driver for blue triangular playstation 1 controller to usb adapter
hi. i have a blue triangular adapter used to connect the original playstation dual shock controller to a USB port. my windows 7 starter computer did find a driver for it to use, but it was a little bit buggy with epsxe (though still useable with workarounds), but the main thing is that there was no rumble functionality.
i thought i had lost the driver disc that came with my adapter, and looked for two hours or so on the internet for a driver that would work, with no success!
but now i have found the driver disc! and i installed it. i have good rumble functionality using pcsx-reloaded (but not epsxe, and only partial functionality for pSX), using the harakiri plugin. the games i've tested the rumble feature with are the Metal Gear Solid Demo disc, Legend of Lagoon disc 1 [NTSC], and Silhouette Mirage [NTSC]. i am quite happy that i can play these games on my netbook with rumble, instead of having to use my (not very accessible) TV!
i want to put out the file that came on my driver disc in case anyone else has the same problem.
note: i still don't know if my adapter is a dilong pu203 adapter, a Super Dual Box adapter from Mayflash, or even something else. i say this because on the internet it says that the adapter i got has been duplicated by at least one company, (and complicating matters is that Mayflash has three or more different versions of this adapter), so it may not be clear which adapter you actually have just by looking at its appearance.
` i think (but am not sure) that i bought this adapter through ebay, about three or four years ago.
so my adapter looks like the picture in the attachment called "with indentation.jpg"
and it DOESN'T look like the picture in the attachment called "without indentation.jpg"
(notice the indentation around the ring of the "dome" on the adapter).
` also, my adapter lights up with a red LED light.
the two other jpg files are the packaging my adapter came in.
and the ZIP file is a zip of the one file that was on the driver disc.
after installing the adapter, i could go to Devices and Printers in my Windows 7 Starter system, and then right click my adapter (called Twin USB Joystick), and select "Game Controller Settings". under "Installed Game Controllers", there will be two items listed, both named the same thing: "Twin USB Vibration Gamepad". for me, it was the second one that i need to choose; (i'm not sure if it's because of which slot in my adapter i plugged in my controller, or not).
` from there, there's a button test and a vibration test, both of which worked for me. please note that the "vibration strength" you set under the vibration test actually does affect how strong the vibration will be in the emulator.
in the harakiri controller plugin, under the Direct Input ForceFeedback setting, i also have to choose the second listed "Twin USB Vibration Gamepad" item. i also set both the large and small motors to "Constant".
` also note that though the harakiri plugin remembers the button configuration you have to laboriously create, it seems to forget the Direct Input ForceFeedback selection you made every time you close PCSX, so you have to re-configure that part every time you open PCSX.
` in PCSX, i choose the harakiri plugin for controller 1, and the other plugin that came with PCSX (i think it's called SSSPSX Pad Pressure Mod 1.6) for controller 2 ; i didn't test it using both harakiri, but i read someplace on the internet that this can make the emulator crash.
-------------------------------------
in case anyone might be helped by this:
- i got rumble to work in epsxe. i needed to select DXJoy2, instead of DXJoy1, under the gamepad configuration (and choose constant for the large motor and sine for the small motor).
