Now we have already told you how BlueMaemo lets you use your N900 as a PS3 controller, but what if you want to do the other way around? That is use a PS3 Sixaxis controller as an input device for emulated games on N900: its possible now. But it’s no simple app that can let you do that but it involves a bit of fiddling around with the kernel and installing a SixA daemon. So unless you want to get your hands dirty, this hack is not for you.

But you don’t have to lose heart. What if you are not brave enough to poke your finger at the core of the OS-kernel, you can always admire the work done by others. So let’s first do that, by taking a look at this demo video released by Tomasz Sterna aka Aberration, who takes the credit of being the first person to connect the PS3 Sixaxis controller to N900.

If that is something you fancy doing to your N900, I would suggest you drop by Aberration’s blog. Honestly, I wouldn’t dare fiddle around with the kernel of Maemo, but then there are score of Linux users out there who do it on a daily basis. So do let me know, if you are able to get this working.
