SET-UP
1. Turn the power to your game console OFF.
2. Insert the controller into the controller port on the game console.
3. Insert the game disk.
4. Turn the power to your game console ON and begin play.
CONTROL MODES
There are three different modes from which you can choose, depending on your style
of play. You change modes by pressing the Mode Button. The color of the lighted
Mode Button tells you which mode you are in:
Analog Controller Mode -
RED
This is the standard “Dual Shock
™
” Mode. Some games will only vibrate if the
controller is in Analog Controller Mode.
Steering Wheel Mode -
GREEN
This mode is best for driving games that use Steering Wheel (or NegCon
™
) protocols.
Some games will allow you to calibrate from within the software. This will allow the
user to adjust the sensitivity from within the game. This sensitivity and adjustment
feature is only available in Steering Wheel Mode.
Digital Mode -
CLEAR
Digital Mode is the original PlayStation controller mode.
MACROS
The Dual Force 2 Controller features a powerful macro function. When playing
certain games, especially fighting games, a combination of directional pad and
action button presses execute special moves for more intricate attacks. The Macro
function allows that series of button presses to be easily programmed and executed
from a single button press. Being able to program these commands to a single
button will allow you to perform the special moves on demand and without failure.
Recording Macros
Macro’s can be recorded to four different buttons for playback: L2, L3, R2, and R3
(see controller layout section). One macro will allow up to fifteen button presses
per macro. Pressing multiple buttons simultaneously counts as a single command.
In other words, pressing X, O, and Triangle at the same time is one command, not
three. Your commands must be able to be executed within 1.5 seconds to take
advantage of the macro function.
Delay:
In some combo’s, it can be necessary to have a delay between commands.
To record a delay, press the SELECT button. If a longer delay is necessary, press
the SELECT button as many times as needed. You may need to experiment with your
particular game.
Hold:
In some cases, it can be necessary to hold down a button or direction for
an extended period of time. To do this, simply hit the button or direction twice.
If a longer hold is necessary, press the button (or direction) multiple times. You may
need to experiment with your particular game.
Double Tap:
A “double tap” is hitting a certain action button or direction twice.
To record a double tap, press the button (or direction), then SELECT, then the same
button (or direction).
While recording a macro all action buttons retain their original game function.
Programming Macros
1. Press the Macro Button (Macro Button illuminates red).
2. Adjust the macro speed as necessary. (see below)
3. Press the button to which the macro is to be assigned (Macro Button blinks).
4. Press the commands desired, in order and with delays in the appropriate places.
5. To finish recording the macro, press the Macro Button again (if you use all fifteen
commands - the Macro Button will also stop flashing).
