PS2 Analog Mode
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 6:29 am
Does anyone know the communication protocol for a PS2 gamepad?
I'm trying to access the pressure sensors on my PS2 controller however the documentation available on the web only covers the protocol for DUAL SHOCK/ANALOG PS1 controllers (ID 0x73).
I'm believe that the PS2 requests the activation of the pressure sensors on the X 0 [] /\ ... buttons with a separate command because if left to its own devices a PS2 contoller will ID itself as a DUALSHOCK/ANALOG controller and return data as if it was a PS1 controller (only provides analog data on the left right joysticks).
Hence their must be a separate command issued from the PS2 to activate the remaining analog buttons.
Is anyone able to help or point me in the right direction in accessing the PS2 controller?
Thxs.
