Sixaxis "Connection Error!"

[Matqo]

Hey guys, I have decided to give ps3 a go for its exclusives but as I am a PC gamer I perefer to play with mouse and keyboard. I ordered a bluetooth dongle from dealextreme (http://dx.com/p/ultra-mini-bluetooth-2- ... ngle-37665) as this one is recommended on wiki page. I set everything up but whenever I Start the emulator I just get a connection error (see pic attached), I also tried bluez stack but no change. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

Hi,

Maybe the reseller changed to another supplier.
Your screenshot shows that GIMX reads "Unknown" as chip version, instead of the expected "BlueCore4-ROM".
What is the output of the command "hcirevision hci0" (without quotes) typed in a terminal?

Instead of trying the bluetooth stuff, and because you are a PC gamer, you should go the DIY USB adapter way (more stable, lower latency).

Hi, here are results of hci:
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
BD Address: 00:--:00:--:--:A1 ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8
Build 8891
Chip version: Unknown
Max key size: 128 bit
SCO mapping: HCI
I was going to make a usb one but my budget is pretty tight at the moment so I went for the recommended dongle, If you have any ideas on how to make it work please let me know.
Thanks, Martin.

No idea. This reseller is not recommended anymore as it seems the dongle chip changed
