How to Use a PS2 Controller on a PC with a USB Adapter

If you have a PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller and want to use it on your Windows PC, you may need a USB adapter to connect it. A USB adapter is a device that converts the PS2 controller's plug into a USB plug, which can be inserted into any USB port on your PC. However, not all USB adapters are compatible with Windows, and some may require additional drivers to enable features such as force feedback (rumble/vibration).

In this article, we will show you how to find and install the right driver for your PS2 controller USB adapter, and how to use it with various games and emulators.

Finding the Right Driver for Your PS2 Controller USB Adapter

The first step is to identify the model and manufacturer of your PS2 controller USB adapter. You can do this by looking at the device itself, or by checking the device manager on your PC. To access the device manager, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.

Expand the Human Interface Devices category and look for your PS2 controller USB adapter. It may have a generic name such as "USB Gamepad" or "Twin USB Gamepad".

Right-click on the device and select Properties.

Go to the Details tab and select Hardware Ids from the Property drop-down menu.

Look for the values that start with VID_ and PID_. These are the vendor ID and product ID of your device, respectively. For example, VID_0810&PID_0001.

Once you have the VID and PID of your device, you can search for the corresponding driver online. You can use Bing or any other search engine to find drivers that match your device. For example, you can search for "VID_0810&PID_0001 driver windows 10". You may find drivers from various sources, such as GitHub, Microsoft Community, SuperUser, etc. Make sure to download drivers from reputable and trustworthy websites, and scan them for viruses before installing them.

Some examples of drivers that work with common PS2 controller USB adapters are:

[PlayStation 2 DualShock controller driver for Windows 10]: This is a generic driver for devices with VID_0810&PID_0001, which adds rumble support to the USB adapter on Windows 10 (and earlier). It is for 64-bit systems only.

[Driver for generic PS/2 to USB adapter (7, 64 bit)]: This is a Microsoft Community thread that provides a link to a driver for devices with VID_046D&PID_C030, which works on Windows 7 64-bit.

[Updated driver for (playstation 1/2 to usb driver)]: This is a SuperUser question that provides a link to a driver for devices with VID_0079&PID_0006, which works on Windows 10 64-bit.

To install the driver, follow these steps:

Unplug your PS2 controller USB adapter from your PC.

Extract the downloaded driver file to a folder on your PC.

Run the setup.exe file as administrator and follow the instructions on the screen.

Restart your PC if prompted.

Plug your PS2 controller USB adapter into your PC and wait for it to be recognized.

You can check if the driver installation was successful by going back to the device manager and looking at the properties of your device. It should have a different name and manufacturer than before, and it should show up under Sound, video and game controllers instead of Human Interface Devices. You can also test the functionality of your device by using the Game Controllers applet in Control Panel. To access it, follow these steps:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type joy.cpl and click OK.

Select your PS2 controller USB adapter from the list and click Properties.

Test the buttons, axes, and vibration of your device by pressing them on your PS2 controller. You should see the corresponding indicators on the screen.

Using Your PS2 Controller on a PC with a USB Adapter

Now that you have installed the driver for your PS2 controller USB adapter, you can use it with various games and emulators on your PC. However, not all games and emulators support PS2 controllers natively, and some may require additional software to map the buttons and axes to the ones expected by the game or emulator. One of the most popular software for this purpose is [X360CE], which emulates an Xbox 360 controller using any USB controller. This way, you can play games that look for an Xbox 360 controller using your PS2 controller.

To use X360CE with your PS2 controller, follow these steps:

Download X360CE from its official website and extract it to a folder on your PC.

Run x360ce.exe as administrator and click Create when prompted to create a new configuration file.

Select your PS2 controller USB adapter from the drop-down menu and click Next.

Click Finish to accept the default settings or click Search to search for a preset configuration online.

Click Save to save the configuration file.

Copy x360ce.exe, xinput1_3.dll, and x360ce.ini to the folder where the game or emulator executable is located.

Run the game or emulator and enjoy using your PS2 controller.

Note that some games and emulators may require a different version of xinput dll, such as xinput1_4.dll or xinput9_1_0.dll. You can rename xinput1_3.dll to match the required version, or use the [XInput Plus] tool to create a custom dll for each game or emulator.
