PS3 Controller for VBA

Okee dokee. So I already searched the forums, but I haven't found anything that answers my question, so here I am. x3

I'm trying to use my PS3 controller on my PC for VBA. I downloaded the PS3sixaxis file, installed it EXACTLY as instructed, did everything EXACTLY as instructed, and still it wont work with the VBA. So....I'm stuck. >_>
I went to Control Panel>Game Controllers and tested it, and it works....it just refuses to work with the VBA....so is there perhaps something I'm missing?

For now, I'm using my keyboard, but it's driving me mad, not to have a controller for the game. >_<

Thanks in advance.

 

Did you go to the Options--> Joypad--> Configure on the VBA emulator??

 

yeah, I tried that, but when i try to change the controls, for the controller, it still doesn't do anything. >.<

 

Just wondering, what platform are you running your computer on? (If I'm not mistaken, are you trying it on Windows?)

I've got my PS3 controller to work with most games that maps keyboard configurations with Xpadder, although I'm not having much luck making it compatible with Ubuntu. It's working on both OSes though, just it's working better on Windows at the moment. *shrug*

 

If need be, you could try using Joy2pad or whatever its called.
