XInput Wrapper for DS3 and Play.com USB Dual DS2 Controller

[RayfenWindspear]

It uses a little USB adapter, does it not?

What does?

Install keeps on failing

That's a problem...

Hi..

Does the installer have a command line version?

My problem is that whenever my laptop goes to sleep/hibernation, HCI version reverts back to the one that is not working for me (i think 5.0001 is not working while a new install gives 6.0102).

I've read that updating drivers with devcon.exe (with a .bat file) worked for a guy here, i forgot what page it is in this thread. I tried that and it didn't work for me, HCI version just gets stuck at 5.0001. BTW, I use the integrated bluetooth. I don't want to buy another dongle since the integrated one works, albeit not seamlessly. My usb ports are cluttered as it is.

Well I've given up on that so the closest thing I can think of is to make a bat file that re-installs the drivers. So is there a command line version of the installer program?

Thanks!!

Give this a try and tell me how it goes.

still waiting for more helpful ideas about vibration problem

Give this a try and tell me how it goes.

I've read it. Unfortunately it didn't help much since i don't know how to set that sleep/wake thing for bluetooth.

BUT. I've finally made it work. Actually, what I did before was from this POST. @wyfer is absolutely correct on what needs to be done, but its not for noobs or semi-noobs like me.

I just used the wrong INF for the first devcon update (since sorting folders by time in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository will ONLY give you the bluetooth drivers of the SCP, not the OEM's drivers). I just tried to investigate more on what went wrong.

So I'll put here the steps for the glory of laptop users with INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH. The only prerequisite is that the bluetooth works with your DS3 when the SCP drivers are freshly installed. Note that this CAN be done automatically so that you don't have to do anything when your laptop wakes up from sleep/hibernation. I haven't tested with shutdown since I'm lazy, I don't want to turn off my laptop right now.

I made this mini guide (really I just made a semi-noob friendly compilation) coz I REALLY had a bad time in trying how to figure out things to work my way, I don't want that happening to anyone anymore. I'm gracious just like that lewlz.

>1. Read this POST.
>>1.a. For Christ's sake read it please.
>>1.b. Go to the blog which is linked in his post.
>>1.c. Read the blog and know what version of devcon to use. *IMPORTANT* If you are using win8.1, don't go to the microsoft site to download since it won't work. If you are desperate enough *like me* to trust random exe's in the interwebs, just download the zip file which contains 32 and 64bit versions of devcon at the end of the blog post. If you are an untrusting person, download the OH-MY-*****-THAT'S-BIG WDK for win8.1 in MS site.
>>1.d. Install that devcon.exe, you know you want to. Read his blog on how to.
>2. Create a bat file containing this code (google how to create a bat file, you can create it anywhere you like, I put it in the install folder for the SCP driver):

net Stop "SCP DS3 Service"
devcon.exe update "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\atheros_bth.inf_amd64_b806eab89efd8f60\atheros_bth.inf" "USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3004&REV_0001"
devcon.exe update "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\bthwinusb.inf_amd64_bb65126544cdaf87\BthWinUsb.inf" "USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3004&REV_0001"
net Start "SCP DS3 Service"

>>2.a. Note that that the colored texts will be different for your system. You will find it in the next step. Basically the code is kill the SCP service >> revert to the OEM driver for your bluetooth >> revert back to SCP bluetooth driver >> restart the SCP service.
>>2.b. Open ScpDriver.exe and click uninstall. Then click (forced?)install.
>>2.c. You will see something like this in the logs:

Install Succeeded. [Reboot Required]

>>2.d. Copy those colored ***** back to the bat file, it's color-coded so don't miss it.
>>2.e. Now because of uninstall - install cycles, you can find now the green text. Go to device manager and you can some *****, expand the Universal Serial Bus devices and you will see your BTH device. Double click it >> events tab >> and scroll down and look for that driver. See picture:



>>2.f. Copy the text in the blue circle to the green text shown above (in the .bat file)
>>2.g. Save that .bat file and you are done. You can click that bat file every time your laptop wakes up, or you can continue below to automate it. Also if your UAC is on, it will auto-magically elevate the script so you don't have to click that pesky "yes" button.

>3. LOLZ. You thought it will be detailed? Go here.
>>3.a. You don't have to do steps #7, #8, and #11 onwards in that guide, just click browse and find your .bat file and stop after step #10. Don't click that "OK" just yet. Please don't go full retard here. Use your noodle.
>>3.b. Know that people in stackoverflow are awesome, here is how you automate that bat file (source)
>>>3.b.1. Go to Triggers tab >> click New (a new window will appear)
>>>3.b.2. On the "Begin the task" drop down box choose: "On an event"
>>>3.b.3. On the "Log" drop down box choose: "System"
>>>3.b.4. On the "Source", type: Power-Troubleshooter
>>>3.b.5. On the "Event ID", type: 1
>>>3.b.6. Click away with OK! You now deserve a sandwich. Go get one.


Now your DS3 will connect with your integrated bluetooth even after waking up from sleep!!! YAY!! You may be annoyed that a command line window pops up whenever your laptop wakes up, you can google on how to hide it (tip: VBScript) but i think it's not worth it especially if you are uber-noob.


P.S.: Mods, please link this, it will save people a lot of headaches.

Install keeps on failing

How does it fail? Do you have an error text?
Are you using 64 bit windows? Maybe your problem is driver signing?

[bardozan]

Wow that's a lot of replies. I have a question but i'm not sure whether it's been asked before.
Is there any way to make the system recognize bluetooth dongle which was already plugged in? I need to plug it out and in for recognition after each boot.
If it is possible, I could just use a rear port and save one of my front ports. That would be a blessing.

[ElMariachi]

You probably could do this with RestartSrDev: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools.html or maybe one of the many other USB related tools made by Uwe Sieber.

I just meant sleep your laptop then wake it.

That is abnormal behavior. I'm not sure why it would do that, but you could try in the Device Manager there should be a button for "Check for hardware changes". I am not sure but that may only refresh the list. It is worth a shot though.
