Hi folks,
Details:
NoName PlayStation to USB adaptor
PlayStation DualShock2 Controller
Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Collection Nubytech Arcade Stick.
I have myself a PlayStation to USB adaptor, only problem is that I cannot use the D-pad on any games. Under control panel -> game and controller settings, the D-pad comes up as "Pov Info". The thumbsticks work okay (they are designated to x/y axes and slider/rz axes respectively).
So I did some googling and figured that to get the D-pad working, I'd need to disable the Analog button on the PlayStation controller. But problem is, the red light indiciating "Analog" is always on even if I push the button.
So I opened up the adaptor and found no bridged solder connections or dry points. But what I did find was a solder point which had not been used.

Its not one of the standard 9 pins but its located at the top of the input. Sorry for the crude graphics.
I decided to learn how to fix it first to
a) save some money buying another adaptor
b) learning a bit.
Thanks in advance

The pins in the adapter have nothing to do with the buttons on your pad. Try another pad or another converter.

hey, you should be able to use both the analog and d-pad at the same time. set your dpad keys with the analog button. if you cannot control the dpad, i think you have interference from another usb device. i have a psx controller with analog. when the analog button isn't pushed, the left analog controls the movement and the dpad does nothing. when the analog button isn't active, the left analog and dpad controls the movement, and the right analog and L1L2R1R2XBAY can control the action buttons. if you have a usb conflict, the control is mixed up.
make sure the red switch is selected on the side if it has both n64 and psx ports.
