Playstation Some games not working with PS3 wireless controller D=

[Fusionist]

I have a 60GB PS3 I bought about a year ago and it still works fine *knocks on wood*, however some PS2 games won't work with the controller (like FFXII). I need to keep it plugged into the system for the games to recognize it.

I was willing to just accept it since I just assumed PS2 games didn't catch up to the compatibly, but now a PS3 game I bought won't acknowledge the controller unless it's plugged in D=

I haven't tried all my games to see if it's specific games or my system, but is there a way to fix this? I'm thinking about just buying a longer usb cord, but was there a patch I wasn't aware of maybe..?

Thanks~

I noticed on the PS3 we had (broken now) it would turn the controller off when it started, but pressing the PS button activated it again, so try pressing the PS button again when it's started up. Dunno if that'll help.
Also, the other options > smoothing can help the picture a little on larger screens.

Update

Finally got around to playing my PS3 again, and tried the on-off thing. It looked liked it worked. Thanks
