Hello, I am having a couple issues that I am hoping someone can help me with. Please forgive me if these have been asked before.

So my first issue is that after a while of having my DS3 paired with BT, it just stops working. After looking into device manager, it shows "A request for the USB device descriptor failed" or something like that. It will not work again unless I re-install scarlet.crush. I have went back to just using the USB connection for now to see if that is more stable.

The other problem is that an XBOX 360 controller is always detected on my system even when the controller is not plugged in. I do not know if this is supposed to be this way or not. It causes problems in games because they think there is a controller plugged in when there is not and some games default to those controls. Shouldn't it only detect if it is plugged into USB? keep in mind I am not using BT anymore.

I am on Windows 8.1

Anyway any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, so, I want to use this driver to use my controller through USB only. I followed the instructions except I did not get the bluetooth drivers, since I figured I wouldn't need those. The installation was successful, and the installation summary is as follows:

-- Install Summary --
SCP DS3 Service
Bus Device
Bus Driver
DS3 USB Driver


Now, I don't really know how to use the rest of the stuff? The SCPUser.exe does recognize my controller as plugged in, but does not recognize any button press, and the LEDs on the controller keeps blinking, as if it is trying to pair with something. ScpMonitor.exe shows host address as Disconnected, and the controller (Pad 1) as "DS3 00:00:00:00:00:00 - Reserved". ScpServer.exe gives an "arrival" notification when I plug the controller in, but nothing else happens.

EDIT: Just did a pinhole reset while the controller was plugged in. It connected as Pad 2 so I just used the monitor to move it up to 1. Pad 2 is still "Reserved" but I don't care. Can't believe I didn't try this before

So, yeah, help would be appreciated. If the answers are somewhere else in this 300+ page fat thread, please point me to where it is at least.

Assuming you're in the same boat as me, keeping SCPServer running is what you need. While it's on, SCPMonitor and SCPUser will recognize the controller and its inputs.

What's supposed to happen, I think, is that either SCPServer or SCPService are supposed to run in the background on startup (as a service, on Windows machines) or on detecting the PS2/PS3/PS4 controllers. But for some reason this isn't happening currently? Some people report that it has for them- maybe some file(s) they haven't replaced retains/retained the functionality, I don't know. I'm waiting on Scarlet.Crush hopefully coming back and clearing things up.

ScpService is, well, a service. And it runs like one for me at least. I see it in the task manager as a service, and I can stop/start/restart it from there like any other service. And of course, I already am running the ScpServer, which seems to make a very tiny (read: none) difference on whether it works or not.

And to add a bit more info about my issue, the controller test in control panel (devices and printers, blah blah) does not recognize any button press or stick movement, but still thinks the controller is "OK".
The ScpUser looks like this. Are these 0/0 things supposed to be there?

How do I get this DLL?

I installed the runtime as discussed here: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-MSVCR120-dll-error

But still nothing.

I have a strange problem, after installing drivers ScpMonitor detects my bluetooth adress without porblems, but after i restart my laptop it shows my bluetooth adress as <error>. I need to install original drivers and then again Scp drivers to get it to work again. Had the same problem with Motioninjoy. Tried Zadig drivers but with same result.

Im using a laptop (Asus k53Sv) with:
Windows 7 Professional x64 with SP1
(not sure if im translating this all correctly, not an english windows)
BT device manager properties:
Device description: Bluetooth device (TDI RFCOMM protocol)
hardware ID: BTH\MS_RFCOMM
overriding(or preceding, dont know how to translate this): USB\VID_13D3&PID_3304\6&111e7466&0&1

Attached ScpServer and ScpService logs.

I was never able to connect my PS3 controller to my PC during the last 4-6 years (mainly by giving up very easily if windows update drivers did not work)
Tonight I persisted: I had been trying to figure out how to connect my PS3 sixaxis controller for several hours using all kinds of different methods (the horrible MotioninJoy, several non working drivers, etc..)
The method from this thread also seemed to not work for me, until I randomly went to the last page of this thread, saw your reply and ran those 3 services.
By running them I can at last functionally connect my controller to my PC.
Thank you very much!
If I could figure out how to automatically start these 3 services when connecting my controller ( or some shortcut to auto run the 3 together) it would be even better, but for now I am happy!

Is it possible to swap the dpad and left stick?

I can't seem to find a way.

You know, I hadn't actually tried to run ScpUser until now, but I'm missing the same MSVCR120.dll another poster was. I mostly use the DS3 controller with Joy2Key or emulators that don't need Pokopom. So I couldn't say if it's supposed to look like that or not yet, sorry.
Now that I've installed the redistributable(s) and got ScpUser to open: Yeah, that's how it's supposed to look. Upon pressing buttons, the portion to the right of "Buttons:" is supposed to fill up with the name of the X360 equivalent of whatever face-buttons/shoulder-buttons you've pressed (i.e.- Square will claim to be X). The 0/0 track the X and Y values of the Left and Right Sticks when they're working, and it's supposed to look like that when the sticks are centered, yeah.

That's good that that worked out for you, glad to have helped. It's not really a solution so much as a workaround, though. Again, hopefully Scarlet.Crush will chime in eventually.

Make sure you're running the right ScpUser, or that you've confirmed that the Visual C++ 2013 redistributable installer's being run as administrator or whatever UAG needs to make changes. If you're on Win 8, you might need vcredist_arm.exe... I'm unsure if any of this would work on Windows 8, though. If you're on a 64-bit version of Vista/7, you'll need vcredist_x64.exe and to use the ScpUser in the Win64 folder. If you're using an older version of Windows or 32-bit version of Vista/7, you'll want vcredist_x86.exe and use the ScpUser in the Win32 folder. If you've got a 64-bit OS, though, you might as well install both x86 and x64, since a lot of older emulators/games that you might want to use the pad with probably won't have 64-bit compatibility.

I solved it but thanks.

Looking for a way to make a profile that has the dpad the left stick and vice versa.
