Title: Hookup my ps2 to my control panel?
Post by: mrserv0n on January 15, 2007, 06:53:31 am
I have a Ipaq4 control board, I want to play my ps2 games on it, I use a tv for my display so thats not an issue. I see there are mouse and keyboard playstation 2 adaptors, will this work for 2 player and do they work on all games? I dont care about the mouse I just want to play some tekken tag for ps2 with my arcade sticks

You should probably get an adapter from Ultimarc (http://www.ultimarc.com/psx.html), not sure if you can map keyboard inputs to Tekken Tag...

Don't thinik so, but these might work on some of them if they are PS/2 keyboard fakers.  Never really thought about that until today.  PS/2 data in = PS/2 data out.... Heck even an X-arcade one might work, just depends on your key layout, and whether or not they are really only sending PS/2  with the other connectors...maybe there is hope for whatever it is I was trying to do after all.. can't remember...

  Ultimarc states that they are available at a sister company.  http://www.ultimarc.com/console.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/console.html)

Just as it is,

Easiest solution if going with multi console or console and MAME or some combination is to buy a Xarcade BYOA kit and the adapters for each console. The adapters run $20ea and teh kit comes with the connection stuff for PC & MAC (USB). I've gone this route before and had a modded PS2, Modded XBOX, Dreamcast, and a Gamecube in one machine and used serial connectors to a switch box. Push a button or turn a knob and you dont have to disconnect control adapters. Never tried using the adapters with an IPAC etc..

what i am thinking about is setting up a single player test panel and i want to try the groovey stuff but i will probably give it away when im done and i want to be able to play it on ps2 if possible as well as usb.
