• Must select a profile each time

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.

Alternatives

SCP Xinput Wrapper is an open-source driver which allows for the DS3 to natively work on Microsoft Windows. There are two versions currently available:

• XInput Wrapper - discontinued
• Bluetooth Driver Package (can also use USB)

The Bluetooth Driver Package is currently the recommended version to use, even if you are using wired.
