PC + PS3 Controller?

Hello everyone.

 

How can I play my PC games with my Dualshock 3 rather than my keyboard and mouse? For example GTA San Andreas. My computer recognises the device/controller and I've changed the control options (in-game) from 'keyboard & mouse' to 'joystick' but it still doesn't work.

Is there a certain program I have to install or something? I've seen people play San Andreas with their PS3 controllers and I'd like to do the same :smileyindifferent:

 

Thanks in advance :smileyhappy:

I'd assume you'd need drivers for the DS3 on windows. Mac OSX natively supports the DS3 over bluetooth and USB however.

I use MotionInJoy to play a few PC games with a DS3 - it's worked with Fallout 3, L4D2, Hitman: Blood Money and a few others (although I'm not sure how many support it natively):
