111w ago - Today PlayStation 3 developer jjolano has released a PS3 homebrew application dubbed PSVibe v1.0, which as the name implies allows users to turn their DualShock 3 controller into a tuneable vibrating device followed by some updates below.

The release includes a normal PKG file and one for GeoHot PS3 CFW for PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware users.

Download: PSVibe v1.0 for PS3 / PSVibe v2.0 for PS3 / GIT

PSVibe Version 2.0 Changelog:

• Added Move compatibility (untested since I don't have a Move)
• Optimized some code
• Fixed separation of settings for each controller
• Rewrote code for PSL1GHT v2

From the ReadMe file: PSVibe turns your PS3 controller into a controllable vibrator - complete with fine tuning of the amount of force you want and the activation of motors.

Coming soon: Vibration wave (force goes high, low, high, low, etc.)

159w ago - It's been awhile since our last update on PC drivers for PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 and SixAxis controllers, and recently MotionInJoy have updated them to version 0.5 Alpha which allows for using two or more PS3 DS3 gamepads on a single BlueTooth dongle.

To quote: PlayStation 3 controller (Dualshock 3 or SixAxis) driver for Windows. MotionInJoy drives your PlayStation 3 controller on Windows as a general game controller with motion sensor.

3. Directx mode vibration driver.
4. Add original Xbox controller supporting.
5. Driver install program.

The driver install function is integrated into...
