[SOLVED] Use PS3 USB controller

Hi! I'm trying connect PS3 USB controller in my laptop for gaming with PS3 controller, but doesn't work .

I press te center button  and the red light is turn on, but still not  working I have been search in Google and I found some information, including joy2key, and when I type:

joy2key -dev /dev/input/js1 -terminal

Recognizes that I moved the joystick and recognize that I press a controller's button, but still not working in games

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
