PSX to USB Adapter Question

--- Quote from: QB1DABOMB on December 23, 2009, 10:06:46 am ---The adapter came with a very small disc labeled "drivers"; it's tiny though so I presume it's for a laptop? (never having owned one I don't know if it would fit a laptop CD-Rom?) Either way the adapter will never load anything other than as a TWIN USB Joystick right? Adding drivers wouldn't change that fact?

Laptop CD-rom is the same size as standard... both can read the normal size and mini discs.
If you haven't added the drivers at all, that could be your problem. It may have software to read the controller properly. I know my Trio-Linker Plus is like this. You have to add the drives to get it to work right.
In any case, if that doesn't work out for you, I have found something that does:

QB1DABOMB:
Excuse my ignorance with this question; putting the mini disc in my CD ROM is the equivalent of putting a dime in the middle of a donut...how do I get the disc to load then?
Thanks for your patience
Hoopz:
There should be a smaller ring in your disc drive tray to set the smaller disc into.

Usually, there's a minidisc size indention in the tray, if it's a slot load CD, you're probably out of luck.
I just picked up a PSX to USB adapter for dance pads, First I got a hvg2 from Frys.
Total fail. It treats the directional arrows as joysticks, so you can't press left and right at the same time.
Then I picked up an EMS USB2. It works, but not under Win764. The drivers won't load and you need them to be able to map the arrows to buttons properly.
The good thing is my cab is running Vista 32, and the drivers work fine there. Plus the company seems to be in process of making 64bit drivers.

Yeah, HKEMS has always been good about updating their drivers. I miss Lik-Sang, that's where I used to get all of their stuff...
