Quote:Use of the MotionJoy Playstation Gamepad Controller (public domain) in tandem with Apple Boot Camp and Windows 7 X4
Update on the use of MotionJoy. I found out the hard way, MotionJoy got corrupted and I had to reinstall. This has to be done sequentially or things will go bad.
1. Install Boot Camp. All BootCamp is, is a formatter utility, but it won't work unless a Windoze boot DVD or USB Ram is present. While running BootCamp, Windows-7 X4 will give you an opportunity to format the target partition; do so, otherwise Windows 7 X4 can't install. Windows-7 X4 installs and becomes operational in it's partition.
2. Install MotionJoy, plug in the PS-3 controller when it tells you to. Under Profiles tab pick Playstation 3. This will fail. Go to the Install drivers tab. This will fail, so pick the 2nd option to install anyway. It should succeed here, then go back to the profiles tab and test the controller (vibrate test).
MotionJoy is flakey, installing it first should make it slightly more reliable.
Leave the PS-3 game pad plugged in throughout, don't even think about unplugging it, until after you do a Windows 7 X4 shutdown.
3. Install Razer Synapse, and let it update if it wants to.
4. Install the RealTek Audio driver, provided by Apple in one of the bootcamp folders.
5. Lastly, install FFXIV. When FFXIV starts up, it will ask you to calibrate your PS-3 controller, this indicates success. Do the calibration and know that MotionJoy can cause problems later on.
Note: If, while your windows partition is active, you accidently unplug your PS-3 controller. MotionJoy gets corrupted and crap gets written back to disk, so you'll end up either doing a rull restore from backup or a full reinstall of everything.
Soon as I get a chance, I'll upgrade Parallels, and see if FFXIV will install then.
Cheers.
FFXIV Realm Reborn is the cure for Skyrim addiction.
Now, there is FFXIV addiction.
