PS2 -> USB Adapter Suggestions?

Post by velocity7 »

I'm hearing many myths, urban legends, etc. in terms of what works and what doesn't. Anyone care to fill me in on all the details before I make some mistake and buy something that won't work for me?

Criteria from most important to least (though all are definitely a big plus)
1. Working!
2. Force Feedback
3. Pressure-sensitive

This blue dual model is the cheapest, and most realiable that I've found.

Previously I used the kikijoy adapters, but the drivers were buggy with XP, haven't had a problem with the dual yet.

Beware of shiping costs for these things, as thats the only way the sellers make any money they are so cheap. Shop around first.

I have one that look like these...

It works nicely with Pro Evolution Soccer, and I can play games on emulators with it without much problem.

I feel the controls are a bit floaty when playing shmups, but I believe this has more to do with the Dual Shock nature than the adapter.

It says it works with force feedback , but I never tested it with any game that support it.

But it also says there's no Pressure-sensitive support.
