I had no idea that joy.cpl was that old tbh

Anyway, MotionInJoy is the program that is what always gets recommended. Install it if you want your PS3 controller to work and don't mind it contacting Chinese servers as you play.

Your information will go on to fund the people's revolution. Thank you for you contribution

When I discovered that my laptop automatically recognized my Death Stranding 2 PS5 controller, it was a *literal* game changer.

This is the magic of standardized HID device! Doesn’t matter what you are or when you are from. The way you work is always the same since day one. The books was quite difficult to read and understand tho, just like and ancient inscription😂

I am curious about that, but PS5 is like the one console I don't own lol

This is because: Win98 was legitimately fuggen awesome. WinXP was a window to a future we should have rejected. Bloated, over-complex, user-hostile OS's that only got progressively worse IMHO.

I plugged in a USB capture card into my windows 2000 laptop and it just worked without any special software. I guess I underestimated how good these old operating systems were.

Thank you so much!! I was only able to make Hyperkin and PowerA controllers work this way, both the same!

So weird. It’s like they have the tech but just choose to suck anyway

hmmm, windows 98 predicted ps4..... 👀(ik its not that LMAO)

loved xbcd for wired xbox controllers. i used an old mouse cable... with xbcd i learned that the ABXY buttons are pressure sensitive.

Do you know what this means?!?!?!?......Retro arcades that play games on Win 98 can just use any controller we can get our hands on.

I think that's because Win98 was before Microsoft tried to "help" "make a standard for controllers" by slopping their xinput (which sucks for everything but xbox controllers) over their system.
