How to use a DualShock 3 Wireless Controller on Windows

8/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Here is a easy setup guide on using a PS3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller on Windows.

I have only tested this on Windows 7 SP1 x64

Before continuing you will need a Bluetooth Dongle Compatibility with MotioninJoy if you want wireless support.
I recommend the TRENDnet TBW-107UB. (PlugNPlay, no extra software needed.) It can be found at Newegg, Amazon and Fry's. Works up to 30 feet away.
Unfortunately cheap dongles you find on eBay will NOT work.
And you will need a Mini-USB cord. (DualShock 3 is Mini USB not Micro USB)

Installation and Configuration:

After you have the Bluetooth Dongle connected to your computer, download and install the MotioninJoy software. [Direct Link] [Official Website (Download version 0.7.0000(testing)]

After installation, follow this guide (Connect controller via USB > Open DS3 Tool > Click BluetoothPair > Click Pair Now)

After it's paired remove the USB then click on Profiles on DS3 Tool. Select Xbox 360 Controller Emulator then click Enable.

That's it! Your DualShock 3 Wireless Controller should now work on supported PC games like GTA IV, Need for Speed World, Street Fighter IV and Saints Row the Third.

Yahoo! Axis Browser - Review and Hack

5/24/2012

0 Comments

 
Yahoo! now has their own web browser (kinda).

On May 23th Yahoo! released a "web browser" for iOS devices and a web browser addon for Firefox, Safari and Chrome. [CNET News Release]

Later on in the day, someone downloaded the Chrome extension to their desktop, opened it up (Chrome extensions (CRX file) are ZIP archives) and found out their cert private key was included with the file. [Source: Tweet from @nikcub]

Yahoo! pulled the Chrome extension then reuploaded early on May 24th without the cert private key being public this time.

When you go to the download page at http://axis.yahoo.com/ it doesn't seem to allow downloads to people on Linux operating systems. Using a special trick, I downloaded the CRX file to my Debian computer and installed the extension in Chromium (Open source version of Chrome)
It seems to work. After about 5 minutes, I got tired of it and disabled the extension.

Yahoo! Axis for Linux:
If you would like to try out the extension for yourself on your Linux operating system, I uploaded the extension to my web site. http://web.techfurs.net/Downloads/Axis_Chrome_Extension/ Read the README file first for important information.

12/25/2011

4 Comments

 

Small update from my September post.

As you may know, Canonical freezes software packages a few weeks before a new distribution comes out.Only security updates will be installed after the freeze.
If you want new fectures for your software, you need to install a ppa.
To add a repository on your system the new way (9.10 and higher) all you do is “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge”
Some software on this list may no longer be updated for older systems. 
 
1: Chromium - Stable: ppa:chromium-daily/stable [10.04+]
2: Firefox - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [10.04+]
3: Thunderbird - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable [10.04+]
4. Openshot - Bleeding Edge: ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge [9.10+]
5. LibreOffice - Stable: ppa:libreoffice/ppa [10.04+]
6. The Gimp - Trunk: ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn [9.04+]
7. Pidgin - Stable: ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa [10.04+]
8. Shotwell - Stable: ppa:yorba/ppa [11.04+] ppa:flexiondotorg/shotwell [10.04 **, 10.10 **]
9. WineHQ - Stable: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [6.06+]
10. Banshee - Stable: ppa:banshee-team/ppa [7.10+]

** Must enable the GStreamer PPA to use: ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa

Some software I recommend getting from the office site:
TOR
VirtualBox
PlayOnLinux
Vuze
