Hey everyone. I bought two "DCX controllers" from easybuy2000 and it has the exact same button layout and shape as a ps1 controller. The problem is that when I plug one into my Dreamcast nothing seems t respond. The controller's light turns on but no buttons seem to work. Is my controller meant for a PAL DC or something? Or does it only work with Bleem!cast? Please help me out, as I feel like I've wasted money on some crappy controllers that won't function.

Your controller ports are working OK? You've tested them with other controllers?
If the DC is Ok, then chances are it's just a bad/dirty connection somewhere. Give the contacts a clean, as best you can, I know it ain't easy.
If the controllers have been sitting in boxes for the past 5-odd years, then it's possible that the contacts have picked up a bit of oxidation, so maybe all that's needed is a bit of a clean.
Obviously if the light is coming on, some signals are getting through, but there are other contacts in the connector that might need some cleaning.
