Pro Evo 3 on PC and PS2 pad

Pro Evo 3 is a wicked game...

So wicked in fact I got a PS2 pad so I could trounce the PC even more. And a PS2 - USB adapter from play.com.

Worked fine for a while, until the down arrow stopped working in PES. It works fine in the Game Controllers (control panel) screen, just not in the menus and the actual match engine in PES.

I've tried reinstalling PES, drivers etc, and even different usb ports, and it's still playing up. But the pad must be working as it's all fine in Game Controllers, and the game works fine with the keyboard (it's just better with the pad!).

Any ideas?

[System Spec- Athlon XP 2000+, MSI MS-6380 MB, 512MB RAM, GF FX 5200 (128MB RAM), SB Live, anything else can be given but it's not really relevant!]

Reward for getting this working- copious green reps!

Nope, the down arrow just doesn't work in the game- in control panel it works fine

Have you tried a reinstall of the game or your Gamepads drivers? If this doesnt work try contacting tech support with your query or go to the gamepads manufacturers website to download new drivers.

Both. Still doesn't work though, that's why I'm baffled, I would and have (in the post) try these as a matter of course.

Have you installed any software before or after that might be causing the problem?

The PS2 Controller is not designed for the PC so this must be where the problem lies. Have you tried buying a new PS2 to PC adapter? Does the analloge work?

But from the sounds of it there a software confllict somewhere, first of alll try using if theres anything that can be done from the controller menu in the windows control panel if not your only option may be to format your entire drive and then re-install.

Un-installing a game or drive usually leave files such as setting which wiill not be reset so the problem will still be there.

This seem to be a common problem with all ps2 to pc controls so its not gonna be easy to fix but can you try these ideas?:

1. Press Up+Start+Select and see if the down button starts working

2. Try using it at the same time as another button

Un-install the game and the controller drives and then DELETE the folders that remain for the drive and game then try re-installing

Spose I could email the adapter support thingy. But the thing that bugs me is that it works OK in CP but in PES it's not, must be a conflict somewhere between the game and the pad. Haven't tried it in any other games, don't know what the controls would be and afaik it doesn't work in vice city.

Re: Pro Evo 3 on PC and PS2 pad

its to do with the drivers you need to carry out a simple registry hack to resolve it however it will mean force feedback wont work

Simple steps below..

Start>Run>regedit

Once there navigate to....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro

l\Media Properties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_0B43

&PID_0003

Click on the + next to the 'VID_0B43&PID_0003' folder and you will see a folder called 'Axes'. Delete the Axes folder and the pad will now work, but Forcefeedback won't (Backup the key/registry if you need it to work!)

Re: Pro Evo 3 on PC and PS2 pad

Hmm, I'll try it (if I can forgive you for stealing our record :().

BTW, quick update...

Tried various things in the 5-10 mins spare before the Henman rinsing last night:

- All buttons work fine in game controllers, both analog and digital axes.
- Down arrow doesn't work in the game or the game settings, it works however when the analog is on
- Analog works fine but from experience this turns the digital off.
- Up-Start-Select doesn't work, neither does using it with another button, this is in the game btw.

Thanks so far guys, if I've not repped you I will be shortly.
