hi,
Could anyone help me or give me tips on how to install this product. I
purchased it from Play.com about a year ago so my sons can play games on
the
pc using their ps2 hand controllers. The disk only appears to "half load"
and
then nothing else happens. i am using Win XP home edition SP2.
Many thanx
Uninstall all the related software, reboot, then plug it in, Windows should
pop up asking for drivers, when it does that tell it to browse the CD for
the drivers and let it install them. Then run the setup program, hopefully
it'll work.
However if you get no joy with that I'd recommend the Xbox 360 wired pad if
you want a console-like controller (yes it does need to be the wired one at
the moment). That will just plug in and work and will set you back £25.
Using PS2 pads through adapters generally isn't an ideal situation even when
they do work they suffer from poor button mapping, support in games and the
analogue sticks rarely work properly. A friend of mine had one, he got it
to work but only in Pro Evolution Soccer, and even then the sensitivity was
way out.
The Xbox 360 pad going forward will be the default pad that games will be
setup to use, overall its a much better pad anyway.
