Installing Libusb For Pcsx2 Emulator
I am trying to get a PS3 Sixaxis controller to work with Ubuntu 12.04. The ubuntu wiki page for sixaxis says to install QtSixA, which I did. The issue now is actually using the controller. I installed 'SuperTux 2' to test it out.
Installing Libusb For Pcsx 2 Games Iso. 212 pages on this wiki. I tried to run a system restore from before the installation of LibUSB, but all the restore points give me an error: 'The instruction at 0x73888f18 referenced memory at 0x00000004.
Normally, SuperTux says there is no joystick. When I plug in the PS3 Controller, and press scan, it then displays all of the controls and their assigned buttons. I can then click on a action and it will prompt me to press the button I want to assign. The issue here that pressing buttons on the controller doesn't do anything. I can't assign any of actions to a button on the controller. The same goes for PCSX.

I can configure the controller, and select the Sony Playstation(R)3 Controller from the drop down, but when I try to assign a button, pressing buttons on the PS3 controller doesn't do anything. On the web, I see tons of guides on how to connect with Bluetooth, but my computer doesn't have a bluetooth dongle, so I just want to connect via USB. In addition, QtSixA can see the controller too.

I can 'configure default profile', which I have tried, but SuperTux 2 nor PCSX react any differently. UPDATE: Following the guide, I tried sudo apt-get install libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4 xserver-xorg-input-joystick, and then compiled sixpair. Running sudo./sixpair complains about enabling bluetooth, then SuperTux 2 can't find the controller anymore when I click scan.

After reading, I found out I have to press the PS button to get it working. Well, that worked fine for using the controller as a POINTER device. I can now make my mouse on screen dance using the analog sticks. I am still unsure of how to get it working with SuperTux 2 and PCSX though. When I didn't have xserver-xorg-input-joystick installed, pressing the PS button caused it connect to the PS3 in the other room as controller 2. I am very confused about what is going on right now.
I'm not sure if this will help, but when I set up my PS2 controller to play emulators I used. It took a little bit of time to get it set up between jstest-gtk and the emulator (I use ZSNES). After getting the controller to read properly through jstest-gtk I had to go into my emulator and assign all the buttons. (I had thought it would auto-detect the controller but it didn't.) It works great; I've not had any problems with it. Like I said, I don't know if it will work for a PS3 controller though, but it might be worth the try. I installed joy2key which can be installed directly from the repositories of debian, once installed before you run the program/emulator you run joy2key -dev /dev/input/device number -terminal, you need to configure the analog joysticks, (there is a way to avoid this later but I haven't look how to write the configuration file), then you are good to go, I use it with MAME and others, I still can't make it work with some snes emulators, hope this work for any who need to use it with the USB port.
