Please help me find a driver

Mr cairo · Dec 20, 2003, 01:02 PM

i need a driver for a joytech ps2 to usb controller convertor its this one from play.com

with the current driver the pad is acting as if there is a button constantly depressed and it wont stop cycling through the menus i have configured it in the control panel and that says all is ok ( although after configuring the controller the apply button is still grayed out )

why is there never a link for click here for updated drivers in the setup folder or a link to the manufactures driver site

its this one from play

link isn't working for me.... but does it have a motion sensor on it? I had one like that and had to remember to deactivate the motion sensor on it or it would constantly scroll. Just something to check I suppose....

nah its just a Basic port you plug the ps2 pad into and it runs to a USB on the pc no sensors or anything

thing is the install CD is spartan to say the least and there is no handy pamphlet

all i have is the info on that link for play and that isnt a lot to on ........ sorry

i also looked on driverguide no luck

any read me's, model numbers, filenames that the current drivers use etc would be hot

USB Controller Drivers 23-09-2001

Hardware:
SmartJoy3
SmartJoy3 2 Player
USB Gamepad

Operating Systems:

Win98, WinME, Win2K

IMPORTANT: Install software before plugging joystick adapter in.

To install software:

Double click "setup.exe"

If any previous drivers have been installed, a dialog will be shown,
listing those drivers that have been removed.

Windows will then copy the necessary files, and may ask you for
your Windows CD, and the current install directory.

Once the software is installed, the adapter can be plugged into the
USB port - after a short delay, an entry will appear in the Control
Panel for Game Controllers.

Important note for using ASCII fishing controller:
Use switch position 2 for fishing
use switch position '.' for dual shock emulation with tilt

is it new? If not, sounds like a common button failure in controller itself, can you test the controller on an actual ps2?

aye works fine on the ps2 just not on the pc suspect its a driver issue ..... at the mo i am trying to find this driver SmartJoy3 2 Player ...

normally if it says Win2k compatible it will work on XP, I seriously cant see them selling this product if it doesnt work on XP. Play would have a nightmare on their hands with it. it might be you received a faulty convertor. unfortunately I cant test the one i ordered as it still hasnt arrived.

the phrase "cant see the forest for the tree's" comes to mind

after 2 weeks of trying various drivers i reformated the pc and installed letting windows detect it ............................... it worked perfectly

then i plugged in my joystick for planes in bf and the pad went to hell in a handbasket

all this time it was the joystick all i had to do was unplug the usb lead ........... ah well live and learn eh
