Console to PC adapters
« on: December 12, 2004, 04:43:47 am »
I'm looking into getting a bunch of controller adapters for my new gaming computer and am wondering if anybody has any suggestions of which ones and where to get them. I'm looking for pretty much any console not built by Sega. Multiple consoles on one is also a plus.

Also, how well do they work? Do analog sticks work well? Is rumble supported? Can several of them be used for multiplayer? Do they work well for PC games?

Thanks for the help!

I've been using the kikjoy for my Playstation2 Dual Shock 2 pads for a couple years now.  Here is a review.

There is a newer version out now called the kiki x-series.   Here is the review on that.

One more note.  The original kikijoy may have problems on certain XP systems with older USB hardware.  The newer x-series is fully XP compatible (and same price).

I have the original and it has always worked flawlessly on my laptop with XP.  I did buy another one, and was not able to get the system to recognize both at the same time though.  So an x-series upgrade may be in my future.

I hadn't seen that one. Looks like it is better than the other ones that I keep seeing in my google searches. I think that before I buy a Playstation one though I will get a Gamecube one. Anyone know of a good one or if there is a store that sells them (gamestop, radioshack, etc)?
