I have a device that lets me use my Playstation controller for games played on the PC.
It looks like http://www.pbeeryhosting.com/picture/tp/item/tp_apsx01_adapter_psx_b1.jpg
I want to use pcsx or other emulator with this device, but I don't know how to get it(the adapter) working to use it.
Furthermore, I can't find the device driver CD for Windows that came with it.
Please help?

You don't install drivers for most hardware in Linux.
Have you tried going in and configuring the keys in pcsx with the gamepad?

It doesn't just work out of the box? My PS2-USB adapter is plug-n-play even on Windows 2000... no driver needed.

Well the controller now seems to be on, but I can't get PCSX to work.
Even though I am using a real PlayStation CD, it says it can't recognize it.
The same is with the ISO I made.

I tried epsxe but it says it can't find libgtk-1.2.so.0 and I don't know what package that would be under.

Nope, nothing so far has worked. PCSX won't recognize my CDs or ISOs no matter which version I use, and ePSXe does not recognize the controller when I go to change the keys.
