Playstation 2 Controller?

Question

A while ago I brought a generic ps2 controller (not made by sony) for my ps2 slim. The controller works great on a regular ps2 but when I tried it with my ps2 slim while playing a game it keep pausing the game with every button that I push. What do you think cause this problem with my controller? Can it be fixed?

Answer 1

Does the controller have turbo? Try turning it on.

Or try blowing in the slims Controller port.

If that doesn't work try returning that controller, and Buying a sony or ICON one.

Note:

All 3rd party controllers are c**p,

Try returning it and buying a

1. Sony Dual Shock 2

2. or an ICON controller

Those where the only 2 controllers i trusted and the only ones that lasted for a few years(can last longer)

Answer 2

get a new controller.  the slim ps2 or the game isnt reconizing the controller as an official dual shock controller.  This happended to me for a few games i had.  And i'll put money on thats the issue
