Cant pair 2 sixaxis

rafael · 02-02-2013, 11:40 AM #1

I use USB dongle Bluetooth with motioninjoy software, but i can just pair 1 sixaxis, the second do not pair by anyway, the questions are:

I Need to use 4 USB Bluetooth dongle ? ONE for each sixaxis?

or its because only the first sixaxis are Sony original ? The second ONE is generic sixaxis.

Please help me, i need to use 4 sixaxis for mario kart 4 players battle.

You do not need 4 bluetooth adapters. Motioninjoy converts your bluetooth adapter into a "PS3 adapter" that behaves like a PS3, with multiple devices attachable at the same time. The MiJ interface even shows this stuff. But I guess the bigger question is... why didn't you try it before asking?

If you have a decent Bluetooth dongle then it should be able to handle all four controllers.
Which dongle do you have?

It should have worked. Motion in Joy needs a fast, solid bluetooth dongle to work properly. Specifically, it needs EDR (enhanced data rate), a part of bluetooth 2.0. I believe it can work without it, but I have no idea what it would do in that scenario. So, to mirror what Garteal said, what's your dongle?

There is an alternative to Motion in Joy, btw. It's much better, no ads, more stable, open source, it's awesome. I didn't say it earlier though cause it's bluetooth support is in alpha state... I tested it with my dongle, and it worked very well, but I only have one Dual Shock 3... It has support for multiple controllers at a time, but I don't know what it would do. That, and it has the same requirements for fast bluetooth as Motion in Joy (it's inherited from the PS3), so if your bluetooth is too slow for MiJ, it will be too slow for that. Still, ask if you want to try it, and I'll get the links for you.

MotioninJoy is amazing if you run it locally with a custom interface. There's no ads etc anymore.
Nothing else I've seen so far comes close in functionality.

Yea well, I've gotten to know the guy. He took already existing open source tools, put an internet explorer wrapper on the thing, filled it with ads, and called it his. I got to know him a bit, was a moderator on his forums as well. I got to see how he works and thinks. He's scum, and so is motion in joy. Of course, you probably heard this before Tongue

.

Fortunately someone else has finally done it too, and this one wasn't greedy. No ads, source code included in every download, no internet connection of any kind. Oh, and it's easier to use than Motion in Joy, which is a big help. But uh, as I said before, usb is excellent, but bluetooth is in alpha. It works great, but it's kind of hard to recommend it.

Bluetooth is on page 6.

The first link is just an image. I have no way to tell anything about it. The second link doesn't say EDR, but it does say 3mbps, which is the data rate of EDR. So it might work. Motion in Joy is very finicky about dongles, so recognize that unless someone has tried it before you it might not work well.

Can you give any information on the dongle you already have?
