PS2pad on PS3

[Creamu]

Hello,

I have a PS2 to USB converter. Can I force my PS3 to accept the PS2 controller.

I prefer the PS2 controller, and this would be very important for me if possible. Thx

Newer games won't recognise it and the L1/L2 R1/R2 might be inverted when using the adapter . If the adapter is not recognised you could try the Xpad plugin ( but you need your console on cfw/hen ) . A lot of hassle if you ask me , i would do it only for a wheel or fightstick , the DS3 seems perfectly fine to me .

Thank you for the response.

I am suprised that it may work at all. I really prefer the PS2 controller. I will give it a shot.

Aren't PS2 and PS3 controllers nearly identical in terms of form factor?

I dont know if there is a differance. I plugged in the PS2 controller, and it seems to work completly fine. I prefer the ps2 controller.

The only downside is that there is no home button.

The main difference is that DS2 has digital triggers and the DS3 has analog triggers, the rest is more or less the same (well, DS2 doesn't have motion sensor but who cares about that).

You forgot the home button.

Yeah, that replaced the Analog button. It was kinda useless, imo.

Sometimes it blinked red, sometimes it didn't.
