          @smokingman No idea, but I have an old radioshack ps1 to usb adapter from like 10yrs+ ago and works fine in retropie.

            thanks bro...
            ...so i suppose the concept could be the same of the converter i will use, indeed there is a converter really similar to the mine one (yes i have alredy reserved it on ebay XD) produced by radioshack... if wehn i will receive the mine one, it will don't work, i will buy one directly by radioshack.
            thanks you ^.^

              These work good for 2 controllers, just make sure you turn on Analog before you map the controller:

              Use this to enable rumble support:

                    @smokingman Can't you send it back to Amazon or did you purchase it somewhere else without a refund option? Just curious.
