PS to PC Converter Driver

[derangedKitten]

Almost every topic in this Input problems section is always about people not having correct drivers.
If you are using a Playstation to USB adapter, then you will need drivers for StepMania to be compatible with it.

Follow these steps to get your pad working properly, with up+down, left+right working aswell.

Step 1
Download the PS to PC Converter which I uploaded for you all. This is a driver that has Dance Mat support. Install the drivers.

Step 2
After installing, go to Control Panel/Game Controllers. If the PS TO PC CONVERTER does not show up, try rebooting and make sure your dance mat is connected properly. Once it shows up, continue to Step 3..

Step 3
Go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and click Properties. Click 'Dance Mat Mode' at the top from one of the circular tick-boxes and test it out. Then hit Apply or Ok.

Step 4
Start up StepMania. All the arrows and buttons should be automatically mapped, but if they are not or if you want to change them, just go to Options\Change Key/Joy Mappings and change away.

____
Tested and works in Windows Vista, but some issues may occur where the pad will work in Wheel Mode but not in Dance Mat Mode, making StepMania unable to play. The problem is currently unknown, and still being investigated.
____
These drivers were tested with a PSX 'Dancing Step' padded mat and are fully functional in Windows 98/2000/XP (Issues in Vista, but you can try!).

Step 3
Go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and click Properties. Click 'Dance Mat Mode' at the top from one of the circular tick-boxes and test it out. Then hit Apply or Ok.

I can't find that.

EDIT: Oh, and i'm using vista...

[derangedKitten]

What can't you find? You need to be more specific.
And Jarrodali, it normally does. It should work for most USB Dance Mats.

[chtxdrgn]

Oh, the tick box.
sorry about that.

After installing, go to Control Panel/Game Controllers. If the PS TO PC CONVERTER does not show up, try rebooting and make sure your dance mat is connected properly. Once it shows up, continue to Step 3..

it doesnt come up for me, all it says the only controller is "Usb Gamepad".
am i dumb and doing something wrong or? (i restrarted and reinstalled and have my mat connected, but nothing )

[Antman 537]

I'm having the same issue; it won't read as anything else no mater what driver I use (and I've tried 3 ><)
to be more specifif: I have the dilong Pu-whatever twin adapter and whenever I plug it in all I get is two entries for "twin USB vibration gamepad"; one for each port

what shuld I do to fix that?

[derangedKitten]

Those pads you are using might not be compatible with the driver. You may have to use one that came with your pad.
If you are having the 'axis' problem with the pad, please refer to the other topic to do with axis problems

[Antman 537]

er, sorry if I seem dim, but wich other topic? there are a lot of topics on axis issues and one of the ones I've read seem to have a solution.
