I have the mouse for the PSX.

I would either buy this and keep it for the PSX or just get yourself a  goldentee TV controller for cheap and hack that.

They are easy to hack with a USB mouse and if you search the site there is a pretty good write up.

good idea - thanks for the advice

I was wondering what the control was like with a playstation to PC adapter.  I don't really want to hack it, just want to pull it out when I feel like it.  If anyone has ever tried, please let me know.

You and me both.  Damn public decency laws!  :angry:

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I have one, bought it on sale for way less than $40 many years ago. Cheap plastics, cheap feel, tiny trackball, don't buy it. Go for the golden tee trackball instead, trust me!

Seriously. I was big into the Playstation when it was around and I don't remember anything about any trackball. I even had the stupid camera.
