I am a gamer who like to play games on PC/Computer. There are PC/Computer games like Sport Games (FIFA, NBA), Fighting Games (Street Fighter) and Action Games (Assassin Creed, Batman) which really require a controller so that you can fully enjoy playing the games. I have actually used this adapter to convert my Playstation 1 and 2 controllers to PC controller to play those PC games rather than using keyboard and mouse which will cause a lot of frustration. Thus, if you are a gamer like me, you should know the importance of a controller. Instead of buying a PC game controller from seller who do not play PC game and may not even know the product well, why not buy from someone who is also a gamer and has actually used the adapter to play games? Moreover, you can reuse your old playstation 1 or 2 controllers and the adapter is cheaper than a PC controller.

I have a freeware which allows you to map the button according to your preference easily and convert the controller to be recognised as Xbox360 controller for playing PC game.
The link to download the files is as followed:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c4mqv7pjau3a9hh/x360ce_x32.zip?dl=0 (Try this file first)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vtckrikguom1woc/x360ce_x64.zip?dl=0 (Try this file if the first file cannot work)
To use the freeware, you have to extract the content (1 files) of the zip file into the executable file of the game (the extension is .exe). For example, if the executable file is AC4BFSP.exe, you have to extract the content into the same folder like in the printscreen below. Please click yes when asked to create X360.ini and xinput1_3.dll.
Remember to untick the Pass through for the controller to work.
green light = working
red light = controller detected but not properly configured. ( Pass through is ticked)

Then after that, you can do the mapping. Below is the mapping that i usually used.

There will be a beep sound after you start the game to inform you that the program is working and your controller will be recognised as Xbox360 controller by the computer. The above step will likely to work for most game. However, there will be certain games which require more steps. Do email me if you face problem with such game so that i can guide you on the next step.
There are 5 known games that cannot work with the freeware. They are Blazing Angels 2 Secret Missions of WWII, Brutal Legend, Front Mission Evolved, Spider-Man(TM) - Shattered Dimensions, Marvel - Ultimate Alliance.
If you want to test for the controller input after receiving the controller, you can follow the step below.
Go to control panel>hardware and sound> device and printers.
You should see a Generic USB Joystick highlighted in the printerscreen above. Right click the icon and choose Game Controller Setting.
After clicking the game controller setting, you should see the below printscreen.
Click properties and the below picture will appear.
Now try press one button at a time and see if it trigger any response. You can calibrate your controller thru this setting.
Be rest assured that the PS1/PS2 Controller to USB Adapter can work as I have actually tried out to play PC games on Window 7 before starting to sell them online. Let me know if you face any problem using it.
