PSX joystick problems Jun 29, 2011 19:01:13 GMT -5

Alright, so recently I ported my own ps games to PSX with an image burner, and I have been experiencing a few issues.

1: when I hold directly forward while playing ape escape, the character only moves half speed, as if I was only pushing the joystick half forward. I tried to test this on other games which brings me to problem 2.

2: how do I enable joysticks on early ps games that only used the d-pad?

I am using a ps3 controller, with installed drivers. It works fine for n64. Ive set it ad both dualshock and analog.

Sorry for any spelling errors, I am currently out and using my iPhone and it's spellcheck.

1: If I remember correctly, Ape Escape has a internal range calibration mode. So be sure that has been executed properly there. Although I haven't played that in years and I only rented it when it was new, so I maybe confusing another game.

2: pSX does not support for the Analog Button found on the DualShock controller. So you must switch between the Standard and DualShock configuration modes.

If you need some computer help, try asking me. I might be able to assist you.

Thanks for that, but as for my second question, I understand that I have to switch between dualshock and a normal PS1 controller, but in turn that means that I can't use my joysticks on PS1 games designed for the D-pad?

I also checked Ape Escape, and there doesn't seem to be a Range Calibration Mode.

You can, but you will have to remap the D-pad to the thumb-stick and back when you want to play it normally.

And I'm sorry I can't be much more of help about Ape Escape, I don't have a copy to see what could be wrong.
I did forget to ask if you Calibrated the controller in Windows. Just note that if you assigned axis for pressure buttons, just remember which buttons are assigned so you can complete the calibration.

Hello guys, I have a similar problem that mikiyikiy. With one but - I have worked d-pad with the analog. But after a while analog stopped working, and playing d-incidence is not convenient. Prompt please, what's the problem? Dualshok use of PS3 with the drivers from motionjoy. From Russia with love.
