PS360 and other some other USB sticks only reading analog instead of POV

What’s up all. I’m trying to configure some (and I do mean SOME) emulators, namely Kawaks and NeoRage to use the stick (direction), however, they seem to be read as an analog, which doesn’t read on some emulators instead of being read as a dpad, which is extremely annoying. Heck, even my SNES9X and ZSNES work fine with analog or dpad, but not some emulators.

I’m trying to find out what I can do to address this issue. I have the PS360 with firmware 1.5 on a TE stick, a RAP3 PS3 stick, but my PS2 to USB converters work just fine, but I’d like all of them to work fine because I constantly switch between systems so I need them quick access adjusted. Although, my RAP3 has a stick function and I have to set it to analog, which I really do not trust. Doesn’t work when set to DP, only LS.

Also, I do have one more smaller question, on my PS360 TE, I’d like to set Start and Select as home rather than just Select as home. I read the manual and it’s confusing because it says to do one thing on one firmware, and completely ignores firmware 1.5. Currently as stated before, Home is on Select. I’d like it on start select together. Apparently, it has a long press home, too, which it says. I’d really like that function rather than one simple press.

In short:

Some USB sticks only read analog instead of POV, especially PS360 stick, I want POV for emulators
Trying to get Start and Select as home on PS360 TE stick with delayed press of SS.

Thanks a lot.

Quick and dirty solution is mapping in Joy2Key. Make a profile for each emulator, and coordinate it with the emulator’s keyboard equivalent input.

My PS360+ boards have never had this issue before, always mapped as POV hats. You could always try rolling back the firmware, but it’s a gamble.

For the first problem, enter configure mode by pressing select + p1+p2+p3. The manual says to press up to set it to d-pad, but the new revisions (or maybe just the new firmware) seem to have dp & ls backwards, so move the stick left to select dp, then press start to exit configuration mode (repeat the process using up instead of left to switch back to ls).

For the second problem, if select is calling up home, you’ve probably got the ps360 wired wrong, which will also hamper your ability to enter configuration mode to address the first problem. I don’t think you’re going to do anything about the delay on s&s calling home, that’s there to avoid interfering with games that use simultaneous presses already. If you want instant activation, you will need a designated home button.

Thanks a lot. I actually wanted the delay press… I read you have to do something to have it delayed, but I remember my friend did something to make select the home button, or maybe he did wire it wrong… But yeah, what is P1, P2 ETC?

Standard configuration would be square (p1), triangle (p2), and r1 (p3), corresponding to jab, strong, fierce in street fighter.

I know alot of emulators don’t like POV

Does select work as select also, or only as home? If it doesn’t work as select, all you would need to do is move the wire to from the home screw terminal to the select screw terminal.

I got it wired by a stationary tech dude (Ben Fong,) he’s my homey, he’s just busy these days so I don’t bother him for that type of work, but I am a technician myself, just not really with games. I am going to open it up myself and take a look. I would love to have my select back lol.
