into device manager and rolled back the 2 USB input device drivers (the ones I think I messed up with Zadig) After that I was still paranoid, so I system restored to a day earlier. Everything's been working fine since that, but I feel like I have a bit of input lag with my DS3 now. Am I just crazy or could I have screwed something up EVEN with a System Restore.

Thanks for any help!
My fake ds3 works great with android sixaxis via Bluetooth.
It has no delays at all.
And even vibration works flawlessly.
But on PC, it works only via USB.
And BTH connection has lots of delays.
My Bluetooth dongle is CSR Bluetooth 2.0 rev_1958.
Is this weak?

Saw this while scrolling through. Down at the DS4 section. You can try it and see what happens.

Is it connecting via 2.0? As I've seen in the thread, 2.0 and 2.1 adapters are acceptable but not really recommended. Some others have noticed delay with 2.0 and some others find it okay. If you can test it on a 3.0 or 4.0 it might work flawlessly. I'm waiting on my 4.0 dongle.

I'm still hopeful. This controller was to replace my loyal cheap-y brand wireless controller. Batteries started getting annoying to deal with and the O button was giving out a second time after swapping the rubber from my PS2 controller. The reception for it's IR dongle was terrible and it used directinput so it was becoming less compatible with newer games.

I took VB kinda as a "sure why not" course. It would be pretty cool to know something much bigger like C#, C++, or even JavaScript.

Yeah, those cheap wireless controllers are terrible and won't last long. Atleast these fake PS3 controllers are better.

There are lots of bluetooth dongles and even if there hardware id matches, the built quality and design differs. You wanna try different bluetooth dongles and see if it solves the delay in response.

As of vibration over bluetooth, I don't think its supported in SCP program. Atleast with fake controllers because many have reported.
