Playstation Dual Analog/Analog Joystick Controller Support Chart

It occurred to me that very little is known about the compatibility of the original Analog Joystick (SCPH-1110) for the PlayStation (and the related "green mode" on the Dual Analog controller). As such, I'm gradually testing games in my collection to see which support the controller and which don't. I've already found some suprises - games that aren't mentioned in compatibility lists anywhere and don't mention the controller on the box or in the manual, so I suspect there's a lot more out there.

I can't physically test every single PSX release in history, so if you have a Dual Analog or Analog Joystick and find more games to add to this list, get in touch. You can get in touch with me in the following places:

Please make sure that any reports include the region and the controller used (Analog Joystick or Dual Analog) for completeness' sake.

As I live in the UK, all games are PAL-UK releases unless noted otherwise. I assume support will be the same across all regions, but if you get a different result in a different region, please let me know.

Also, I own a Japanese Dual Analog (SCPH-1150), and despite what is often claimed on the internet, the vibration circuit does not work on most games. The PlayStation detects it as a totally different thing to a Dual Shock, so I'm going to include notes about which games trigger the vibration circuit and which don't.
