Title: Ps3 Controller Hack... sending out feelers
Post by: HaRuMaN on September 17, 2008, 01:44:38 pm
Just seeing if there is any interest in PS3 controller hacks.  The Xbox 360 has been a popular one in the past, as well as the Dreamcast.

(Voting in this poll is NOT a commitment to buy, I just want to guage interest)

Thanks!

It is wireless (Bluetooth) with its own lithium ion rechargeable battery (recharges via usb cable).  Arcade games for the PS3... not sure.  No doubt there are some on PSN, and a custom stick would probably be nice for the fighting games as well.

Yes, with 2 controller hacks you could have a 2 player setup (in fact you could go up to 4 players on 4 hacks).  You would get all the buttons: Triangle, Square, Circle, X, Start, Select, PS button, R1, R2, L1, L2 as well as the 4 directions (D-pad).

Here is a pic of the prototype:

I haven't decided on prices yet, these are hard to do, but I have an idea to make them easier.
