Direct Pad Pro

Stealth · April 8th, 2002

Is anyone here using the Direct Pad Pro with PSX Controller and selfmade cable?

i would like to compare it with mine to find where is my problem

lazywanker · April 8th, 2002

i have one but i didn't use an extension cable as suggested. i just cut the psx connector off. don't know if i can be of any help though.

cool, i cut off the connector to, could you describe how did you made it? How does the driver reacts? Does the pad need external power suply, i think, its my problem..

the most common problem is having the wiring reversed. make sure you know exactly which wire is which and from what end your diagram is looking at (into male or into female, etc).
secondly, you only need an external 9v power supply if you are using the rumble feature. there is a 5v draw from the lpt which is enough for normal use.

hmmmmm, there is just no reaction, i did it all exactly as sayd, (my father did it

he is a pro) so, i dont think, the problem could be there...hmm

its just not reacting, i can look at it
maybe there is really a problem with it, maybe the numbers on the lpt connector were wrong

How do I supply 5v to the printer port?

Why don't you just use a PSX->PC connector like some of us.
