Hacking a Dualshock PSOne pad, good 411
armad1ll0:
I'm sure that Z is something but I've not looked into it. I have one here but it's sort of a hassle to get it all and figured out. Kind of busy...
You don't need analog buttons so why start with a PS2 Dualshock2???? at $34 a piece, what a waste... just use a Dualshock at $20. I just gave you the wire code so the Dualshock2 gives you nothing more.... I'm sure you can use a 3rd party but why? It gives you no more funtionality for a stick.
end of subject...
Babs:
The reason I asked is because a cheap 3rd party dualshock 2 compatible is much easier to come by over here (UK) than the original Dualshocks. It would also end up being cheaper in all likelihood. It was just a question.
What are 3rd party dualshock compatibles like for hacking in general, I may be able to pick up a couple of those.

I'm not sure, it's outside of my philosophy so go figure. I always prefer original stuff even though it's so much harder to hack. Maybe that's where I kind of learned more stuff. I did the SNES pads back in 91 for SF2 when I was young... I hand scrapped the contacts with a knife.... now it's all dremel baby!

Dual Shock 2's are $24.99 new (at least around where I live). Also I don't think the PSOne DS is recognized correctly as an analog controller by all PS2 games. The PS1 DS also doesn't have L3 R3 buttons right?

All Sony dual shock controllers should work on all PS2 games. They sell for $20 new here in California. R3 and L3 are in the same location, analog sticks down. The only difference with the Dualshock 2 is that all dualshock 2 game buttons are analog, accept for R3 and L3.
I used to work at Sony, trust me. Dualshock 1 controllers are tested TRC before the game is approved.
