2p-4p drop in option?
Lilwolf:
The only trouble with the USB player 3 and 4 (other then they should be player 1 / 4) for me is the ONLY time I play 4 player games is when my kids have friends over.
And I wouldn't want to hear the fights of who got the real controllers...
Spending a little more time to stop the kids from bitching is a good thing in my book ;D
tonyarcade:
They can learn to share then.
I'm not looking forward to four kids playing my machine unsupervised...
:P

I think this option is only for the ps2. The think really serves double duty.
1. Its a dual ps1/ps2 controller ---> usb converter
2. It will also allow you to attach two original PS1 lightguns to your PS2 via the usb port and then it has that extra yellow rca video plug that acts as a pass through for the lightgun. So if you were wondering if it work work with ps lightguns for mame I would assume NO unless somebody had figured out how to get the ps2 usb lightguns working. I have not tried it myself but I have heard that it works just fine.

And (correct me if I'm wrong) i'm sure there are plenty of other joysticks, etc. I could use with a USB converter if I didn't like those pads...
For Gauntlet and Simpsons, you're basically talking only a few buttons needed anyway. Not anything that's too non-intuitive for those unused to PSX controllers...

If you are implying that they will work with other 3rd party PS joypads then yes they will work. But off the top of my head I cant think of a single controller that has less than 6 buttons that would hook up via a usb port. You can convert Saturn, Dreamcast, N64, xbox, and Gamecube but they all have 6+ buttons and most pc usb controllers have 6+ buttons as well so I dont know where you would find a cheap controller with less than 6 buttons.
