What kind of converter you have? Are you using native Windows drivers or drivers that came with the converter? It sounds like it might have got something to do with the PS2 pressure sensitive buttons acting out.

its a no-name converter. it just says ps2 to pc converter. it had its own drivers called "Superbox Pro and Superbox" thats what i read when i check it in the controllers-device section in the configuration menu. yeah thats what i thought, then i tried it also with an old grey PSX controller. same stuff. the keyboard is fine. when i switch from the pSX emulator to ePSXe everything is fine. its really weird

Yes, Tarun, if it still behaves that way when you use 'an old grey PSX controller,' I would think it must be an issue with the adapter rather than the controller.
However, what OS are you using? Have you tried using the adapter without drivers installed - most adapters only require drivers for rumble, and sometimes components of the driver can mess other things up rather than improve them?

I presume this means it's the error you get in the command line window that pSX opens with, squallheart? Not sure, but I think those are DirectX errors. There are a couple of things you could try: First, update your DirectX 9.0c installation. Microsoft actually updates DirectX 9.0c every couple of months or so - pSX, for instance, requires a D3D .dll that wasn't included in DirectX 9.0c until about a year after its first release. Secondly, the drivers for converters and controllers are often buggy. Try uninstalling them and see how it works without. Most converters and controllers (not all) will work without the drivers, which are only required for rumble/vibration, calibration and other extra functions. These are just guesses. If you want more help, you must supply more information. We don't know what operating system you're using, what sort of system you're running it on, or exactly what converter and controllers you're running - or trying to run. You need to describe the problem - what works as well as what doesn't - a lot more clearly. Does the controller/adapter combination(s) you're trying to use with pSX register properly in Games Options in Control Panel (I presume you're using Windows?)? Does this combination work properly with other applications? Are there other applications it doesn't work properly with and, if so, what happens there? I think it means you're lost ATM but only because you're not looking around and thinking...

yes i get it in the command line.
well here are my system specs
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 1 Gig Ram
The Adaptor is a
Super Dual Box Supports, Dancing MAt, USB Interface, Real Vibration, Two players
Ill describe more of the problems the adaptor does work fine with other games including frets on fire when i use my guitar and in project 64 as well. When i go into psx and edit the controller options i select Dualshock Controller since thats what im using in the Type field then register the corresponding control buttons. When i start a game it gives me that line and controlling feels odd at times. I go back and switch the controller type to normal pad and it works fine in that mode. I just wonder why not in dual shock mode. My adaptor supports it and vibration as well i tested it out by running a test in the configuration window of the adaptor. My direct x drivers should be up to day i updated them about two weeks ago when i reformated my pc. Oh yes and sometiems i get in the commmand window cannot read sector out of range or something like that which i dont know what it means though it doesnt influence the game.

Hey all... I have an EMS USB2, and it's not working well with pSX.
I can get it started and get to the configuration and set up the buttons, and it even works fine in a game after that, but when I close the emu and re-run it, it then crashes every time afterward until I delete the .ini.
I'm using driver version 3.00 which is the latest on their site, and am using the Normal/Advanced settings specified in the beginning of the thread... still no go.
Any ideas?

Rockfire PSU to USB Bridge (with driver V4.0)
I bought this in Maplin (UK) so that I could get some more use out of my obsoleted PSX controllers. It seems to work fine with all of the PC games and emulators I have tried except for pSX. When the bridge is connected pSX will crash and try to launch Visual Studio as the debugger almost every time (9 times in 10). It seems to be trying to access a protected area of memory.
Without the bridge attached, pSX functions perfectly. This is a shame because pSX is the best emulator I have seen for the PSX.
I am a n00b so if you need me to provide more information, let me know what it is and I'll try and post it.

Have you tried possibly using different drivers to see if that helps anything? Specifically, official or Microsoft drivers, whichever you aren't currently using already.

From recent comments in this forum, I decided to get a Logitech Rumblepad 2. works great in linux also, using KDE. Plugged into USB port and run "calibrate" in kde control center under Peripherals -> Joystick before setting up controls & [Type: "Dualshock"] in psx settings. Haven't figured how to get shaking working yet. I will update this post if I find the solution. edit: rumble works in Ubuntu 9.04

Yes, I'm a Linux user, too, saturday - although I'm using straight Ubuntu without the K... If by 'shaking,' you mean rumble, it won't work - there are at present no rumble drivers for Linux, although there has been some work on this recently. TBH there shouldn't be any need to calibrate a USB controller - just as well, since the apparently useful jscalibrator, which the KDE calibration utility is based on, has a nasty habit of disabling directional controls while still reporting them as working. The KDE version seems to work Ok, though.

The KDE version seems to work Ok, though. I tried uncalibrated controller in "Wipeout 3: Special Edition" game. Turning definitely feels more accurate with calibrated controller than it does with uncalibrated (turning is too steep/sudden with uncalibrated). Also forgot to notice that you need to change controller type from "Dualshock" to "Normal pad" with games like Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger (fortunately this can be done while game is running).
