Playstation2 - USB

[pfe]

I dont know why but I am in love with the PS/PS2 Controller and I have a couple laying around (both PS1 and 2) But I cant seem to find a way of wiring it up with a USB plug. I know you can get adaptors and you can put a dp25 on it but i tend to like the idea of making it my self and paralelle dosnt really tickle my fancy Im not a huge gamer and wouldnt want it in all the time.

any one got any ideas???

I have a radio shack branded adaptor that works well. The only thing was that I could never get the dual shock to work at all, even after the installing drivers.


If you cant find a schematic to build one, then Id check out radio shack. You wont have to order it online, and it was only 10 bucks or so.


The playstation controllers are pretty nice and good quality. If anyone already has some lying around, I think it makes sense to buy a 10 dollar converter instead of forking out 20-40 dollars for a usb controller that is of the same or lesser quality

You should just hook up a xbox360 controller. I started off with a ps controller and as soon as I laid hands on 360 controller I didn't go back.
