Issues with my EMS USB PSX to PC converter

Novalon · August 22nd, 2007

Hello all, I recently started getting into emulation again after a long hiatus, and was saddened to find that my controller adapter is not working as well as I remember it.

I keep getting the dreaded Code 10: Device cannot start.

I have lurked around on the internet and actually found the website, and have done everything they have suggested, uninstalling and plugging in again, upgrading to the newest drivers, starting the computer without the device in it, then plugging it in, etc...

If anyone on these wonderful forums has some input on my problem, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks.

Well, I don't really know, so I'll just speculate...perhaps your device is just dead?

I've had two different USB-PSX adapters just die on me for no apparent reason. It's a possibility...

Controller adapters are often quite cheaply made. If you have any soldering skills, try opening it up and resoldering the joints.
