I'm trying to use a playstation controller to play some games, but I can't get it to work. Is there a way that I can get it to work or is the playstation controller just not compatible?

Tech support:

ArcadeOX Score Mode will automatically detect and configure your controller if it is plugged in before you load the game. To change the default settings press Tab in the game to bring up the menu.

ArcadeOX Full Mode will also automatically detect your controller if it is plugged in before you load the game but you will have to use the menu to configure it before it will work.

Java Modes will not automatically detect your contoller unless your controller is capable of simulating keyboard input. For Java we reccomend this xpadder tutorial (http://retrouprising.com/private-forums/tips/how-play-games-using-controller-using-xpadder/t2865/#post58589).
Recommended controllers.
Retrozone (http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?categoryID=79) - Real retro Nintendo and Sega game pads for your PC.
XBOX 360 (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360controller/) - Plugs into a PC too. This is a great controller.
Act Labs (http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?pid=38) - Not the best controller but it is decent and cheap and can simulate keyboard input making it perfect for Java and some Flash games.
X-Arcade (http://www.x-arcade.com/) - Arcade style. Fairly expensive but nothing beats having arcade quality sticks. Also can simulate keyboard inputs making it great for Java Mode too.


There you have it, GC.
I've always used the keyboard and haven't had any problems, although it did take some getting used to at first.

Depends on the operating system.

Works well in XP, not so much in Vista and 7

Search for sixaxis drivers on google, I use one called Game Saike.

If you search the forums for
sixaxis
you will find some info about the PS controller.

I checked the options in full mode and the name of the controller is there, but how do I get it to work from there? I picked the name of the controller and applied the changes, but it still didn't work.
