Have you ever wondered, could i play some of my favorite iOS games.. But with more dominant controls?

Well let me ask you, do you have a PS3 System or a PS4 System? If yes! then follow this tutorial and your wish is my command.
Requirements:
So now that you have your program to the corresponding Operating System (IE. Windows, Mac, Linux) we can begin the steps to configuring it all.
Windows
  1. Download and install SixaxisPairTool
  2. Connect both your iOS device and PS3 controller to your Windows computer
  3. Run SixaxisPairTool and insert your iOS device Bluetooth address (you can find it in Settings > General > About > Bluetooth)
  4. Click Update and disconnect your controller.
  5. Done!
Mac OS X
  1. Download SixPair
  2. Connect both your PS3 controller and your iOS device to your Mac
  3. Click the Pair controller button
  4. Disconnect your controller.
  5. Done!
Linux
  1. Download and compile sixpair​
  2. Connect both your iOS device and PS3 controller to your Linux PC​
  3. Run sixpair and give it your iOS device Bluetooth address as the first CLI parameter​
  4. Disconnect the controller​
  5. Done!​
  6. More in-depth instructions here.​
TL;DR? Well here's YouTube to the rescue yay!

Have any questions? Additions? Just plain and beloved feedback? Ask or respond below! I'll get back to you ASAP always!

I made a thread like this for Controllers For All a while back :tongue: it's the same thing as this I assume. If only Xbox Controllers were compatible then I'd actually like this.

Nope, get a bobby pin and stick it in the small hole on the back of the ds3 on the upper right and reset it then plug it up to the ps3 with a cord and you're good to go.
