I discovered that the
MotionInJoy site is kaput, so if I want to use my PS3/DS3 clone controller, I'm out of luck.
There are older rev 6 versions of MiJ available that support the local mode, but those older versions don't support my SNAKEBYTE clone controller.
I'm assuming that it's illegal to upload the .exe for motioninjoy. If not, I have the v071001 version. I google'd local mode and it seems like that just means no internet required because I know I stopped using motioninjoy because of that, but I did use it to install the correct drivers and I then used BetterDS3 for the controller after that because it doesn't need to be online to work. Not sure if it matters, but I use a PS3 controller plugged in with the charging cable and if this is completely irrelevant just ignore it.
It is not illegal at all.
The reason that I only now just discovered that the MiJ site was offline, is because for the past couple of years I've been using the v071001version in local mode exclusively. Therefore I'm not sure what advantage BetterDS3 actually provides to the user.
In my post above I neglected to include the fact that I am trying to install MiJ on my ex Vista now Win7 laptop, and the v071001 local mode will not detect either the Snakebyte or TTX DS3 clone controller when running under Windows®7.
The MiJ v6 local mode does seem to work under Windows®7, but I don't have a supported controller to be sure.
I think that for most people, those who are using v6 MiJ (DS3 tool) with a genuine SONY® PS3 controller, there is no problem at all.
To make sure that I wasn't doing anything wrong, I retrieved my ancient 2002 desktop running Windows® XP from the basement, and after the hassle of downloading and installing .net 3.5 and recommended associated updates, I then installed the MotioninJoy v0.71001 drivers and setup the local mode.
MiJ v7 works great running on Windows®XP, the Snakebyte and the TTX are detected, but no joy running on Windows®7.
It probably works OK in Windows®7 with a real SONY® DS3, but there is no way that I'll spend that much on a controller.

All of my PS3 clone controllers (2 Snakebytes and a TTX Tech) have the same VID/PID code.
VID_0E8F&PID_0003I assume that those two manufacturers not the only ones using this, and there is a possibility that most all PS3 clones share this ID.
So if your non-genuine Dual Shock 3 controller has the same VID/PID, I feel confident that it will work with MiJ v7 (on XP).

If you use a genuine SONY® PS3 controller, then MiJ v6 should work fine on all systems.

http://pinballarcadefans.com/archive/in ... -7913.htmlCode: Select all
This is a how-to for those of us that do not have a Xbox controller. It takes some work but it works...
First you need to download 2 files.
1) MotionJoy drivers v6.0003 64 bit (http://www.hardcoreware.net/files/MotioninJoy_060003_amd64_signed.zip) (32 bit (http://www.hardcoreware.net/files/MotioninJoy_060003_x86_signed.zip))
2) Local Driver Files (http://www.hardcoreware.net/files/motionjoy.local.0.6.0003a.Full.zip)
1) Plug in your PS3 controller
Plug your PS3 controller into your PC with the USB cord.
2) Install the MotioninJoy v6 Program
The next step is to install the MotioninJoy program that is in the first archive you downloaded. This doesn’t install drivers, but rather the app that allows you to manage your PS3 controller and drivers. Don’t run it yet!
3) Extract the Local Files to the Install Location
Before running the program you just installed, you must first extract the local files that are in the second archive. Extract them to the main install directory (default Program Files\MotioninJoy\ds3\).
4) Run MotioninJoy
Next, you can run MotioninJoy. Go to the “Local” section, selected from the top menu:

5) Install the Windows PS3 Controller Drivers
Next you need to install the Windows drivers for the PS3 controller. Select “Install” in the second menu bar. This is what the Install screen looks like before the drivers are installed:

Select the controller, then click “Load Driver”. The program will then install signed 64 bit drivers for you. It will look like this if it ran correctly:

At this point, the controller is responsive, and works perfectly as a standard gamepad. However, there is one more step you might need to take in order to have your PS3 controller play in as many Windows games as possible.
6) Enable XBOX 360 Mode
To allow your PS3 controller to work in Windows games that only look for XBOX 360 drivers, you need to enable XBOX 360 mode. This option is found in the main MotioninJoy screen, in Local mode: Go into Options and enable this.

And you’re done! You can test the vibration settings and other things.
