Sup Yea Forums, I got this cheap piece of shit for like $5 so I could play games with PS2 controllers on my computer, but the fucking thing doesn’t work. It detects it’s a joystick adapter but doesn’t register any input from the controller, apparently I can turn on and off the analog button with the red light but not much else. Sometimes I can get a red LED to turn on in the adapter itself by wiggling the PS2 connector at the point it’s basically disconnected and barely making contact, don’t really know what that means. Also I can’t install the driver CD because I don’t have an optical drive anymore.
Any of you own one of these pieces of absolute shit? Fuck China.
You want the thing to work without drivers but it's China's fault? dam, you're a retard
Andrew Wood
Most usb shit is plug and play these days, besides if it really needed it it wouldn’t be recognized anyways. Also I already tried looking for drivers online from the name it’s recognized as because I’m not a fucking faggot and it didn’t work either.
Robert Richardson
i have a similar adapter but it doesn't require drivers
It's not going to work without drivers, retard. Google the driver number on the CD and download it. You can't just plug shit in and it magically works.
Mason Foster
In 2019 yes you can lmao
Leo Ramirez
HAHAHA I HAVE THE SAME ONE OH PEE GOT IT AGES AGO
Its shit, pay real money for a real one.
Dominic Price
Expensive shit huge companies like Microsoft make is plug and play. Not random China hardware. You're lucky if the drivers work at all.
Charles Russell
>that ancient mac keyboard
wew
Isaiah Brown
What PS2 controller ever came with concave sticks? Did you replace them with the sticks from a Dual Analog?
Christian Butler
I have one of these but have never used it. I think sometimes the internal wiring is backwards too?
Jackson Gray
I actually have this blue piece of shit and. It works. I've had some issues with it (it rotates the buttons 90 degrees for some games), but outside that it's "fine".
Jackson Jones
Did you install any drivers for it? Because all I got is a fucking unlabeled cd with it and I can’t look for shit
Andrew Price
Not something like that you lazy retarded zoomer. I had to put in drivers for the PS2,3 and 4 controllers even with an adapter. You’re also compounding it by playing on a fucking ancient Mac it looks like. If you admit you’re a tide pod slurping zoom zoom retard and say daddy please help me I’ll hold your hand and walk you through it.
Its because you are trying to use it on a gucking mac. A system that is known to have fucking shit compatibility for the vast majority of all hardware and software in existence across all nations and cultures. Get rid of that Fisher Price babys first computer and then we will talk. Hell at least put linux on it or something. Even a shitty netbook with windows xp would be better than a mac.
Parker Ross
The thread should have ended here.
Jack Jenkins
Oh man. It's almost like this adapter comes from the PS2 era where things weren't like they are in modern days...
Jaxon Williams
Stop fucking around with Dualshocks and get a real controller.
I never installed drivers and it works fine, but I can't use it for the android. That was years ago now I have the ps4 controller
Ayden Green
YOU CANT PLAY GAMES ON A MACINTOSH FAGGOT KYS
Samuel Jones
you see his keyboard
Owen Williams
So put the CD in you absolute retard.
Elijah Gomez
All I did was plug it in. You may want to go into your device manager and see if it's showing up at anything at all when you plug it in
As said, if you're on a mac (I'm assuming you are), you're best route is to install windows on the computer because Mac is incompatible with everything, including that controller.
Asher Murphy
Time for bed gramps.
Leo Mitchell
It used to work on the switch, but they updated and now it doesn't.
Adam Diaz
>muh Mac muh Mac asfakdjsflds itoddler hahahaha muh overpriced muh retard muh faggot ashskakdhhsakldld Imagine how much the average IQ on this website would increase if Yea Forums and /g/ were deleted.
Logan Rivera
I have one of these, it never gave me a problem. I use it mostly on my PS3 and on the computer too, I even tested it on a Wii using Nintendon't and works well. just Plug and Play. The disc only has a driver that lets you use the rumble function. If the red led turns on, then your controller is detected. I think you just got unlucky and got a defective one (a very common issue with these adapters) Something must be loose, because if the adapter is working properly the led must be turned on at all times. BTW I don't think this may solve your problem but in this picture, the controller is plugged in the port 2.
>If the red led turns on, then your controller is detected Well I'm plugging it to port 1 and now for some reason when I wiggle the connector the LED for port 2 is blinking sometimes. What the fuck.
Zachary Gonzalez
OP probably wants a dpad that actually works.
Brandon Price
what the fuck is this
Isaiah White
Display of high intelligence right here
Landon Nelson
This is what the online tester says and I don't know what the fuck any of this means.
Just say Daddy please help me, and we’ll get you all patched up. You lazy retards should exercise some manners if you want your hand held. Or you know, take two seconds to google what driver you’d need and what folder to drop it into you absolute worthless knob. You don’t need a controller to watch someone stream on Twitch anyway, so what the fuck is it for?
OP i had one of these and I was also facing a similar problem. Luckily I have a friend who let me use his desktop to upload the driver software into a file. I can upload it to mega if you want.
That would be nice, thanks for not being a retard like 98% of this thread
Xavier Thomas
please do not help a retard who won't take 5 minutes to find an existing upload online
Dominic Reyes
If it's a DualShock 2, it won't work right off the bat. Most controllers run on XInput API. DualShock controllers run on DirectInput API and will need a 3rd party program to get it working on most PC games.
Jordan Collins
I got one of those and it stopped working within a week it's a piece of shit
what the fuck causes a xbox 360 controller to blue screen a pc? sometimes mine just starts disconnecting and reconnecting leading to a blue screen if i dont unplug it fast enough
Thomas Carter
Probably a PC in a gutted Mac case.
Anthony Bailey
loose connection on the cable. I've had this happen as well.
Camden Mitchell
Legitimately hope you get gonorrhea
Kayden Ramirez
Sounds like something wrong with the USB controller. Maybe a short circuit in the cable? Nobody will be able to help you unless you post the error code that shows up on the BSOD.
Oliver Miller
great thread. i like how everyone is calling each other faggots and retards etc while genuinely trying to figure out what the problem may be...
Kek. Okay, here's the real thing. mega.nz/#F!ojwAzSJL!BhKam2SdkT0lHBG_VIJAcQ You can download all of them if you want but IIRC only the conversion one actually made my controller work. Vibration one never worked and the rest, as far as i can tell, are just useless.
seems these things have a lot of issues, mine doesnt even light up when i put it in
Oliver Sanders
back in my days macfags were little normalfag sissies and not aggresive vidya gaaem trannies
Daniel Rodriguez
out of curiosity, could you post a picture of the cd, op?
Caleb Peterson
Same. Ever got it to work at all?
Adrian Stewart
mine works fine, haven't used it in a while but a ps2 controller with that adapter was my go-to PC controller for years (put hundreds of hours into DS1 on it at launch). try running it with steam big picture or x360ce.
i never even got around to using it. just popped the controller in and it worked
Jacob Perry
Fuck this gay earth
Blake Hill
>unlabeled >clearly has "don't put in direct sunlight for a prolonged period" labeled along with other labels the panda emoji
Luis Torres
i bought a ps3 controller to play ps2 games with button pressure but i just found out its chines and im really getting worried that the button pressure might not work i still havent tried it yet because im too scared
I thought all DS3 controllers couldn't into pressure-sensitive buttons. I could be wrong, can't arsed to check.
Carter Foster
why do i always see this grill when people talk about how bad macs and apple products it
Jose Moore
Horrible /g/ meme that ruins my beautiful waifu Satania
Xavier Mitchell
its either that or ps2 controllers and ps2 controllers are even much harder to set up they do have it but they was really not used that much so they removed that feature from the DS4
op you got scammed you fucking moron. that shitty cd? it's blank! there's nothing on it, some chink just sends out blank cds and broken adapters and you bought one! ahahahahah
Brandon Scott
asdfghasdjhgfghsasd
Robert Ross
I just got one of these to use with original Xbox controllers, what are the chances I'm also fucked?
Just like, use an Xbox style controller if you play on PC dude, it will save you a shit load of compatibility problems.
Luke Jenkins
get x360ce emulator, should work
Henry Davis
Get one of those cheap rock candy xbox controllers OP, they are just fine.
Hunter Sanchez
>Spend $40 on a shit controller that's uncomfortable as fuck No goddamn thanks.
Jack Gonzalez
its the best controller in existence autist cunt nigger
Jack Flores
No it fucking isn't you faggot cocksucker motherfucker
Jacob Thompson
I bought one of those adapters 4 years ago and it still works, gone through maybe 3 rigs then too. Windows will usually automatically install the driver (even if you turn automagic driver updates in win7) and the only issue I had is memorizing which is port 1 and 2. OP is a full on retard if he can't even get a driver installed.
Liam Bennett
Enjoy breaking your hands using a chinese bootleg controller then nigger
Lincoln Mitchell
Have the same blue dongle and its been working flawlessly for years. Is the gamepad genuine or third party copy?
Nolan Ross
no pressure sensitivity
Jordan Hernandez
>tfw no more purchasable legit ps3 controllers
Henry Baker
I have one and it worked for a while and then broke
probably defective
Isaac Barnes
Genuine, thumbsticks are aftermarket but that's it
Jordan Diaz
I wouldn't think you'd have to do anything. the xbox controller cord is literally USB with a proprietary plug. back when I modded my xbox, I just got a USB hub, cut and spliced it with an xbox controller cord and mouse and keyboard "just werked".
