PSXJin + Xbox Controller

Hello! I have just decided to pick this up as a speedgame, and I have been trying to get PSXJin set up since it is the recommended Emulator. I am currently trying to use version 2.0.2, and my standard xbox360 controller is picking up in the menus, but not in game. Anyone know what might be the cause? Thanks!

That sounds really weird, could be a faulty ROM file. If not you can try routing through joy2key.

It is strange, the rom was working fine with a few sound issues on a different emulator. I have been trying to find a good file to use, but have been running into issues as well, since everything seems to be 2 binary files with a cue file, rather than the usual iso for most emulated games

A bin with a cue is fine for this game, the good bin is 556MB. Can you clarify what exactly you meant by working in the menus but not the game.

So if I go to configure the control, I get the menu that has pad1 and pad2, and I can bind keys just fine with my controller. Once I boot up the game however, no inputs are going through and no sound seems to be coming through. I figured I would try to deal with one problem before going to the next haha. Also, at least the ROM I have the good bin is 526MB, so that does sound like it might be the problem.

Hopefully one of the other guys that have used an xbox controller on emu steps by and helps. Check out XeiZ's guide and maybe try that https://www.speedrun.com/sotn/guide/j9ei6

I will probably just try to come up with a nice keyboard setup if I can't get my controller to work, seems like less potential issues than adding joy2key as an extra layer that could introduce any new issues. Grabbing another rom to test as well.

I play on kb. If you look at my emu pbs you can see the setup.

This feels really weird to play with kb so far, but I will take a look at your setup then go from there! At least it is running now. Still no sound though which is strange..

In the controller setup make sure you are set to digital input and not analog. Analog is the dualshock AKA analog stick version of the controller. SotN doesn't use this controller and won't accept inputs from it.

I do have them set to digital, still no luck though sadly. I ended up trying with PCSXR and the controls are working, rom is working, but it seems slightly less stable than PSXjin for the sound and video output.
