Are there other alternatives to CP console compatibility besides X-arcade?

Oh-ah. Sounds like the Ipac is the way to go then. Thanks!

AtomSmasher:

I just thought I should add that only the ps/2 version of the Ipac is compatible with the PS2 and Xbox.

Use the x-arcade build your own interface kit. You can switch joysticks between analog and digital and the console adapters they have are full compatible with it.

You can switch between SIMULATED analog and digital.  It's not the same as real analog, and games that make real use of the analog functions will suffer from it. 

The Quasicon is still the only ready-made panel with analog sticks (and analog buttons), and they won't sell their encoders or analog sticks/buttons separate from the panels.

 I've still not heard of anybody hacking the analog portion of a Playstation controller.. Anybody?

Thought I would chime in ... the best pad to hack would be the xbox pad.  It's usb so it works on the pc out of the box(have to splice in a usb cable or buy an adaptor though).  This also means that it "sorta" already works with the ps2 so the adaptors to use it with the playstation/ps2 are very cheap.   Finally it has more inputs... 10 digital, a dpad, two analog sticks and a set of analog shoulder buttons.  Since it has more buttons than any other console of that generation, the only sure fire way of making a universal controller out of a hack is to use the xbox pad.  Remember, the 360 is out now, so you can get a xbox pad to hack for as little as 10 bucks.
