This adapter locally?

[dayav07]

I want to buy this adapter so i can use my ps2 remote on my pc... http://www.forevergeek.com/2005/11/ps2_controller_for_pc_converter/ trouble is that my dad isnt a fan of internet purchases..

Is there a local shop that sells these?\

thanx

come on dude, in this day and age there's no reason to be scared (well almost)
Just signup for a paypal account (they've been around since day dot) and then buy on ebay etc using your paypal details. I've been doing that for years without any issues...
I have one of these and it works a treat: http://buy.ebay.co.za/buying/za/dis...PS-PS2-TO-PC-USB-CONTROLLER-CONVERTER-ADAPTER
although I only paid around $6 delivered (but that was a few years ago)

 

[dayav07]

wow shipping is free ... how long did it take to arrive?

 

[Dilsnick]

here ya go, found one cheaper, only $5.99 (R 46) delivered!

Not the same as the one I have tho, looks almost identical except mine has a usb port on the front

Shipping is really slow. Dont count on it arriving in under a month. But its free so cant really complain.

Good luck!

This is wat i want to do:

Once i get it i want to play fifa 10 (when it comes out) on pc but use the ps2 controller. I want to remap the buttons to the exact same ones that are used in the ps2/3 version. I can get what each button does from my cousin.

Do you think it will work?

when you connect the adapter to your pc it will show up as 2X game pads under control panel. The default winxp game pad manager(have NOT tried the adapter on vista btw) does not allow remapping of buttons iirc but thats no prob, just use xpadder.

its a one-stop-shop app for button remapping, will alow you to do all sorts of amazing things! I built myself a full-sized arcade machine (well actually have not completed 100% yet :erm: jus too busy these days) an actually used this adapter(an xpadder) to interface between my joysticks+buttons and the pc. Works very well.

So ya, will def do what you wanting

I bought an adapter like this (2 players) for R5 (yes, five) from a gaming shop in Dragon City in JHB. There was only one left and they wanted to get rid of old stock.

Does pressure sensitivity still apply?

Like when you only half press X to accelarate in a racing game...
