    Hello there!
    I have in home a Playstation 2 Controller converter for USB PC. It's an generic one (Play Games/PG) and the drivers doesn't want to work.
    Here's an image of it:

    I've tried to play games that have support to joystick/controllers and on a PS1/PS2 emulator. Nothing worked.
    Does somebody have a driver for it? My OS is Windows 7 Home Basic x64, USB 2.0.
    Thanks!

    I have one exactly like this but without the logo, Its just plug&play tho as I have never had to download anything for it
    Maybe yours is simply faulty?

    The board is working properly (controllers light up, the rumble works, etc)...
    It came with an CD with the proper drivers, but not even them want to work... :/

    Mine didn't come with a CD unfortunately so it seems I won't be of any help (ಥ﹏ಥ)
    I assume you tried both ports and all your USB ports? maybe the drivers simply don't like your OS? mine works fine with Win XP/7/8/8.1 and OpenSuse/Archlinux

    I've tried each USB port (there's three)... The packaging doesn't say nothing about Windows 7... :(

    Do you have access to any older computers? You could see if Windows 7 is the problem
    I have no idea if there are any generic drivers that might work for it

    Yes, i tested on my old laptop (Windows XP SP2/SP3) and it didn't work.
    The LED of the device blinked sometimes, but nothing still working.

    Pretty sure these present themselves as generic HID joysticks, I've got a couple (different packaging) and never had to install drivers for it (iirc). Try it on a Linux box (no need to hunt for drivers) and if it still don't work, send it back as cheesed.

    Hello lolzvid,

    Not sure if you still need drivers for your usb adapter. I have some drivers I found online and vibration also works (took a while to find too). Anyways they are attached to my post. View attachment USB Vibration.zip

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks for the driver! I've saw the problem and the faulty here was DirectX... I'll see if i can fix it.

    I have the identical one. Under Windows XP, you need to use the driver disc.
    Under Vista, 7 and 8 it is plug n play.

    The problem under 8 though is that the adapter will sometimes think one controller is actually 2, so it will cause problems for games.
