Cthulhu for PS3
« on: April 26, 2015, 09:43:09 pm »
Hey guys I bought a Cthulhu to use for my PS3 in my Daytona cabinet I'm building. So for controllers I have a Driving Force Pro wheel and pedals and the Cthulhu.When I set up the Cthulhu I tested it on my PC so I know the buttons all work. I have the Driving Force Pro in the first USB port and the Cthulhu is in the 2nd.The problem is the only buttons I can get to work are the buttons on the D pad and the triangle,square,circle, and the x button. The R1 R2 L1 start, select, and home do not work. L2 isn't hooked up. Okay guys I don't know crap about consoles. I don't know if I'm doing something bone head or not. I know all the buttons work when hooked to the PC. Only idea I have is to see if it works if I unhook the controls on my wheel. I need to get the PS button working at least so I can exit games. Any help would be appreciated

Isn't there a forum for this?  ::)
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Just a thought have you tested the buttons with the wheel unplugged?
Since all the buttons are working on the PC there's really no reason it shouldn't work, also double check all the disconnects and make sure all are properly secure.

I tried to unplug the wheel and with only the chthulu hooked up. it still didn't work.For sure the start, select, and home controls will not respond. not sure about L1,L2,R1, and R2. ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I don't know what else to try. The only thing I could possibly think of is reformat the Ps3.
