How to use a generic controller for PPSSPP?

[jomarr]

Hi guys! First of all, this is an amazing product. I will eventually buy the Gold version if I get the ins and outs of it. This is my first time to try this with a controller. I bought a controller earlier today and was wondering how to use it for the PPSSPP. Yes, I have googled but I haven't found any solution. The pc reads my controller but the PPSSPP couldn't. Please help me. Thank you guys

It could be wise to tell us the model of your gamepad, maybe the devs will work for making it compatible with PPSSPP. In the meantime you can use some wrapper library like this in order to let think the emu that you are using an xobx36 gamepad (although take note that I've not tested this), or use some keyboard simulator like xpadder.

It's a generic one that looks like a dual shock playstation 2 controller.

It depends on which ppsspp version you use.
The versions on which Option=>Controls work you don't need to do anything
On version Options=>Controls don't work,you have to go to(screen menus)System=>Controls=>left to page 3(Pad) and enable "mapping active"

If it doesn't work,go to Control Panel=>Game Controllers=>Advanced=>make sure the controller is selected
