Using Hori Fighting Stick 3 on PC: Driver Compatible?

SUMMARY

The Hori Fighting Stick 3, originally designed for PlayStation 3, is recognized by Windows XP when connected via USB, but fails to register button or stick movements in the game controllers menu. Users have reported that a specific driver is required for functionality, but it is compatible only with 64-bit Windows systems. Attempts to use alternative drivers, such as those found on Megaupload and Rapidshare, have proven unsuccessful for 32-bit systems. A solution for 32-bit compatibility remains elusive, raising the possibility of needing to develop a custom USB driver.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of USB device recognition in Windows operating systems
  • Familiarity with driver installation and compatibility issues

I have the Hori fighting stick 3 (arcade stick) that has a USB connection. It is meant to be used with the Playstation3 but I'd like to use it for the PC.

When I connect it to the PC via USB it is recognized by Windows XP but in the "gamecontrollers menu" no button or stick movement is recognized.

Now, others have the problem too (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=144479 ) but only few of the people
have managed to use the arcade stick with the help of a driver. The problem is that the driver seems to work only on 64Bit Windows systems.

Is there any way to make the driver work on 32bit systems? Or do I have to program a USB driver myself?

I tried both drivers but unfortunately they don't work. The fs3drv.zip allegedly only works on 64 bit systems. Thanks anyway.
