Hi.
I recently bought a PS2 controller, just so I could have pressure sensitive buttons for MGS2 and 3. I also bought a "P2 CONTROLLER TO P3/PC SYSTEM CONBERT - HIGH EFFICIENT CON VERT CABLE" for it, which "CONBERT"s it to USB. But the pressure sensitive buttons don't work on Lilypad, and the Analog button brings up the Windows Game Bar. It effectively treats the controller as an Xbox 360 controller (which I used to use).
After searching it up, I found a few threads here from around 5-7 years ago, saying that it's not possible, that you need a separate API that doesn't even exist yet, that LilyPad supports it, that you need a DS3 controller, that you need libusb (which has a 50% chance of screwing a lot of things up after you install it), or that you just need a special USB adapter that goes for around $60 (which is three times as much as the controller, the cable, and the shipping from China cost).
So, it's almost 2018 now. Has anything changed? Is it possible to get it working without spending additional money? Are there any special steps involved? Or am I just completely missing something?
Thanks.
EDIT: Also, the analog sticks are very unresponsive too. They have a massive deadzone, and reducing the deadzone in Lilypad didn't do anything. After passing the deadzone, there's a tiny zone where you can slowly move them, but only in four directions. They work fine if they're pushed all the way, though. I feel like I fell for some shoddy hardware.
