I am not too sure.

I had to install a driver for Windows XP for it to work before plugging in the USB part on the PC.

When the USB adapter has a PSX controller attached and it is plugged into the PC it is recognised as a USB playstation controller and you can bring up its custom configuration and setting by going to the standard 'game controllers' in control panel.

It quite a cheap adapter BTW an I  reccomend it.

The one im talkin about lets you use all buttons and analog as well as digital movement. It also supports duall shock vibration feedback. :-)

USB seems ideal for sending all those signals at a decent speed, that why I i think it would be great for Amigas rather than tryin to use the game ports or slower serial ports.

Cannonfodder: Well, if special Drivers are needed I cannot say for sure if it will work... is there a SDK for developers (or Linux Drivers) available ?

I am thinking to investigate if PSX Port can be made working on the A1 with a new Driver... not right now, though.

Steffen


If i find any info about drivers SDK etc I will send you a message.

Thanks :-)
