USB game pad drivers

azminz · Feb 26, 2005, 04:51 PM

I bought a USB PS2/PC adapter, which means I can use my PS2 game pad as a USB controller/joystick on my PC. The problem is that the software that came packaged with the adapter wasn't very in-depth about customization options. I searched online and found a program called Total Game Control, but it costs $20 unless you want a nag screen reminding you to buy the program to pop up every couple of minutes, thus disrupting any gameplay. I was wondering what kind of software or drivers you guys use with your USB game pads. I just need a program or driver that allows you to map the mouse to the right analog stick of a game pad and also control the sensitivity and stuff like that. Thanks.

Greetings,

What kind of USB PS2/PC adapter is it? I don't use the software for mine because I find that the default Windows XP drivers work great (minus the vibration feature). Try going into Game Controllers option in the Control Panel to customize/calibrate basic features for the controller.

As for mapping the mouse and such, I can't think of a program which allows that which comes free.

Thank you for answering. I found a program which solved the problems I was having. It's called Joy To Key (you can download it here). If anyone is having problems with their gamepad not being recognized in games, I suggest you use it. It's great, and while it may seem to be a little difficult to understand at first, it's easy to configure. For starters, after you install it, go to the tab named "Others" and check the following boxes: "Use POV switches" and "Use axes other than X and Y". After, that, click on the "Joysticks" tab and you are free to customize analog sticks, buttons and pretty much everything else on your gamepad controller. On the right analog stick, by the way, axes X and Y are called "Axis 3" and "Axis 6", respectively. Hope you guys find this program as usefull as I have.
