    I just recently bought this converter to be able to use my ps2 controller in a PC Game. Everything works fine, until I go to the game it won't work. The controller turns on and works fine when I do the calibration on the Game Controllers under the Control Panel. I just don't know how to make it work for the game. Has anyone else had this problem? I would appreciate any help. thanx

    What game are you playing? You need to go to the in game controls settings menu and then program each button for each action.

    it's MX vs ATV Unleashed. I already went into the control settings and did all of that, but it doesn't work. Even if i set each button with the keyboard it still won't work. What else do you think it could be? thanx for the reply man.

    maybe you need to install some software that came with the adaptor and you have not done so. There are usually "special drivers" for this sort of thing.

    For example, installing Linux on an iPod needs a driver. It probably just isnt recognised as a Plug And Play device.

    well, as soon as I hooked it up on the usb input, a little message came up telling me that the hardware was installed and ready to use. But maybe ur right, maybe i do need a software to install in order to make it work. thanx for the replies man... I really appreciate it
