Sony did some mucking with it that prevents it from pairing unless it's a specific driver just for PS3 controllers. You'll never get the Toshiba Stack to pair with it, period.

But there are two workarounds. The first one is the one I use: have two bluetooth dongles. It isn't very difficult really, one bluetooth dongle with the Toshiba Stack, one bluetooth dongle with the SCP drivers. Works great. Just remember that the SCP drivers will try to override the Toshiba drivers, so you need to select the drivers manually. I described the process (back before I was using the Toshiba drivers, same rules apply though) here - http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller?pid=300105#pid300105

Other workaround: Just use a cord. It isn't that inconvenient.

Also, remember to use the SCP DS3 Drivers and not the Xinput Wrapper. The Xinput Wrapper is older and not as reliable.

Thanks a bunch man!! Very helpful!

Actually, there is a way to make the DS3 controller work with the Toshiba Stack. Glovepie. That silly thing can do all KINDS of crazy. But it's a pain in the ass and I have no idea how to set it up for a DS3 controller. The SCP drivers are SO much better.

Hi Major! About that thing about having two bluetooth sticks and manually assign the driver.. Is there a way I can quickly swap the driver on my bluetooth stick without installing/un-installing all the time?... If so, can you pinpoint to me which file is the driver for SCP and which driver is for the Toshiba?.. Then I can keep both drivers in a folder, and manually assign whenever I need to use Wiimote or DS3 Smile

You still have to use the device manager for that; I don't know of a way around it. But it's fairly simple to use it to go between drivers, so just use the process I described before.

Yeah I know, but I was wondering if you knew which of the files is the correct driver. So I don't have to use the installer

Sorry to bother you again, but I bought another Bluetooth USB stick now as you recommended. I tried to unplug the Toshiba and plug in the new USB.. After installing the SCP-driver it f***d up my Toshiba again. How do I manually assign it in Device Manager? I'm in Device Manager now, but I don't know what to assign where Sad

I've inserted both dongles, but the SCP is installed, and when I try to add the Toshiba one, it says that it's already up to date.. Not to mention that in Device Manager I can only see one dongle as shown

Mr.Spam here! lol! I got it working.. Had to do what you said, only that I had to:
1. Install Toshiba stack
2. Unplug the Dongle I wanted for Toshiba stack, so that the Dongle I wanted for SCP stood left
3. Install SCP
4. Plug in the Dongle I wanted for Toshiba stack again, and once it popped up I could manually assign "Generic Bluetooth RADIO"

Now it works Smile

Thanks
