Hi their ^__^

So im a long time player who went from PS2 to 360 but i realized i wanna play on my PC just with the controllers

im using motionjoy and a PS3 Sixaxis controller and for the LIFE of me i cant get the controller to work!

the set up i want is the typical path via 360 controller

Triggers are macros and have to be held to keep macros up
L1 is auto run/R1 is nothing unless taking a screen shot
confirm is A/X
cancel B/O
menu commands access is X/ []
toggles windows is triangle/Y
targeting and option selection while in menus is the D-PAD
movement is the left stick
healing is clicking Left stick
camera is right stick
changing View is clicking right stick
Select is hide window
Start is logging out

now i cant set up controls like this under config with the whole button 1-32!
as well as i cant get the control sticks to function at all under config.
its like it doesn't recognize the control sticks.

i have never been soooo frustrated in my life

help would be appreciated for my friends and event LS need me since we're a small group

Have you tried this?

You are better off using the xbox 360 controller since it works better with both windows and FFXI.

I wouldn't recommend the 360 controller as I know the stock drivers don't support the triggers as actual buttons - they are axis which won't work with the macro palette. Then you have to load redcl0ud's drivers, which are hit or miss. Mostly miss, and I don't think that the guide I wrote up for them is even valid anymore now that 7 is the standard.

If you are willing to spend a few bucks, get a Logitech Rumblepad II. I have the cordless version, and it's set up just like the Ps2 controller (albeit beefier), and the USB receiver nub has an incredibly small footprint. I never take it out of my laptop's USB port. Very small. The controller works right out of the box, and has a setting to identify as an Xbox controller for games that support Xbox profile (Like Fallout 3 and New Vegas).

It's a great controller, and doesn't chew up batteries like I thought it would. If you continue to have issues with the Ps3 controller (or get sick of being chained to the PC with the cord), check out the rumblepad.

That's the reason why only one of them is allowed in PvP. Per server.
Imagine a cross-breed between Allakhazam and Sun Zu. That's a Black Mages's toenail.
