@Gummowned , have you tried playing the HFC3 for more than 30 mins? try it please.
I just checked my Hori FC3 ,its an HK import and it does say “sony PS3 official product” on the back as well as on the box…
BUT
I can play for excatly 30 mins and then the thing just stops working? meaning i have to unplug the USB,then plug it back in and it works for another 30 mins. (this didnt happen before 3.5)
Another way to get around it is to hit the home button every 20 mins to get out of the game,then resume ,which is quite annoying
Edit : Chun li controller works fine /havent treid the Sagat version yet,and im affraid to try out my TE incase it just doesnt work (cant use the TE alot -CTS in my wrist)

Just a note: I’m not really reviewing the lists but rather just adding things as people post, so there may be duplicates.
Though I have to say that I think the majority of people have gone on with life after realizing that the issue was blown out of proportion in regards to the number of devices that stopped working (maybe not so much the argument of consumer rights vs Sony’s rights, though).
PIII Converter: Model A01 works.
(It is similar to the 538, no PS button support and the stick on my Tekken5 doesn’t work with my PS1 games, though the buttons respond)
IIRC, one of those jailbreak solutions offered the ability to do so rather recently. I believe the “original” hack team’s dongle? Not too sure myself if it’s actually released yet though. Seems like a good place to start researching.
No noticable lag. I’m in the process of modding the stick. it dropped inputs twice in 2 hours, probably due to this. At 5$, I’m pretty impressed.
–
the mod is done, no dropped inputs (held directions for 60secs).
–
A month later, the PIII Converter: Model A01 adapter is starting lock up. On occasion, repeated button presses cause the adapter to stop accepting input for a few moments, sometimes almost a second.
This does not happen on my PS2.
