Problem with PS2 game I rented

[MikeB]

I rented a PS2 game called Star Wars:Battlefront . Now I have a controller with analog dual shock . But the damn thing tells me the controller is not connected when all my other games still work. Since it's not a sport game I felt this topic would fit in better than the Fun n' Games board. Please tell me if you know what's wrong.

Sound like you have a wire in the cord that is going bad.


try moving the cord a little when it does that abd unplugging the controler then plug it back up.

If a wire is going bad in the cord , why does the system let me play all my other games? Here's what happens , the playstation 2 logo pops up like for all the other games, the next thing   it shows the logo of the game with the loading sign then the stupid message pops up telling me I don't have a controller connected.   I hate machines

Your controller must be dual shock 2 - compatible.
The one you have now is propably only dual shock - compatible.

I had the same problem with my old controller, then I bought a DS2 - compatible - controller.

I wonder what's so special about DS2 that my old ds-controller wasn't compatible..??
