Use Playstation 2 Controllers on Amiga based OS'!
« on: February 27, 2012, 07:26:59 PM »
I decided to systematically go through each and every Ebay listing for Playstation 2 controller adapters and buy one at a time until I found the one that was compatible with AROS/MorphOS.

Well as fate would have it, my first attempt was a good one! While my MorphOS machine recently died and I was not able to test on there, I was able to test on my AROS machine and the results were beautiful, and I'm sure this will work with MorhphOS or even a classic Amiga with USB adapter as well.

Here's a link to the auction...

I'm on my way back to purchase a couple more before you guys buy them all out! ;)

Should (in theory) work well with CD-32 games running on a 1200 or 4000.

I also own an adapter that let's you plug a PS2 controller into an Amiga Joystick port. It can be configured by holding down certain button configurations and can be configured to work as a 1, or 2 button controller, not to mention a CD-32 controller. Rapid fire is also an option.

As far as I know, No. Though Cammy might know more on the matter than I do.

THAT IS THE ONE!!!!!

Paul Willingham built mine directly, and I have to say that EVERY Amiga owner should have at least two! I'm going to order another one myself!
