Windows 7 PS/2 Issue

[Dec_Shaw]

Hi, I recently got into Street Fighter V on PC. I use to play Arcade games all the time, on my dads old computer. (Simpsons Arcade, stuff like that.)

The fight stick I have has a PS/2 connector. It's kind of old, but still cost a lot on the website.

 

Anyway, when I plug the PS/2 into my PC, the light on the fight stick lights up. But, not being recognised on the actual Screen.

 

Does anyone have an idea on what do to?

I've been told to get a PS/2 > USB adapter, so I can use it on a USB port. Maybe that would work. Don't won't to waste my money on an adapter, to find out it doesn't work.

 

Thanks,

Dec.

Have you got a link/model for the fight stick?

Remember to first shut down the computer, then plug it in, then turn it back on again. PS/2 isn't hot plug capable.

I shall try that when I get home, just at college at the moment. Thanks.
