Hey Adriel,
Are you using a dualshock3 controller. Can you post the output of the sixpair script and which raspberry pi are you using.

Hey adriel,
Can you try following the guide here: http://booting-rpi.blogspot.in/2012/08/dualshock-3-and-raspberry-pi.html and check if that works for you. Also which Pi are you using with this.
