I have one of these and it does have analog sticks. However for whatever reason the analog sticks don't work with PS2 games. I assume the pots in the controllers are different. If anyone thinks that it can be adapted, I'll be happy to donate it to the cause.

Something else that I don't think has been considered yet. PS2 buttons are also analog. While I guess we could get away with digital arcade buttons it may make a difference in some games. Just throwing that out there for those who know more about this stuff than I do to consider.

Still willing to donate money to the project, as soon as someone posts a paypal address to send it to.

Now that is disheartening.

Stingray:
No, it's an official Sony controller. It works with PS1, and you can plug it into the PS2. The buttons work, as does the little switch that stands in place of the direction pad, however the analog sticks do nothing. It works fine on a PS1 on games that support analog controls. As I said, the only thing I can think of is that maybe PS1 analog sticks use a different pot than PS2 analog sticks.

Amra:
For those who seemed so upset at my original words, I would like to point out two things.

First off, I have a brother who IS a quadriplegic and thus have a somewhat more intimate knowledge of what it truly is to be quadriplegic then most people on this site.

So everyone will know, a true quadriplegic is a person with absolutely NO motor function in their arms, NONE.

Stingray:
Amra give it a rest man. Sean didn't come here looking for a handout. He came looking to pay someone to make a controller for him. He wasn't looking for a handout. The offers of free labor and funding donations were all offered voluntarily out of the kindness of the hearts of some of the members here.
