Pressure Sensitive Buttons
The DualShock 2 has all buttons and sticks with variable pressure states (except for L3, R3, Start, & Select).
While most Most PS2 games don't do not require this feature, instead preferring variable triggerto use the triggers and/stick or joysticks for pressure -sensitive actions (e.g., sneaking past the sleeping dog in ''Chulip''), but a select few do. Some examples include: 
* All three attack buttons in ''The Bouncer'' precipitate different attacks based on whether the press is light, medium, or strong. The same goes for the musical game ''Mad Maestro''.
* ''Star Ocean 3'' has a musical item that plays different melodies depending on pressure, and they're required for progressing.
Games requiring variable trigger pressure need physical controllers with analog sticks, but third-party controllers which support variable pressure buttons are rare.  PCSX2 wxWidgets builds guide; To know if your controller supports it, open the LilyPad plugin settings by going to the PCSX2 menu and selecting "Config", "Controllers (PAD)", and "Plugin Settings". At the LilyPad plugin popup, select your gamepad from the list is fortunately a standard feature of detected most half-decent controllers in the "Device Diagnostics" box in the lower left, then click the "Test Device" button. A small popup window will appear, showing a list of all the gamepad's buttons and their current state. 0.000 = indicates unpressed, 1.000 = indicates fully depressed. Roll either analog stick around. See how on the values change from 0market.000 to 0.xyz, with the .xyz values shifting incrementally. These changing .xyz values show how the plugin detects different changes in angle as you move the analog stick around. Now press any of the buttons normally used by games, i.e., the triangle/square/cross/circle buttons. See how the values immediately shift from 0.000 (unpressed) directly to 1.000 (pressed) If your gamepad really has pressurePressure-sensitive ''face buttons, you'll see gradual 0.xyz changes as you slowly press each button', just like the different changes in angle as you move the analog sticks around. If on the buttons change from 0.000 directly to 1.000other hand, that proves your gamepad buttons arenhaven't pressure-sensitive and are merely tracking appeared on any standard PlayStation controllers since the pressed/unpressed state. The solution would be to either buy an official DualShock 2 or 3 controller (The Original Xbox Controller is not supported) , and use an appropriate 3rd it's very rare for a third-party driver such as [[SCP Driver Package]]controller to feature them either.

In the game, merely use the remapped L2@circle button to deliver "light" tap/hold tunes, while the regular circle button can be used normally to deliver "hard" tap/hold tunes.
