I'm a bit flummoxed here. I have here a 'Pro Ex' controller that I'm trying to get to work with the emulator, but I can't seem to get it to do anything. This is for Windows 7 64bit. Let me lay out what I've noticed:
In Motioninjoy, the dropdown simply says 'Waiting for controller to be connected...'
In Better DS3, it lists no connected controllers. However, when I open it's control panel, it lists the 'Pro Ex' under 'Installed Controllers'. Furthermore, when I do a device test, every button and analogs are working perfectly. It's just... not listed? It's detected, working, and tested successfully, but for some reason I can't use it.
Also with the PCSX2 program opened and an iso running (dark cloud 2 in this case, intending to run it for .hack G.U.) I go to config -> Controllers -> Plugin Settings and in the box at the bottom left, Device Diagnostics, it has 'DX Pro Ex' listed. Again, when I selected 'test device', every button works perfectly, but I still cannot figure out how to get the emulator to accept the controller input. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
Subnote: Also with the emulator running, I can't seem to get any keyboard input to do anything in the emulation either. Not too terribly important, but if I simply cannot get the controller to work, I'd like to at least have the option to use my keyboard to see if I can do that or if it drives me bonkers.
Edit: On the Motioninjoy, it's simply not detecting any controller. I also tried the alternative method to accept the driver for the controller by doing this:
I have an installed 'PS x64' folder, the driver. Plug in controller, open 'Devices and Printers', and double-click the controller. I go to the Hardware tab, double-click USB Input Device, and select 'Change settings'. From that window, I again go to the drivers tab and select 'Update Driver'. I use the 'Browse my computer' prompt and select the 'PS x64', and get the error message 'Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.' I read somewhere that changing the date to 2014 resolves this - however, I still receive the same error.
Any assistance with getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated. I used to run games on emulators, and now that my PS3 is having overheating problems, I'd like to run them on my PC so I can play without being constantly interrupted every hour to let it cool down.
