Windows DualShock 3 Drivers

Here's a driver package to run the PS3 DualShock 3 under Windows with rumble support, coded the japanese developer Tamamy Ikesu.

As PS3Hax.net describes the installation is pretty easy:

Installation:

* Download either the normal or DX driver.
* Plug in your DS3 to your PC.
* Open device manager and search for the Dualshock 3 (it will be under HID services with the title then open the device manager and search for the dualshock/sixaxis under hid devices, it should be called "USB Human Interface Device").
* Select the Normal/DX driver and install .

Rumble Installation:
To install rumble feature, right click on the .INF file and choose INSTALL when launching a game, this should start up a TRAY icon that is used to tweak the RUMBLE settings.

The hardest part of this installation falls here, mainy because the application is written and Japeneese and no translated version is currently avaialble. A rough translation can be found below of the menus:

Window title: Rumble settings
First input box: Gain [input box] times (i.e., a multiplier)
Widget box heading: Rumble start threshold
Remaining input boxes, top-down, left-right:
a. Small motor
b. Large motor (weak) c. Large motor (medium)
d. Large motor (strong)
