Playstation controller to USB adapter $4.97 @ Radio Shack

[BiGNuTz]

man oh man, spent over an hour driving around to find this bad puppy. the first two radio shack ran out of these. one of them told me an employee bought them out. finally on the third radio shack, after losing all hope, the manager found it for me. Only two was left, so i bagged them.
its pretty COOL!! for a low price also ! =)
all the buttons seem to be working so far. didn't test teh analog's yet because i dont know which games requires or uses it.

this works great if u plan to play metal gear solid 2: substance for PC. <wink.

Just a heads up. I bought one of these earlier when it was $10, but the left analog joystick axes were reversed (X=>Y, Y=>X). Could have been my gamepad, but I doubt it. I returned it.

anyone else get that?

maybe u can try to calibrated. in winXP, go to "game controllers" under control panel.


Anyone got the forcefeedback/rumble feature to work? i used a Sony ps2 dual shock 2 controller in a PS emulator ePSXe, all the buttons worked, but not the force feedback feature. does it support force feedback at all?

has anyone gotten the force feedback to work? some guy on FW claims it doesnt.

I have an n64 adapter. I got it off ebay about 2 weeks ago. It lets me use n64 and ps2/ps1 controllers off the same adapter was 15 dollars works perfect in xp everything on it. Havn't tried ps pads on it yet though. I use it in nemu and unrealtornament 2k3 and the old one

Just scored 2 in San Francisco. Sweet deal.

For the information of others out there, this is a radio shack part -- comes in a radio shack package. It looks SOOOO much better made than all that clear plastic trash floating out there (and on ebay).

I got one off of ebay a while back. Works great with my Sega Emu. I have only used the one contoller slot, but mine did have a spot for a second controller. The analog works in mine, but with limited games. When I start Delta Force BHD, the contoller starts vibrating and doesn't stop, but I thinks that's a bug with the game itself. If anyone wants to find adapters for game contollers to USB, I suggest eBay. Oh yeah, if anyone finds an adapter for a NES or SNES controller to USB please PM me. All I have found are plans to make it attach to a parallel port, and I don't think that works in XP (parallel game controllers).

You need to get a copy of NTPad XP. Search for NTPad on Google and you can find it. It allows you to use the parallel port for game controllers, and it works great. Tons of options, highly configurable. And, it's free. Excellent little program. I believe the newest version is 2.01.

These things are great.. I just got one and the $4.99 PS2 controller at BestBuy and it worked no problems on Windows XP. So for $10 you get a dual analog controller with 12 buttons!

I can't believe how much better playing with a PS2 pad is than any of those cheap PC pads out there. Get real people! Why is it so hard for you to make a decent PC pad? Sheesh... Now if only they had an adapter to hook a Genesis pad up... MMM... Those Genny 6 buttons WERE THE BEST PADS EVER!

Wow.. I just found an awesome PS1 Emulator to go with my PS2 controller.. now I can say I almost have a PS1!

I bought a PS2 --> USB adapter from merkotech (or something like that) awhile back...the controller works great in winXP. I use it predominantly to play madden and GTA3...now the experience is just like PS2 sans the poor TV image quality.

Link to build your own.

This page has detailed instructions, including FF for a parallel port version.

Anyone willing to pick up an extra one? I'll pay for the cost + shipping.

 

[kevman]

so is there any way to get force feedback to work on this puppy, I found antoher similar adapter that does support it here

maybe we can use those drivers for this addapter? any ideas?

 

[shaady1]

Thanks for the HEADS UP. This was a HOT DEAL at full price. The fact that it was 1/2 price is just extra tits.

 

[VikingBerserker]

Picked up 3 in Tampa.

Sweet.

 

[liveordie]

hmm....will it work in multiplayer games, 2 pads connected via adapter, in a multiplayer game..? thanks

 

[Tpware]

KIKI-JOY lags bad.. I have one that I would gladly give away...

 

[ravyr]

bought the last 2 at the store, thanks!

 

[nero2]

I bought one of these when they were $10, and even then it was a good deal. I don't have 2 to hook up, but I can use both this and a gameport gamepad @ the same time (great for emulators!). And yes, it works flawlessly with XP.

None in stock in Seattle...
