Controller not working with playstation emulator

[deadmoon27]

I'm trying to use a controller with the playstation emulator. The controller works and the emulator reads it's there. I can go to the Config > Game Pad > Port 1 > Pad 1 and it reads when i change certain buttons so I know something is working. When I got into the actual game, however, it doesn't work. I found one forum that said to use f5 and it will switch to it but that didn't work either. So what am I doing wrong or what do i need to do?

Is this with epsxe

I'm taking a wild guess here but I think its because of the epsxe button read issue. When you click on the triangle button for example, and hit the button you want does the button name stick? epsxe has issues with some controller and the need to do this.
1)Select the button to config
2) press and hold the controller button you would like
3) select the next button you want to config while still holding down the button. This locks its in to place.


Its hard to explain so let me know if that made no sense

Okay, so It just occurred to me that I never changed any of the buttons from keyboard to the controller. I don't know why I assumed it would just know. So I went back through and changed them all to controller buttons and it works now. I did not need to do it how you explained. Thank you anyway.

Did you try installing some drivers for Game Pad?
