There aren’t any ps3 to ps2 converters, but if you mean ps2 to ps3 converters, then I’d recommend finding a pelican converter.
Could I get a PS3 that plays my PS2 games without lag?
Also does the PS3 fighting stick work with PC since it’s USB?
I think I may have to retract all the hate I have put on the Sanwa JLF’s square gate. I finally started playing with one today and already like it more than the octagonal, which in comparision feels like an unholy abomination.
I was thinking about tryin an octagonal gate. I have no problems with the square gate. what was so bad about the octagon?
It just does not really fit the stick. The throw becomes too long, the stick will “bounce” and activate the opposite microswitch, the corners are not as smooth as the square gate, etc. The square gate on the JLF is just better than the octagonal. You will just be wasting $5 if you are already comfortable with the square one. I think the main reason Sanwa makes an octagonal one is so that American players like myself who are used to Happ joysticks can have a stepping stone/training wheels when switching over to Japanese sticks. In comparision, the circular gate for the JLW feels much more natural than the octagonal one for the JLF.
Ok so what parts do you guys reccomend for this or what layout would be best? I dont like the stickon it becuase its to loose and the buttons just feel cheap.
Are you talking about a Hori Real Arcade Pro stick or a Hori Fighting stick?
The Hori Fighting Stick line uses shitty knockoff parts that feel like shit and rape your hands. It is moddable but difficult. You should search SRK for threads on how to mod it (if they exist).
If it is a Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 and you think the stock Sanwa JLF joystick is too loose, then put in a Seimitsu LS-32-01 (this is only possible on a HRAP2. On a HRAP 3, you can put in only Sanwa JLF sticks). The stock buttons are shit, so you should replace the six leftmost buttons with Sanwa or Seimitsu snap in ones and plug up the two rightmost buttons so that you will have an actual arcade perfect, Astro City layout. I would also replace the start and select buttons with Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons as the yellow buttons look ugly. Remember to wrap the quick disconnects from the two rightmost buttons in electrical tape and tape them down to hte inside of the case as you don’t want any funny shit happening. You should keep hte button mappings the way they came with the stick as that is the standard layout for fighters (without the rightmost buttons of course)
If you have a Hori Real Arcade Pro 1, then do all the things listed in the above thread (you can’t put a Seimitsu in the non mirror plated HRAP1s though) except you should either mod (they don’t get in the way like the extra buttons on a HRAP2 or 3) or plug up the leftmost buttons in order to keep a real, player 2 Astro City layout.
Does the PS3 Fighting Stick work with PC since it’s USB, could someone please answer me this question?
(I know in the FAQ it says the Pro does but this is the regular version)
Wrong thread. Use the search button next time. There are multiple threads on PC compatibility for that piece of shit. Ok on to explanation.
PC compatibility is problematic with the Hori Fighting Stick 3. The best thing to do is buy a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 or Virtua Stick High Grade. If you cannot afford those, then save up as they will last you much longer and work much better than the shitty Fighting Stick. If you already bought a Fighting Stick 3, then you are screwed and should probably buy a HRAP3 or VSHG anyway.
The answer to this is very inconsistent. For some, it worked perfectly fine. Others had to use joy2key or xpadder. For another group of people, it totally failed.
I ordered an HRAP3 on Monday from Play Asia but its status has been on “preparing order” for 5 days. Grrr. I sent them a couple of emails but got no reply. Did this happen to any of you guys? They seem like a reliable online shop…
Thank you. 
I have a fightng stick 3, so I’m guessing I probably shouldn’t even bother modding it.
You can mod it with Sanwa parts, but it’ll take a bit more effort than the Real Arcade Pro series.
Can I put a JLW into a HRAP2?
I never heard that who try modding into a HRAP 2? JLW is good for a build custom box or arcade cabinet.
Don’t do it that modding on joystick. ( made me laugh) 
opips2… so do you mean you can not put a JLW in a HRAP2 or you wouldn’t personally?
I mean, doesn’t put a JLW in a HRAP 2.
JLW is longer shaft 40 mm. It’s look ugly! a HRAP2 is fancy case.
I think not good idea. If you want to sell it but hard to sell there who interesting to modding JLW in a HRAP2?
JLF and any Seimitsu are best stick in a HRAP2. peroid it !
i got mine in 2 days.
“preparing order” could be their way of saying somethings backordered–i hope it isn’t though. 
I want to swap out the case on a HRAP2 for a black case. I know a HRAP3 case would fit it but would a T5 case fit aswell? Also, it shouldn’t be that hard to swap out one stick into another case, correct?
I basically want an all black Seimitsu to offset my all white Sanwa and I probably wont be buying anymore sticks for awhile.
