360 to PS2 controller converter

[Zeron]

Does such a thing as 360 to PS2 controller converter exist? I would love to use my arcadestick with my PS2 also,If not is there perhaps a tutorial for creating one myself?


Thanks in advance

they exist, and there are a few threads about them in this hardware forum.

Are you sure? There's plenty of solutions from PS2 to 360, but as far as I know the reverse isn't true (and is in fact much, much more difficult and problematic).

IMO, the best way to make an arcade stick work with both platforms is to add a PS2 PCB to an existing 360 stick. Unfortunately, this is generally only possible with sticks using MadCatz PCBs as Microsoft and Hori 360 PCBs aren't common ground.

ooh, my bad. I should have read the initial post more carefully.

I got a bunch of PS2 pads and a Mayflash PS2 stick(failed experiment but PCB is fine and dandy)



Is it a lost cause or can I perhaps build something like a converter out of it?

You wouldn't be able to make a converter without a way to interpret the USB signaling from your 360 PCB (something that I'm pretty sure only exists on the 360 itself or a PC), but if the PCB in your 360 stick is common ground, you could make your stick dual-PCB and just have both leads coming out of it. As I said, this is usually done with MadCatz's 360 PCBs as Hori's 360 PCBs aren't common ground.

I do have a 360 Madcatz TE stick, there should be enough room for another pcb right?

Indeed, there are a LOT of guides on the internet for dual-modding a TE. The basics of dual-modding are shown well here - it's a lot of work but if you really want just one stick, it might be worth it. In theory, your Mayflash PCB should work well - you'd only need the main PCB, not the daughter PCB the stock rubber membrane buttons need to actuate.
