With games such as Crash Bandicoot that was released in 1996 there was no Analog Sticks on the PlayStation controller. And even when it came out the analog sticks didn't work for the older games on the PlayStation. But thanks to computer software theres a way around it. This tutorial is meant for ePSXe but can most likely work for any PlayStation emulator but will have a different setup than whats shown below. This only con about this it will cost some money.
1-Download Xpadder at the Xpadder website. This will cost you roughly $10 but it depends on your country. Buy Xpadder and download it and I advise you backup the Xpadder program so in years to come you will never have to buy it again.
2-Install Xpadder. Run Xpadder.exe and click start and choose the language and set up the program.
3-Plug in your controller(s)
4-In Xpadder click on the controller icon and go to new
6-Go to Sticks and click enable. Most likely you will be enabling the left stick and drag the circle that appears to the side.
7-After go to DPad and click enable.
8-Click OK and click on the Save icon and save this .xpaddercontroller file.
9-Now click on the up, down, left, and right squares on the controller and click the arrow key that corresponds to it. For up click on Up Arrow, Left click on Left Arrow, Down click on Down Arrow, and right click on Right Arrow.
10-After click on the Save icon and save this as "PlayStation (Port 1 - Pad 1)"
(You will repeat steps 11-12 seven times)
11-Click on the document icon and click new
12-Click on the up, down, left, and right squares on the controller and press the following keys for each square. After save it as "PlayStation (Port 1 - Pad 2/3/4)" or "PlayStation (Port 2 - Pad 1/2/3/4)"

14-Open ePSXe or your PlayStation Emulator and go to Controller options and select the [SCPH-1150] Dual Analog. Enter the keys that are used in Xpadder for all the D-Pads for all 8 Controllers in Port 1 and 2. Make sure there is no input for the Left Analog AT ALL except for the L3. And enter the controller input for the rest of the buttons my selecting the button and pressing it on your controller and add the Right Analog input.
15-Thats it!
Now make sure you always running Xpadder in the back round and you can play any PlayStation game with the Analog Stick. If your PlayStation emulator is in compatibility mode make sure Xpadder is in compatibility mode also. To set up the 2nd, 3rd... etc controller in Xpadder select the tabs at the top of the Xpadder program and make sure that controller is running the right "PlayStation (Port # - Pad #)". And to see which controller is which tabs press the D-Pad buttons and it will light up in Xpadder letting you know which controller this tab is in Xpadder
