I know there have been a lot of these and I've searched around and can't seem to find anything like my issue. Everything runs great until I try to configure a controller. I have a PS2 to USB and when I go into the controllers it says Dual USB Force Feedback Joypad. I'm running on a Pentium 4 2.66GHz with 1.25 gigs of RAM and an ATI Radeon 9600 When I go into where I can configure the controller I can change several option and even set several of the buttons. The faster I do this the better. If I'm not fast enough the program will just freeze up. I can't get a log of what's happening because the whole program will just crash flat-out. After a crash I have to reboot the computer in order to get the program started at all again. Thanks.  |

Is your adapter blue or red? And where did you get the drivers for it? What is the date on them?

cainova, there have been plenty of controller problems reported on the forum, and many around Playstation controllers connected through an adapter.
However, I can't immediately think of a problem like this; I'm wondering if it may not necessarily be a controller problem as such, although it may be - certainly you want to respond to Gamesoul Master's questions.
I would check that you have the current chipset drivers for your motherboard installed, and a recent (more recent than June last year) version of DX 9.0c.
Also, it might be worth downloading the emulator afresh, nuking the old installation (you just need to delete the pSX folder) and reinstalling - don't forget to save anything you put in there; BIOSs, images etc. You didn't say, by the the way, which version of the emulator, which BIOS or which OS you are using. Information like this can be important.

Information like this can be important. I've got the latest drivers for the computer and just updated to the latest version of DirectX. I've downloaded a new version of 1.8 and saw in another post so I also have the 1.9 WIP. I'm using the SCPH1001 bios. I'm running Windows XP SP2. I've never had problems with the controller under other programs/games. If there's any more information I can get to help just ask. I'm not in a big rush to fix it cause the keyboard still works. I did borrow my g/f's Super Dual Box Pro connector and with that one, it immediately jumped through the buttons and set them to Axis-5 which I've seen on this board several times... but I did get that one to work just fine after a while. |

You should be able to find out what drivers you have for your controller adapter in Device Manager, cainova. Look for the adapter (my Logitech USB pad is listed under Human Interface Devices, fo instance), check its Properties, go to the Driver tab and see what it says there. There may be a couple of entries (again, my Logitech pad is listed as an HID device and a USB device); look at both and see which has which drivers. The USB listing for mine has the Microsoft driver and the HID device has the Logitech driver - they'll be dated, too.

Under HID it just says HID Compliant Game Controller and under USB it appears that it's PCI to USB Open Host controller. The date on the driver under both is 7/1/2001. Eesh. I managed to work around the problem earlier by starting the emulator, unplugging the adapter from the USB and then plugging it back in before going into the configuration. It lasted long enough for me to input the commands, shut down the emulator and back up the ini file. |

You seem to have the same exact product I do. Try following the directions I posted here. The post to look for is my first on that page (the third post overall on the page). Doing so will give you the latest drivers installed as I have them installed (which works fine for me). Might not help, but it's definitely worth a try. |

If this is the adaptor I'm thinking of, I bet I know what the problem is. I have this exact same adaptor, and the default drivers on the disc/floppy have a SERIOUS problem with force feedback-- any attempt to use force feedback hard-locks the application and sometimes the system. A 'beta' driver was released to fix the issue, but had other problems (which is why I'm using the standard Windows HID drivers.. no force feedback, but it all works as it should otherwise.)

Well, it sounds like he has the exact adapter I have, and the drivers I got on that site worked perfected fine for me (including the force feedback). I don't know about the drivers on the floppy cuz when I was using them (back when I still *had* the floppy disc), I never bothered to test any kind of rumble feature. I only used the adapter at that time for 16-bit console and lower emulators, and Stepmania, so testing wasn't possible even if I had wanted to.
