3.50 Disabled 75% of 3rd Party USB ADAPTERS - PlayStation.com Forums
I haven’t updated yet, my Saturn pad and PS1 yellow Namco had better work 
A friend reported his stick wouldn’t work. Lame.
I haven’t played SSF4 since this update but…a usb fightstick using a cthulhu board still works right?
There’s no reason ps3 should be the tourney standard anymore with it’s extra frames of lag.
Sony are trying to combat the PS3Jailbreak that lets you play pirate games, they blocked the first version with the last firmware but now there’s so many clones and even a bunch of mobile phones that can run it, there basically restricting the shit out of everything that goes through the USB ports that aren’t licensed by them.
On one hand I cant blame them, but on the other … fuck em :annoy:
PS - USB hard drives are not effected, for now.
awesome!
This is total stupidity, not happy :annoy:
Statistically incorrect, although reading through; it’s only for counterfeit and unlicensed controllers

Came here to post this. Completely agree.
Thats just Sonys official PR spin, correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t know of any official PS2 -> PS3 converters, so pretty much every converter out there is potentially screwed.
Might provoke me into actually using my stick and not my saturn pad.
all my peripherals work. no beef from me.
If its a serious issue, I guess we should make a list of converters and other peripherals that have/have not been affected. Maybe make a thread on the Tech Talk Forum also.
so… how many more things like this until tourney organizers move away from the ps3?
reading through the PSboard, the 75% is pure crap.
Dude admits to pulling the number out of his a$$.
Can you and the other guys that posted these lame system-slamming posts please leave it out of the Tech Area?
This is elementary school behavior and doesn’t belong here!
Sorry you guys can’t afford a PS3.
Get a jobs, save your money, and get over yourselves!
Are you being serious? Please stop talking and read what he wrote initially.
money had nothing to do with his argument. You’re right that console flaming doesn’t belong here, but If it does indeed turn out that this effects quite a few controller options for the community there might be a change in standard. It’d have to be a serious effect, and so far the PS3 game controllers that are a standard here on Tech Talk seem unaffected so my guess is no. The theory is still sound though, since lots of people use unlicensed stuff that could be unusable now.
Except nobody is bashing the ps3 itself retard. The fact is SSF4 runs a couple frames slower than the xbox version, previously the only reason tourney organizers used ps3’s was because it was easier to convert controllers to it. Nobody is going to want to deal with the extra frames of lag for no reason now so we should move on to 360 for tourneys. Stop getting so defensive over your ps3 and lol at your attempt at an insult saying I can’t afford it, fucking idiot.
Why is there two threads?
