PSX pad on PC problem

[Verteks]

I connected my PSX controller to the parallel port and installed the drivers, but none of the buttons work, only the analog led works.

Hmm.... NTPad I think has a settings panel in which it will ask what controller is plugged in the parallel port. Did you try it?

Depending on the country, online shopping might not be an option.

The guide in emulatronia says:

If even after feeding the 5 V, does not work anything (except button ANALOG, that now ignites the light), you will have to make a small modification in the connections. Simply it clears the diode that is welded to pin 9 of the DB-25 and directly welds a cable that goes connected to that already it is welded in the other end of the other 4 diodes.

Is it really ok to remove that diode (while using an external 5V)? I'm afraid it would **** up my pc.

Here is the diagram:

Highly unlikely that would happen.

Anyway, it seems you actually (Had mine premade by a friend by about five years ago.) there wiring yourself, I think you might have just made a mistake somewhere else, like wires not making actual contact.
