Using my Dualshock 2 to play PSX games through my Bliss-Box 4-Play, games that feature rumble support cause the rumble to lock up. Before the first rumble event everything works as expected, but as soon as the rumble starts it is constant and very strong. It also seems to heavily affect performance negatively, causing games to slow to a crawl.
The controller driver is Xinput, input driver is raw. Any clues? Log up until the rumble event just to be safe:
