Why isn't there a bluetooth version for windows?
The windows bluetooth stack is weak. It does not provide the low-level access to bluetooth that is required to emulate a sixaxis.
Why can't we use any bluetooth address?
A ps3 doesn't allow communications from an unknown bluetooth address, it only allows communications from bluetooth addresses of paired devices.
Two bluetooth devices are paired means that each device knows the address of the other, and each device allows communications from the other device.
Unpaired devices usually can't communicate. The bluetooth pairing is usually performed over bluetooth, but that's not the case for a sixaxis.
The sixaxis pairing is performed over usb: plug the male to mini usb cable, and press the PS button.
I get an error message when I click "Set Dongle Address", what can I do? (Linux+bluetooth)
Some bt dongles are not compatible. Try another one.
How can I set my old bdaddr back? (Linux+bluetooth)
Start a terminal: Click on the Ubuntu Dash, type "terminal" in the search bar, and click on the terminal icon.
Then type:
sudo bdaddr -i hciX YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
Replace X with the dongle index (0, 1, 2...), and YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY with the bdaddr to set. If you have multiple dongles and if you are not sure about the dongle index, type bdaddr -i hciX to see the current bdaddr of the dongle with index = X.
