Here's what's going on:

1. Using generic PS1/2--->USB adapter, but also tested with some other dual analog controller I had laying around.

2. Windows recognizes both adapter and controller. Adapter shows both sticks and the analog switch cause the d-pad to become a POV hat. All the buttons work, and the analog sticks show a wide range of motion, not just 8 directions.

3. ePSXe recognizes sticks and buttons on gamepad configuration screen.

4. Buttons work fine, but analog sticks do not during games.

5. F5 does nothing. Ever. All that happens is the little digital controller icon pops up. That's it.

Any ideas?

The game might not support analogs.
Double-check the back of the CD case to confirm.

Ya know, I could have sworn that the games I were playing had it, but I'll double check all of them and try some new ones.

Tried it on a game I know support analog, doesn't work. Same problem.

what is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the pad config menu?

The drop down menu.

right but what mode is the drop menu set to?

Ah, I did try changing that, but it didn't seem to ever effect anythung. I'll give it another shot, though.

Ok, I got the sticks to work. My problem seemed to be that I was using ePSXeCutor. When I ran a game from there, the analog sticks wouldn't work. When I ran it from ePSXe directly, however, they did work.

So now the question is about how ePSXecutor works: when I change the settings from that, do they automatically change when I run ePSXe directly? It seemed to be running with all my graphical settings, but I may have to try it again to make sure.
