Yeah my ps2 to USB adapter works great.
I bought this one off ebay, figuring if its junk, I didnt waste too much cash.
While the disc that comes with it is totally engrish, it worked fine in XP and has been great. I since ditched the ps2 pads for wireless xbox 360 pads for players 3+4 on the cab though.

Thanks for the info.
Do you know if you had XP service pack 2 installed when you tried yours? Some of the adapters (I assume they are all pretty much the same?) list issues with SP2, like this one
"Remarks : For Windows XP SP2, please refer to www.microsoft.com, there still have many problem on SP2, we suggest you to use the converter on SP1"

You know, now that you link that one, that may be the one I got... I cant seem to find an order history from Ebay to confirm..
Yes I had SP2 installed and had no problems.
Edit: Yep, I cant tell, they look like the same freaking thing. Sorry im not more help. Was playing DK during lunch at work in XP SP2 though.

Those are neat, but to be honest I'm not really into these games enough to spend that much time/money (my wife, her friends, and our nieces like it though). I actually already have a couple of PS2 pads so that seems like the cheapest route.
