HELP!! I can't get my USB Controller to work on epsxe!!

Alucard1987 · May 26th, 2006

Hi guys! I am in need of some assistance!!

I JUST got a psx emulator.. v. 1.6.0 and i set everything up and all and then come to find out that my controller isn't responding!!! :

I have checked everything possible that i can think of and epsxe isn't recognizing any buttons..

I have a Game Elements PC Recoil USB controller btw... what could be wrong?? Any and all help would be MOST appreciated!!!

my answer is: look for a controller plugin that supports gamepads!

darth sephiroth, if you were paying attention, he is using ePSXe, which doesnt support controller plugins.

anywho...does the controller work in another emulator if you use a pad plugin? does it work in any other game or app at all?

darth sephiroth · May 26th, 2006

hmm, i never needed to change it so i never noticed it didn't support that, what a drag

perhaps you will have to try another emulator?

oh yeah, then why do you have an "input plugins" section under "epsxe plugins"????++

Yes.. the controller works GREAT on my JNES, Snesx9, Visualboyadvance, and NeoRage X... I am not too familair with the different types of controllers.. i just picked one up that looked like a pS2 controller.. which it does.. It works on every other emu i have.. what can i do?

**hushypushy** · May 26th, 2006

try using PSXeven, SSSPSX, or PCSX with harakiri's, nrage's, or the SSSPSX pad plugin.

Have you even tried ePSXe?

As for the original problem. This may be a long shot: but do you have any Saitek USB peripherals on your PC? Such as the Gaming Keyboard, Eclipse, etc? There are issues (that are easily resolvable) with certain programs and Saitek USB products.

Thats strange I have a saitek and the only emulator I can get fully working is epsxe

Btw does anyone know where to find a better controller, more like the psx controller, the saitek isnt bad, but its not that good either. Im only playing silent hill right now so I dont need perfect controll.

I STRONGLY recommend this here:

all the buttons you can need... PS2 controller layout..i use it but i dont think it works well with the epsxe emulator :cuss2:

however with nes, snes and gba emulators it will be a jewel

**hushypushy** · May 27th, 2006

if you're looking to buy a new controller, then get a USB PSX adapter, so you can hook your PSX controller to your computer. it's more like the PSX controller, hell, it IS the PSX controller

Alucard1987 · May 27th, 2006

so what are my options guys? What control plugins do i need for this controller??

**ShendoXT** · May 27th, 2006

In epsxe you can't use pad plugins (epsxe have built-in one) so if it is not working try to use different emulator.
For me the best plugins for PSX emulators are harakiri and SSSPSX pad plugins,
as for the emulators you can try using PSXeven, SSSPSX, or PCSX as hushypushy said.

Any hints on where I could buy one, tried eb and gamestop, they look at me like I have 3 heads.

**ShendoXT** · May 28th, 2006

i've two; i got one from lik-sang, and i got one from a shop in Japan. the latter might be a bit of a stretch, but you can always go to Lik-Sang (like Shendo posted).

Thanks muchly to both of you, I cant swing a dead cat without hitting a radioshack around me.

I think Ill go pick one up tommorow.

**hushypushy** · May 28th, 2006

take note though, i have been to several radio shacks and i've never seen this adapter. so, good luck to you.

Sklasko · May 28th, 2006

Just noticed this thread. Am I missing something? My controller works fine with ePSXe. Never had any problems. How is his any different?

**hushypushy** · May 28th, 2006

do you have the exact same controller?
