Converter Compatibility Thread

UPDATE: I plugged in my PS1 Digital PAD (Grey) from the original PSX PCB, and it works!!! WOW! I’m totally amazed at that! $9.99, and it works! No noticeable lag, and doesn’t seem to be dropping any inputs! I guess I can keep this thing after all!

Note: When I plugged in my original DS1 PSX (White controller) it went into that infinite home/game loop. Where it keeps switching back to the XMB and to the game.

oh yeah, I’m 2.7. Now I got an RMA from amazon about my TAC that’s going back (they pay for shipping). I got a HAIS coming in a couple of weeks, and I gotta see if I can get rid of this sumoto that I had for ONE DAY.

Anyone have anymore updates with the testing of the Max Shooter converter?

143

I keep meaning to buy one of these but they’re expensive-ish ($60) and I do a lot of padhacking as well. I have my stick wired up to a Mad Catz 360 pad so I haven’t had a lot of need for one. I’d be happy to hear people chime in with these.

I’m going to add some info to the OP about the different versions of the SFAC. There’s been a lot of good information coming out about these.

144

How about this one http://www.sourcingmap.com/ps2-ps3-controller-converter-adapter-for-sony-playstation-ps3-p-6439.html How good is it??

145

For real, is it just plain impossible to have a 360/ps3 converter?

Any possibility of one in the future?

146

That one came up a couple of times in the big converter thread. There wasn’t enough info on it for me to do a write-up. I can’t recall offhand if it lagged.

I don’t understand why this hasn’t happened either. Lack of demand? XCM needs an arcade stick enthusiast like MarkMan on staff.

Someone want to send one to Markman for review or TOFTT and try this out themselves? :sweat:

This thread is a huge help. Thanks a ton Kyle. I’m relatively new to the fight stick game, but I know I need a converter, so it looks like I’ll look into the InPin

149

thanks Kyle …

I wonder if Markman could test it out

150

I searched and it was actually the same guy mentioning it twice. Here’s the post on it: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=6168553&postcount=2426

man… they still haven’t updated the ps3 firmware so i can use my converter. What a bummer.

152

^ Sumoto? I’m guessing they don’t care as long as they didn’t break the Pelican. Using a PS2 controller from Sony’s perspective probably amounts to a lost sale of a PS3 controller.

153

I use a ps1 controller thank you very much :slight_smile:

in other news, being in the right place at the right time today scored me a pelican converter. :slight_smile:

And ya it’s a sumoto that I had been using. At least it still works on my PC. :slight_smile:

154

btw, the HVG2’s that i bought from fry’s, work PERFECTLY on my PSX Digital (I forgot what revision). But It wouldn’t work on PSX DS controller (infinite loop)

155

I didn’t know they sold converters at Fry’s. I wish I had known that when my first pelican stopped working >:(

156

i have the pelican one and it wont work with my 15th anniversary SFAC will the ipin work does anyone actually know since it does say the pelican one works and i tested it and it didnt work

157

hey guys been reading most of the thread, was wandering what would be the best conveter for the SFAC

158

anyone know where i can get a conveter in australia?

159

The converter Fry’s sold didn’t work with anything when we tested it… as for Sony only caring if the Pelican converter still works, it’s just as unlicensed, so I doubt it.

How much is the InPin?
