What's a good controller to hack for the PS2?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jakobud:
Oh yeah, I forgot that even though the PS1 contollers are compatible with the PS2, the PSOne multitap is INCOMPATIBLE with the PS2.  You can only use the Multitap 2.  The reason for this is because the new multitap will only read PS2 memory cards and the old multitap will only read PS1 memory cards.  So Sony decided to just make the PS1 multitap incompatible.

Yeah, forgot to mention the analog buttons too, which is a another reason the basic PS1 controller would be easier with its simpler setup.

If you're hesistant over the complexity of this, don't fret. It's really simple. If you're comfortable soldering, heck even if it's your first time, it isn't that tough to wire up some custom controller.

darkmanx:
according to sony ps1 controls are NOT compatible with all ps2 games. some will work but others will not. they will work with any ps1 game used on a ps2, but not all ps2 games.

Jakobud:
darkmanx, yes that is probably true, as some ps2 games actually require the use of analog controls.
