Hi folks,

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I have to ask anyway.

I have a G-Con Light Gun and a Mad catz Steering Wheel (official Sony) for my original PlayStation.

I understand you can play original PlayStation games on the PS 2, but what I want to know is, will my steering wheel and light gun work on these games, if played on the PS 2?

So if I put my old Gran Turismo 2 disk into a PlayStation 2 and plug in my steering wheel, will it work?

I'm not fused about it working with PS 2 games - but I would be a bit annoyed if it didn't work with my original PlayStation games!

Why don't you just take it in to any shop, unless your lucky and have an SR shop near you!

Electronic Boutique or Game would probably help you out.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks Jive. I didn't know that, but I don't have one anyway. I'm just pleased that what I DO have will work!!

And £130 seems bit steep for a steering wheel....

I'm gonna have to check out a demo of this steering wheel before I buy one.

SteveyBoy - one thing that I will mention about peripherals going from PSx to PS2 is that the multitap for the PSx will not work, just incase you didn't know this.....if you did then opps! :)
