Hack arcade controls with Playstation controller?
bigred09:
I've been thinking about making a custom arcade. I want to build an Oddworld:Abe's Odyssey cabinet. I want to use an original Playstation inside. Is there a way to hack an original Playstation controller to saaayy an iPac or Ultimark? Like I said, I want to use an original Playstation, but still have an arcade feel. And NO X-ARCADE!! I think this classic game would make for a great stand-up. Thoughts?
javeryh:
Aren't there PlayStation emulators? Why not just go that route? Swapping discs and powering on the system would kind of kill any arcade feel you were going for...
northerngames:
it can be done with or without the ipac
it also can be done with the psx controller only
are you using a psx or pc to emu?
Jack Burton:
It's very easy to have arcade controls with a psx controller.
There are many examples around the net, here's just one of them.
