That looks like the ticket...gotta love lik-sang!  Next time I have a question like this, I'll just try them first.

For PSX, the way to do it is use a PSX emulator, like ePSXe.

As far as actually installing consoles in your machine, you could just controller hack a console controller and have it wired into your CP at the same time as your encoder, couldn't you? I don't think it would hurt anything, but at the same time, I'm far from an expert on the subject!!

Bgnome:

if you were not trying to be careful about what units are turned on at any given time, it would be safer to wire diodes and/or relays inline with your controls so you dont get feedback between systems..

I'm not interested in PSX, so emulators won't do any good.  Playstation 2 and other current consoles is what I'm after.  Also, hacking a controller is not an option.

I'm going to try the Lik-Sang adapter.  They have one for X-Box as well, so you could even put in a 4-channel KVM and have multiple consoles.

Bgnome:

let us know how they turn out.  im sure many of us would appreciate a thorough review on these.
