PS2 Dualshock 2 HAck!

(1/1)

Avalon:
My search results here ended up in a "no-answer" when it comes to sucessfully hacking a PS2 dualshock for making your own Joystick.

I found this site and it looks pretty easy (as does everything until you try, right?)  ;)

Click here for DUALSHOCK 2 Hack



Can anyone tell me if this is possible and maybe share your experiences and/or oppinion?

I'm planning to do this (eventhough I must confess I never soldered anything in my live) :P
The reason for me is that I want a joystick that is PS2, Xbox and USB adaptable and as far as I know the Dualshock 2 is the only controller that is able to do this. (Beeing easier to hack also..?)

scurvy:
why dont you get the usb adapter for ps2 controller?  :dunno

Avalon:
I want to make a joystick using arcade parts (Competition Joystick & buttons) with the original (arcade) Mortal Kombat button layout for use in MAME mostly.
Beeing a big MK fan I don't want to be restricted in playing my (future) joystick only on the PC.
I'm planning on buying a 3-in-1 adapter for the PS2 wich makes it possible to play a Dualshock 2 on a PC , GameCube and on the Xbox.

The 'Hack' is meant to hotwire the PS2 Dualschock 2 so you can connect the arcade joystick & buttons to it.  8)

Anyone knows if this is possible and or hard to do ?

My prototype should go out some time this coming week (I've been swamped recently with all manner of things).
