hello everbody,

ive made the horrid mistake of buying a twin usb PS2 controller off Ebay.
by twin usb i mean that there are two ps2-like controllers that are connected by one usb.
the driver that was supplied with the mini CDdoesnt seem to do anything (i've managed to find an empty folder that it puts in Program files)

the device manager doesnt report of any malfunctioning devices, but there is one "Unknown Device" that appears to be installed and working properly.

i cant find any drivers for the damn controllers on the internet, and the company seems to be a little unknown.

is there anything that i can do?
thanks in advance

haha, im pretty sure I bought the same controls as you rofl.gif

4$'s right?

Yea it sucks lol, my macbook picks it up as only one controller, second one wont work.

Not been able to find drivers either, probably the best thing to do is cut the cable and attach another USB on the end. At-least thats what im going to do when I got some free time. So do so as your own risk ..

yup it was pretty cheap.
i was expecting to get some fake remotes or something, but when i got the actually product i at least expected it to work somehow.

there must be something i can do with this garbage...
this is the prodcut:

ive also tried sending them an email but i highly doubt any response will come.
se7en.hu
Yea, I already sent them an email too, they replied but said that they dont have drivers for Vista or Mac.

And yep, thats the same one i got lol, we got screwed over pinch.gif

As I said all I can really think of doing is snipping the cable ..
holydire
umm is there any chance that you upload your driver? maybe mine is simply corrupt.
se7en.hu
I got no driver, I only had that mini CD it came with but I cant even put that into the slot loader on my macbook cause its going to break it pinch.gif

Without any driver (or I should say, with the generic gamepad driver built into osx) only one controller works for me and not been able to find a solution hmm.gif


But then what Im finding wierd is the fact that, on both controls all buttons are called the same name .. So I think that the manufacurers intention was to **** us over, or that we use one control with our hand and the other with our foot wacko.gif

do you have a pc somewhere that will be able to read the CD?
you're lucky cuz they both dont work and it sucks alot more that way tongue.gif

edit:
both controllers should have the same buttons names, its supposed to be that way.

Looks the same as the file i got, but this time it actually puts files in the program files folder instead of just putting an empty one there.

still doesnt do the trick though :-(
if it works should it appear under game controllers or something?
se7en.hu
not sure where abouts in windows, but yea it should come up .. In mine it just comes up as Twin USB Joystick.



Im going to try snipping the cable tomorrow though and I'll let you know how that goes.
holydire
doesnt work at all :\
still installs the unknown device , no clue of twin usb except various folders spread out across windows (Program files & Windows)
no sign of it in device manager whatsover.

thanks for trying though,
anyone else ? please?
