Vibration function w/PSX2USB adaptor

[Gismo]

As anyone a PSX2USB adaptor that can give the vibration function w/any plugins on XP?

I've the Super Joybox 4 (http://www3.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad/pc/pc_joybox4.htm or http://www.blue-sierra.com/sdb/index.php) but it doesn't vibrate at all w/Harakiri's plugin, even if in the Control Panel the player one can vibrate.

Bye, thx!

I don't think one exists, someone had a problem with that vibration too, it said it supported vibration but it simply didn't work

to campi:

do u know if does it exist, I mean, a 2-player PSXtoUSB adaptor (like mine, but not mine) on which vibration function works? Where can I find it?

Thx, bye

Use Hakariri's Plugin for PCSX, that should get the rumbling working...

er...

Unless you folks know something we don't....

The Harakiri plugin which is currently the only plugin designed to emulate rumble can only do so when using the FPSE emulator. The authors have yet to find a way to duplicate the effect on other emulators. It would rtequire the emulator to send specific calls. FPSE is the only emulator that does this..

ePSXe's internal Pad controls also allow it...these are currently the only two emulators to support rumble / force feedback

ok, Dark Watcher, I didn't read the Harakiri's readme, so I think it can support rumble even on P©SX. But, there's a striking feature I want to write of: in Harakiri, where u choose the force feedback device, there's also a test button and w/ my PSXtoUSB (Super Dual Box), this button works, I mean, if I click on this button, the first PSX pad and even the second one rumble . Ok, the second pad rumbles better than the first, but anyway, this is a good news, because in the future, even on P©SX there will be a rumble support . Obviously, in the game there's not rumble, the games which vibration slow down when the pad would rumble.

Thx, bye

I believe the Harakiri readme was written before the latest version of PCSX.
As I have no problem using the vibration feature with this combo, except that my computer is too slow

Gismo, if you'll still read this, or anyone else. Now, I have the EMS USB 2 Converter, and the only way I can get Rumble Support in PCSX is if I use, as Controller 1, Harakiri's Plugin, and use a different Plugin for Controller 2. If I use Harakiri's Plugin for Controller 1 and 2, it doesn't work......

thx, ready2rumbelX, here my results w/ your "trick":

as u remember, I've a Super Dual Box, which is a PSXtoUSB adaptor for 2-player pads, I mean, only one adaptor > 2 PSX pads plugged in

- if I leave the 2 pads on in the Windows System (Start > Control Panel > System > Peripheals), I've the rumble (and analog) support on ePSXe only i I set Gamepad1 w/ the keys of the 2nd-player pad. On P©SX, I've no rumble at all (I've only in the Harakiri pad config window, when I press the Test button), but the analog works well (for the 1st-player pad and for the 2nd one)

- if I disable the 2nd-player pad in the Windows System, on ePSXe I can have the rumble (and analog) for 1st-player pad and even on P©SX! well, the rumble for the 2nd-player pad is quite better (more precise and stronger), but anyway, I can have the rumble on P©SX, thx

- if I disable the 1st-player pad in the Windows System, I can't use nomore the Harakiri pad, because it gives me an error "PAD1init error : -1" and the pad plugin config window crashes

Obviously, I made my tests w/ Harakiri pad for Controller 1 and Null Driver 1.0 for Controller 2, w/ GT2 - Arcade Mode Disc and THPS4.

So, on P©SX (but even on ePSXe), it's "only" a driver/plugin problem, the rumble and analog work well .

For your EMS USB 2 on ePSXe, I'm still thinking of it, but it's a bit hard to find a solution :confused:: as I don't have that PSXtoUSB, I can't do every tests I'd like and so my ideas r a bit slow to coming out . The possible solutions r wait for:
1) next ePSXe release, maybe it'll have the support for external pad plugin (so u can use the Harakiri one ) or a better internal pad plugin (but already the present is a good one)
2) next drivers from HKemu (as we know, unfortunately, they'r quite slow in development)
3) a striking flash in my mind

Hope to help u ASAP... Again thx for the trick!

Thx, bye

Man, i'm glad I helped. It's the least I could do after all the help you gave me.

I have a problem though, which happens with any software that uses Dual Shock or Force Feedback, whether PCSX, Project 64, Colin McRae 2 or Duke Nukem : Manhatten Project...

Basically, once the pad rumbles, every so often, I lose response with the pad. So, if in Colin McRae, i'm driving on a dirt road and the pad is rumbling, if I'm turning right, at some point I lose response with the pad, and I keep turning right, until after a few seconds, I get response again.....and this happens alot.

I emailed HKEMS about my problem with Colin McRae 2 a little while ago, and I got a reply (I believe I mentioned this), but I wanna send another one to tell them that it's not a problem with Colin McRae, but with any application using Dual Shock or Force Feedback.

I need somebody hlp.
I've just bought this product http://www.dilongsz.com/en/product_details.asp?id=242
it's also a hub ps/ps2 adaptor and I'm trying to play Silent Hill with rumble/dual shock/forced feedbak or however you wanna call it. But I haven't made it yet. I've tried with epsxe1.6 and with the last pcsx using harakiri's plug but still doesn't work :-(
