Playstation controller

bitartrate

I have not been able to find a Playstation controller that works. I have tried 3 different dual shocks, 1 pelican, and 1 interact propad. Has anyone found a controller that works?

I have found a model that works. It is the Sony brand SCPH-10010. To test your controller
type in
10 DO
20 PRINT PAD(0)
30 LOOP
a bunch of zero's should start streaming up the screen and when you press a button on your controller it's assigned button number will travel up the screen. One more caveat I can only get the controller to work with firmware "basicengine-firmware-default-v0.88-alpha-346-g4d5b.tar" and the shmup demo game hangs with the controller plugged in.

Using
10 PRINT PAD(0),PAD(1), PAD(2)
20 GOTO 10
I tried 3:

PS 1 SCPH-1080 - Origional Playstation controller -didn't read at all (tried 2)
PS1 SCPH-1200 - Second version of PS joystick with thumb sticks - reads but hangs if it's in analog mode.
PS 2 SCPH 10010 - Duelshock 2 - reads but hangs if it's in analog mode.

You have to connected the controler before you run the program. If its plugged in while it is, it doesn't read. Pressing the analog button on the controller while the program is running will hang the computer. If the controler is set to analog before the program is run, it will stall after line 10. Pressing the analog again while it's hung up doesn't change the mode back. The hang only clears if the the controller is disconnected.

Questarian That is the same functionality I have experienced. It doesn't look like Engine BASIC source code supports analog mode yet. I had high hopes for the PS 1 SCPH-1080 controller but it seems like the firmware is written for the "duelshock" one and two?
