such a thing as a PS3 to PS2 adapter?

[Yuri-G]

so basically, a USB to Playstation 2 adapter?

I want to play using my PS3 fight stick on my PS2, but I'm thinking this is going to be impossible. all I can find are adapters that go the other way around, making a PS2 controller usable on your PS3.

I get the feeling this is a lost cause, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. is there such a thing, and if so, where can I get it?

they definitely at least used to make them, for guitar hero controllers, but I'm pretty sure they work for regular contollers as wel

?

idk how well it works but yeah

That's the reverse, Atre. That is ps2 -> ps3 whereas he needs ps3 -> ps2. From what I have read, this is not possible, despite the PS2 having USB ports.

yeah that's the opposite of what I need. lame. I guess I could just buy a cheap PS2 fight stick but I doubt it would have awesome seimitsu buttons and sanwa joystick.

I really want to play 3rd strike, god damnit

It's possible, I made one myself.

Just need a micro-controller to interrupt the PS3 signal into PS2 format, which means coding it yourself.

No company makes them however, and practically speaking, it's cheaper to just mod a stick for PS2.

So you'd basically have to program a bluetooth receiver for your ps2?

No, well possible, you do it with a wired PS3 controller, such as a PS3 arcade stick you want to use on the PS2.

Oh okay, now I'm following. I may have to look into this myself . . .

No idea about your usb > ps2 problems, but could just play it on pc. my stock madcatz stick works fine on pc and i use it to play third strike on GGPO

[Yuri-G]

I should look into that. you're the second person today to mention GGPO. a friend wants me to netplay with him

I'd recommend it anyways, there has never been an arcade perfect port of third strike(which is why the PCB still goes for $400+), so emulation of the arcade version is closest you can get.

Only thing nice about PS2 version is training mode
