Dreamcast Joystick on Playstation

Post by sdaint »

Hi,

My first post guys/gals...............so go easy.

I have an official Dreamcast Joystick, but I want to use it on my Playstation 1 and 2 shumps :D :D

Does anyone here have a convertor or know where to get one from, as I have trawled the net and ebay etc without success..... :( :(

Cheers

SD

I'm new here too. *high five*

I have never seen a converter to allow you to use a DC pad on the PS1/2. i guess people just figured it wasnt needed.

BUT i have seen a converter that lets you use saturn/dc/PS2 pads on xbox.

and i have also seen a converter that lets you use xbox pads on PS2...SO in essence, if you use BOTH converters, you'll get the desired effeect.

LOL.

Best thing to do is to gut it and then replace the guts with those of a Playstation pad. That'll do what you want, and PS adapters are available for nearly every system.
