This thing is one of the greatest inventions that has ever come out for gaming consoles. Not only does it let you use a PSX or PS2 controller on your gamecube, it converts all controls, vibration functions, and (in the case of a ps2 controller) the pressure sensitivity functions. Although I am a firm believer of using the controllers that belong to each system, I have found that using a ps2 controller is sometimes more suited for some games. The downside is that it is not a Nintendo licensed product and therefore is more likely to break or malfunction.

The device is nice, it allows to use your ps1 or ps2 controller (which I actually prefer) in the gamecube.
The problem is it broke just 3 months after I bought it, so this isn't worth it, buy an original gamecube controller, or another adapter.

...This thing is awesome. Most of you out there already have a PSX or PS1 (unless you traded in at Funcoland or something), so you have the PS2 / PS1 Dual Shock controllers just sitting around while you play your Gamecube. Wrong!! With this gadget, you can use your Playstation controllers (which you already love using!!) on all your Gamecube games. I have a multitap for my PS2, so I already had extra controllers. Buying two of these is still cheaper than buying one Gamecube controller! You've gotta get one!!

joystick one is the gamecube joystick joystick 2 are the c buttons the X button is the A button for gamecube the square button is B on the gamecube the Triangle is th Y button on Gamecube and the Circle button is the X on gamecube>
I think personally that this iten is great for the fans of PS2 and PS1 because if your used to play something on playstation then your PS2 controller will seem a lot freindlier with the gamecube this is totally a must have item and plus it save you a whole lot o' money insead of payin a [$$$] expense for an extra gamecube controller

I've since discovered way of fixing the previous problems I mentioned with the Nyko Play Cube adapter. First, after the intial struggle to remove the adapter for the Gamecube console, I noticed subsequent removal of the cord was MUCH easier. Next, the issue it has with certain games can be resolved by making sure the controller is unplugged when you turn the power on to the Gamecube. Once the game is booted up, you can then plug the controller in and it will function properly. I have confirmed this with Resident Evil's item rotation problem and it works great now.

These fixes boost my rating from 3 to 4 stars for this device.

My name is John and i have a problem. When I play THPS3 and Madden 2002, i have troble with the controller. Not mechanical problems, just an inability to have fun using the gamecube controller. Luckily for, there is this neat little thingy that lets me use a PS2 controller, which is better suited for games like these.
This thing is alos helpful to people who already own a PS2 and wish to purchase a Gamecube. All they need to do to have optimal fun at SSBM, is to buy one extra gamecube controller, and tow of these gadgets and use their PS2 controllers, svign much moolah in the process.
this invention is a revolution in the console game industry.
FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

The adapter works great, but it won't work for James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire. I contacted the company, and after a long run around, found out that I won't work unless the game company makes it work. So don't be suprised if new games you buy won't work.

now my friends cant use the excuse "im used to the ps2 controller" or "i don't like the gamecubes controller" because now you can use ps2 controllers on the gamecube. this is a great investmeant even if you dont have a ps2.

This is great if you have a ps1/psx/ps2 steering wheel so you can use it on games(Simpsons Road Rage, ect.). It makes the game easier.

I have owned two of these, and both of them over time stopped working and I had to return them. I would greatly recommend purchasing the Wavebird for Nintendo. This wireless controller is manufactured by Nintendo and is without a doubt the best controller I have ever used. I have all three systems,(ps2,xbox,and gamecube)and I enjoy using this controller the most. I like to play about twenty feet away from my t.v. and it is a pain to connect extension cords to the xbox and the ps2. This wavebird works as well as the wired controllers and is wireless. It uses radio frequencies not infra red to you don't have to worry about placement. i just wish the other systems would develop this type of controller.
