MotioninJoy

MotioninJoy is a proprietary set of drivers available for Microsoft Windows, for the PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 (DS3) controller. Due to various problems, it is recommended to use SCP Driver Package instead.

Features

• Multiple controller types available to emulate (DS1, DS2, DS3, Xbox, custom)
• Bluetooth support

Cons

• Malware: Is known to load sh.com, a Chinese schooling website, in your browser when you open the included application, DS3 Tool (required to use the controller).
• It overwrites your USB and Bluetooth drivers, and can render them useless until you remove MotioninJoy and reinstall the drivers.
• Must open DS3 Tool every time you plug your controller in.
• Must select a profile each time.
• Updated very infrequently.
• Is very difficult to remove once installed.

Un-Installation instructions

Firstly uninstall it through Control Panel.

Next run the Command Prompt as an administrator and type this:

pnputil.exe -e

Find MotioninJoy in the list that comes up and type:

pnputil.exe -f -d oem#.inf

Replace the # with MotioninJoy's number. If you had problems with Bluetooth devices after installing MiJ you should now reinstall your original Bluetooth drivers.

Finally, delete C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MijXfilt.sys to get rid of the driver file.

NOTE: MiJ will still be in your registry even after this, it shouldn't cause any problems, but you may want to open regedit and delete anything tied to MotioninJoy.

Alternatives

SCP Driver Package is an open-source driver which allows for the DS3 to natively work on Microsoft Windows. It includes:

• Filter Driver + Wrapper (discontinued)
• Xinput Driver (can use USB and Bluetooth)

The Xinput Driver is currently the recommended version to use.

If you have problems with the above Driver Package or if (for some reason) you MUST use MiJ:

• Better DS3 is an improved frontend for MiJ that doesn't have advertising or stupid malware. It's worse than the SCP Driver Package, but better than nothing.
