    I'm trying to get my PS3 controller working with my XP x64 install.  The normal third-party drivers for the controller won't work because they're win32.  I have hope for Java libusb, because on the news page, back in 2007, it says, "64-bit support (thanks to Jonas)".

    So anyway, I went to the installation instruction page, and it requires me to install libusb, which is a 32-bit project.  Also, in the installation procedure, it says nothing of a 64-bit system.  I'm just kind of confused as to how Java libusb can function properly on a 64-bit system, when the original libusb drivers are only 32-bit.

      libusb is available for 32 bit and 64 bit systems. For libusb-win32 there is also a 64 bit version:
      http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=40D04CAA7873C84995080C5EE73AAE4602823B%40ntomb01.corp.atmel.com&forum_name=libusb-win32-devel

      What's not available is a 64 bit dll for libusbjava as I don't have a 64bit Windows system. But you're very welcome to compile the dll yourself and send me the binary. The Java code is fully 64 bit compatible. That's what the message you mentioned is about. It has been tested at least on Linux 64 bit systems.

    It seems its possible to compile a 64-bit dll now using the MinGW 64-bit project: http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
    I've been trying to do this, but have been hitting some snags (it seems like you need the MS Driver Development Kit to compile libusb-win32. 

    Has anyone else had any luck?
