#WILL PS1 CONTROLLER WORK ON PS2 FULL#
However, few games actually utilized the full frame buffer due to the very limited amount of RAM. The European PAL models ran at a higher resolution than those of us in the states. And that's probably a bit more of a hassle to translate into older PlayStation controller port signals (though someone did map it out at ) I think the thing with the PS3 and PS4 controllers is they are now more or less generic USB controllers, but with some funky Bluetooth handshaking before they can pair up to anything other than a PlayStation. Haven't broken any in a couple of years though but it'd still be great to have the option since the DS3 and DS4 are so much easier to come by now. The last one I bought was such a pain to find new in box reasonably priced. I still have two of them and hopefully neither breaks. I have some DS2 controllers but I seem to break them more often than any of my other controllers. Why does that exist and not one for the PS2? I mean, there's even a frickin' bluetooth adapter for the NES that lets you use a DS3 or DS4. With the shear number of controller adapters I've seen, you'd think that some kind of DS3/DS4 to PS2 adapter would exist. It's like 521i or something, can't remember. And tbh it looks great, at least for a ps2. (the warranty seal on mine is still intact :p)Īlso i managed to get a 1TB sata drive in it, afaik the maximum size supported, works fine.Īnd about the HDMI thing, i don't have a TV anymore with SCART or component input support, and it gives me the option to use my IPS monitor.
#WILL PS1 CONTROLLER WORK ON PS2 SOFTWARE#
I think it's called FHDB or something, no idea.Įverytime i turn on the PS2 it runs the software from the HDD and works fine, no hardware mods, nothing. If you have a PS3 and four controllers, you could play 4-player Crash Team Racing on a PS3 with Sixaxis or DS3 controllers. Even if you use a PS2 for your PS1 games, the PS2 multi-tap will not work with PS1 games. I actually don't use the memory card exploit but the HDD one (i have a phat ps2 with the network adapter thingy) and just slapped a random image on it.īut i don't know the name of it and i know FMCB is almost the same. A PS2 multi-tap will not physically fit into a PS1.
Hang on! There is a different way for that! Personally I find using component cables is the best and cheapest way to get the best out of the PS2, but the way it outputs shit means that it'll look like smeared garbage regardless. PS2 to HDMI is something I've always found a bit pointless. It's awesome to be able to transfer saves from your memory card to PCSX2. Free Mc Boot works like a dream if you're willing to put the money into either getting the stuff required for it or a memory card with FMCB already on it.
