We set up two PS2 controllers and played XYBOTS all night!

Awesome!

Post by: brandon on April 01, 2005, 08:16:37 pm: those look pretty cool.. I like the fact that they do N64 which would be great for emulators like project64. I really wish I could find the ones in the link I posted. I check Lik-Sang and they dont have them. Anybody else know of any Hong Kong distributors that may have these?

I got one of the ps2/N64 adapters from that seller and they arrived quickly and work great. I use it for Project64 without any problems. Between that adapter, a Super Smartjoy for SNES and 2 of Randy's GP-49's I'm out of USB ports now :( But I can play all the games using their original controllers :)

which seller? the one I posted or the one southpaw posted? I really wish that guy would ship stuff to the USA.. since its coming from china anyways I dont see what difference it would make.. anybody else know where to find PS/PS2 To PC USB/XBOX/Gamecube adapters? I want one of these BAD!

Post by: brandon on April 01, 2005, 11:26:51 pm: I checked through some of his feedback and everyone I saw was from the UK. apparently he is located in Hong Kong since his email is at yahoo.com.hk but I did email him and I got this auto reply:

Thank you for your email!
I will respond to your email shortly.
I have 100's of emails a day so it may take 12-24 hours.
Best regards,
Tam

I guess maybe he only ships to UK because of customs or something like that.. maybe the USA is a pain in the butt.. oh well, we shall see if/when I get a reply.

Post by: brandon on April 02, 2005, 01:49:27 am: that's cool.. maybe I'll PM him and see if he can get me one of the universal type like I want. I did find a similar one for sale here, minus the Xbox memory card slots (which I dont care about anyways) http://ps2modchip.com/search.php?page=neo4r2 but I have a hard time trusting any random company that shows up on a google search. especially one overseas. I'm not that confortable giving out my credit card info as it is...

Post by: Kremmit on April 02, 2005, 01:52:06 am: I'd e-mail him instead- I PM'd him about those very adapters and never heard back. He doesn't post all that often.
