Controller Converters

[t.henry]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a converter for my xbox or ps2 controllers so I can use them on my pc? (sorry if this is posted in the wrong place)

I would believe one can purchase those at a local computer hardware store. You could also try sites such as newegg.

I got my ps, ps2 joypad converter from here http://www.netpcdirect.co.uk/accessories.php which Is called a
S Joy PlayStation to PC Joypad Converter If you scroll down the page a bit you will find It. I thought It might be useful for somebody on here who Is looking for one on here from the UK.

If you want one right away, and cheap go to Radio Shack and ask for a PSX to USB, it's an accessory they carry in all their stores now. It works with a PSX or a PS2 Dual Shock controller, and it's worked in every emulator i've tried, I didn't even need to install the driver disk it came with. I got mine for 12.99, but Hawaii has inflation, it's normal price is 9.99. You can view it on radio shack's online site.

yea I was actually not sure at first.. I thought the ones on lik-sang.com looked like a better idea, plus I don't usually look to Radio Shack for anything game or computer related but it turned out to be a smart move, it's works perfect.

woah! seriously? radio shack carries something a bit obscure like that? seems a very uncommon item for them to actually stock. I need to go pick one of those up soon, getting sick of this sidewinder, not having analog sticks makes some games hard.

Does it work for all games and all emulators with all buttons usable? Say you play need for speed underground for the PC on it would you get rumble effect and able to use all 10 buttons? (do the analog click buttons make 11 and 12?)

Yea it would work for that just fine, the analog sticks count as their own buttons. Rumble too. Honestly I don't think you'd be disappointed. And even -if- you were ..10 bucks dude. Can't really go too wrong.

and cue phone call from Radio Shack with job offer ..NOW!

Is there any lag on fighting games with the radioshack one? I got a soyo one from fry's and it had a like half a second lag with every button.

You know....if you look closely, my join date is from May 2005. Besides, I don't see a problem with it if I'm asking for someone's opinion on the matter.
