Ape Escape analog stick problem

DrAlex666 · July 9th, 2009, 00:29

I'm trying to play ape escape at the moment but i can't seem to get the analog sticks on my dualshock controller to work when i reach the title sceen (infact when i reach the title screen none of the buttons work either), i've used the analog sticks on Spyro so i know they work.

Can anyone help? (if it helps i'm using ePSXe 1.7.0, Pete's OpenGL2 and P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver 1.4)

Did you try pressing F5 ?

yes i have tried that that, i press F5 and it switches it digital than turns it back to analog straight after

Well, if you press F5 and it switches to digital, that's not really what you want. It should be analog mode. But are you saying when you press F5 it switches modes and switches back immediately?

You can also try using PSXeven and the Harakiri pad plugin, see if that gives you better results.

Ensure that multitap is turned off and the other gamepads are disabled in ePSXe's gamepad configuration.

Yes it switches back immediately after i press F5, and i've tried PSXeven with the Harakiri plugin and that gave me a blank screen. I've also tried the Harakiri plugin with ePSXe andthat doesn't work either.

masta.g.86 - The multitap is switched off and disabled the other gamepad in config and still nothing

does your gamepad have an analog toggle button on it like a real psx dual shock controller does?

**jonc2006** · July 9th, 2009, 16:05

i'm afraid theres no change

**jonc2006** · July 9th, 2009, 16:57

strange. download epsxe 1.6.0 and set the mode to digial/analog in the pad config menu and be sure to press F5 when you start the game up, then see how it responds with that.

**jonc2006** · July 10th, 2009, 02:02

currently no, but i plan to buy the microsft thing to connect my 360 controllers to the pc when i have the money

Squall-Leonhart · July 10th, 2009, 10:56

Working fine for NTSC and PAL copies of Ape escape i have here, so the issue is PEBKAC

DrAlex666 · July 10th, 2009, 10:58

whats PEBKAC?

Squall-Leonhart · July 10th, 2009, 11:20

problem exists between keyboard and chair.

Enable analogue on the Controller, then go into the config screen and allocate the controls.

and stop using Petes CDR, use Sapu 1.3.

DrAlex666 · July 10th, 2009, 12:27

it works now thank you very much
