2 Player Psx to usb converter


Ok I have this thing installed and it works fine except it shows up as 1 joystick with 28 axis and 24 buttons instead of 2 joysticks. With Mupen64 I set all the buttons and it works fine, but with snes9x and generator /dev/js0 is the first controller and /dev/js1 is the second. So I can only use 1 controller. I've tried using joy2key to map it to the keyboard but i get very eratic results with the axis (like i push left and i get left,right,right) this happens nomater what i use for thresh and deadzone settings and even if i calibrate everytime. is there a way to take the actions of the second controller from /dev/js0 and send them to /dev/js1 so that I can use my second controller? or am i just way off with joy2key?

Hi I know this thread never got a reply and is pretty old, but I was wondering if you ever got this working cause I have the same usb converter and I would love to be able to get it to work right.

I've got one too, never got it to work at all. Would show up as js0 but never gave me any events using either port.

I'm using qjoypad now it work's the other way around of joy2key you click a box for the button / axis and then asign a keyboard or mouse action to it thist is workings good for me and lets me map both controllers to the keyboard for use with emulators and other games.
