I know of two driver/software combos that allow me to use my PS3 controller as a PC gamepad:
- MotionInJoy – I am using this right now but I have an older version which I was able to install and use without an internet connection. (I've unfortunately lost the instructions on how to do it again so I can only get it to work on my main computer and not my laptop)
- SIXAXIS – Which is easier to use offline and easier to install, but I have to run a batch file every time the controller disconnects. It's not as robust as MotionInJoy, as it doesn't allow me to remap the buttons to key-presses (which is annoying, as some games such as Melty Blood don't seem to recognize some of the input values)
So I'm wondering if there is any other PS3 Controller Drivers out there which I can install offline and are more reliable.
I don't care if they are digitally signed or not since I can disable that dam system in Windows 7 easily enough.
I mainly use the controller for the following games:
- Melty Blood
- ePSXE (for playing Games incompatible with the PS3 like Final Fantasy 8)
- Kamidori Alchemy Miester (never got a controller to work for it but would love to have one)
- Megaman X3 PC

You may want to take a look at XInput Wrapper for DS3. It does turn your PS3 controller into an XInput device so you can map the buttons basically in any application/game supporting the XInput library. Combined with Pokopom's XInput Pad Plugin you should be very fine. I haven't tried it for myself but I've heard from quite a few people that it works very well.
