So I found this thing online: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B071ZFKB1F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&language=en_GB&psc=1
But apparently it isn't just "plug & play", because my PSX controller doesn't work. It recognizes some device when I plug it in, installs a driver and shows up under devices as "PLAYSTATION(3) CONTROLLER", but when I then right-click on it and want to test the buttons, it doesn't register them.
Now I read that those adapters work easily with PS2 gamepads and I'm now guessing it's due to me having a non-analog gamepad, it has no sticks. To be specific, my controller is the SOPH-1080 one.
I already tried ScpToolkit but that didn't register the device correctly, or I did something wrong.
Would be nice to know if this is just a "communication" problem, or if the adapter just simply doesn't work on a PC.
The worst is, the amazon product page changes like weekly, when I first found that thing it was at 2€ and said "PS2 to PS3/USB", now it's at 88cent and it says "PS2 to Xbox 360", what?
The PSX Classic that comes out in a few weeks has USB Non-Dualshock controllers. Why not try and find one?
That might be an option, but I'd propably just get a dualshock then seeing you candisable the dual shocks.
However not sure if a used, but in good condition PSX/PS2 dual shock will cost me an arm and a leg or if I should just get a PS3 controller since it's cheaper or maybe even a PS4 one, though I highly dislike that one.
I already got a wireless battery powered Xbox 360 controller that I use for most other games, but it sucks for emulating PSX games as the back triggers are different, as in being an actual axis instead of a simple button.
ScpToolkit is retired, try the FireShock continuation.
You can get one working with a 3.3v arduino model, most of the available code floating around supports either the dualshock or the regular model. Main reason I haven't bothered to finish my library is that I don't have a bench supply, and didn't want to jury-rig 7v from a ps1 to test with 3rd party pads and memory cards. With a little elbow grease you can coerce existing libraries to support most anything short of something needing a crt hookup.
They start out acting like a standard pad, and you have to send the commands to enable dualshock mode. It will also go back into standard pad mode if you don't poll it fast enough as well.
