"Anything to convert Ps2 controller to gamecube one?"

Is there something that can put a gamecube controller into a ps2? Just wondering cos i want to get Pro Evo 3.

Eh? Would that be in the same way that it's only possible to use the analogue stick in 8 directions in any other game?

I've not used the pad in WE6, but I have used it ever, and I find your argument very... odd. :^S

Hmmmmmmmmmm, you never perhaps thought that the fact the analogue stick hole on the GC controller is not round, means that utilising the 20-odd points of direction would be very hard? Plus the GC controller proved really poor on WE6FE.

Well, where there used to be a cube pad plug there is now a socket, but I'm still short a ps2 plug, so that's all for now.

Hopefully I'll sort something out, and the whole thing will work.
But I'm not all that optomistic.
I'm not sure you can just reverse the direction through a chip and circuit board... :^S

Okay everyone, send me reddies. If I can claim ps2 extension cables I can give it a go.

Might have to buy a wire cutter / stripper too...

:^\

Hmm....

I wonder if it would be possible to take a few bits of hardware from old broken consoles, get one of those 'ps2 pad for cube' convertors, rewire the whole thing, and make the necessary convertor.

I bet it could be done... I wonder if an old ps1 pad's plug-bit would work (to plug into the ps2), or if I'd need one from a ps2 pad. I don't think they'd have changed anything...

I could take the cube socket from an extension cable. (I've never used my 2 free gift ones anyway...)

I actually have an old joybox thing, from when I was trying to use a ps2 dance mat on the cube.

Hmm. Anyone have an old (broken?) ps1 controller they don't want?

Thank you, ill just have to play it on the ps2 i guess.

if anyone sells it, it will be on www.play-asia.com, don't remember seeing it though, adaptors to use PS2 pad on a Cube are a common as muck though.

Saying that, I totally forgot about the extra L and R clicks.

3 less buttons I believe.

It only has ONE less button, so you'd only have to sacrifice ONE move (or just assign it to the d-pad, IF you can do that).

Worth taking out one button if it means you can play without having to stretch your thumb across the pad for analogue control.
