2.0 out of 5 stars Get version 2 of this item, April 18, 2009

This review is from: PS2 to PS3 Controller Converter Adapter (Video Game)

This version of the adapter is hit and miss. Theoretically it works but isn't compatible at times with controllers and certain driving wheels. DragonPlus came out with a version 2 of this same adapter and works beautifully. Since Sony has released firmware
2.7 that has disabled some of the ps2-ps3 controller adapters, Version 2 works great. I immediately tried some PS2 games in the PS3, and the DS2 worked as well as rumble. I also tested Battlefiled Bad Company and other PS3 games with rumble and the DS2 worked with rumble on PS3 games. I also have 3 steering wheels and those all worked with force feedback as well.

There is no PS button on this item, but the "analog" button on DS2's works the same as the PS button ( press once or hold function). There is also a trick to get to the XMB or to register some controllers by using Up and Select as the PS button.

For those wondering about input lag, Version 2 had no lag I could detect. Aiming in FPS was right on.

3.0 out of 5 stars works but doesn't completley replace a ps3 controller, April 20, 2010

This review is from: PS2 to PS3 Controller Converter Adapter (Video Game)

like the title says, using a ps1 or ps2 controller for a ps3 does work, but doesn't completley sync. in that i mean there is no ps button like there is on the ps3 so when i want to quit a game, i have to shutdown the console or eject the disc. also the r2 and l2 buttons on the ps1/2 controller aren't pressure sensitive making games like grand theft auto harder to play.
all in all, its a deal to replace a broken ps3 controller with 4 bucks and a ps2 controller you already have, but for me its definatley a temporary fix, meaning im going to have to throw down the 54.99 at some point but this will get me though till then.

Works great and with no delays. Try it with MGS 4, PES 2010 and GTA 4; no complains except for the absence of the sensitive L2 R2 buttons (not adapters fault though)
