Why do wireless PS2 controllers stop working after some days?

[Windows_10_User]

Yep.
Actually, if you don't have a modchip or you don't use the FreeDVDBoot Patcher with your burned discs, it will only work on retail discs. Ofc you have to have OPL already installed on your console whichever method you use (FreeMCBoot, FreeHDBoot).

But would I have to add those entries for each game?

Yes. That's why I said it's not a pretty solution.
If you have a collection of a thousand games it could be pretty horendous to do it. You could try to do it from the console itself with LaunchElf.

how quickly can this brooks device make a connection once the console is powered on? the reason I ask is that I need to disable the modchip at every boot, and it must be done within like a second of booting up.

So, I ordered two different wireless PS2 controllers (this one and this one) but they stopped working after some days. Should I just stick to the DualShock 2?

Brook Adapter work well with PS4 controller.

Brook Adapter work well with PS4 controller.

Isn't it less sensitive than DualShock 3?

I didn't tried with a DS3, only a DS4, no input lag for me, I played Xenosaga episode I to episode III with the PS4 controller. Can't comment on DS3 people have said that dualshock 3 feel more sensitive than DS4.

I just got my brook device. I updated it on the pc, then plugged itt into my ps2. the dualsense connected. it even connects fast enough to disable the modchip at boot.

I ordered mine. Isn't it odd it needs to be updated? Is it easy to do it?

 

[godreborn]

it's easy, just push the little tab to the other option (not ps2), then connect both usb cables. download the update, then click on the exe button. it will tell you to hold the sync button while you plug in the device, so do that. then click on "update game compatibility" checkbox and start. it will update and say it was successful once done, which shouldn't take very long.

Even newer ones from the PS3 era don't work anymore wirelessly, but still works wired.

MadCatz PS2 Wireless controllers are my favorites for the PS2.

Why? Is it because their batteries wear? If so, replacing them should fix the problem, I guess.

btw, remember to flip the switch back to ps2 before connecting it to the system. if you don't have the tab flipped on the pc or the ps2 respectively, the light won't come on. I think the ps3 and ps4 have to be connected to the input port to be synced, but the ps5 can do it totally wirelessly.

Every PS Move Navigation Controller I ordered doesn't work wirelessly. Does that mean their batteries are faulty, and if so, doesn't the vendor know about this?

So, do I have to connect the DualShock 3/4 to the USB port to sync and then can I take its cable and play wirelessly and if using DualSense I don't even have to do this and it will work?

 

[godreborn]

yes, pretty sure.

 

[Windows_10_User]

yes, pretty sure.

What?

 

[godreborn]

you can play them wirelessly. in both cases, on the consoles themselves, you have to plug in the controllers to sync them, then they can be used wirelessly. iirc, this is not the case with the ps5, same as switch, so it's just like the consoles.

Why did you disable modchip at boot?

I think DualSense needs to be connected to the PS5 via USB cable to sync.

Why did you disable modchip at boot and don't you have OPL so you don't need it?



I think DualSense needs to be connected to the PS5 to sync.

I have to disable the modchip or I get a black screen with all options of the fmcb.

I don't remember, but you don't have to here.

 

[godreborn]

actually, now that I think about it, I don't think you need to plug in the dualsense for the ps5 to sync, only to update the controller. I know I also didn't have to connect the dualsense to my nvidia shield to sync it to that either.
