Can't get PS3 DS3 to work on Mac

[motorcyclemayhem]

I can get Dolphin to recognize that a DualShock 3 is connected (both via bluetooth and USB), but I can't get it to accept button inputs at all.

Through USB, if I click on a button config, it will "wait" for a second and then go back to what it was.

Through Bluetooth it will just say Axis Unknown for every button

Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong here?

does the controller work for other emulators? I personally test controllers in Mupen64, sixtyforce, snes9x, and/or nestopia. If the controller works for other programs but not for Dolphin, I wonder if maybe Dolphin is to blame. Though if other programs aren't able to map keys for your ps3 controller, maybe it's some kind of driver issue. I only bring that up because apparently you need the correct mac drivers to power a 360 controller

edit: I did some searching and found that the tattiebogle.net guy is playing around with ps3 drivers for the mac

alternatively, you could try whatever this "controllermate" is, though it's not freeware

you'll probably have more luck using your controller through a windows bootcamp partition, if all else fails

I got controllermate and it recognizes all of the DualShock's inputs

It's a problem on Dolphin's end

To clarify, I'm trying to set up the DualShock as a GameCube controller
