EU PS3 = Software PS2 Emulation

[DJ12]

I've been trying to find one for a day or so now and haven't managed too, but in the update it says if you have a PS2 adapater you can plug in your dualshocks and get rumble again when playing games.

I have a USB PS2 adapter for my PC which I tried and the PS3 doesn't even recognise it. So where can I get one?

The official compatibility list has been updated to be reflective of firmware 1.70:

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to tell what has changed since 1.60.

eBay maybe. I just got a generic one off there for around US$8 (it looked the same as all the other cheap ones on there), and it works great. So cool having Rez working now AND with rumble.

Make sure you don't get an adapter which lets you emulate a PS3 pad, it won't work...

Put a PS2 game into PS3 and it gets aCELLerated©

EDIT : Added the "©" incase someone steals aCELLerated

All prince of persias are perfectly supported now! Before they were 1bar I'm happy now.

Now if only Okami and Ico were perfect...then I'd be happier.

Actually they say Ultimate Pro Pinball has no issues, but there's definitely an issue - the ball trembles, and the game seems to react slower to the buttons. It's a weird problem and I doubted for a moment that the game was just a bad port of ps1 game engine, but I tried it on a regular PS2 this weekend and it was perfect. So I'd give it 1 or 2 blocks instead.

Other than that though I am pleasantly surprised - games do end up looking great most of the time and work without issue. Currently my wife and I are enjoying Buzz! The Music Quiz a lot. I had actually ordered it for the Mega Quiz (9 on Eurogamer), but we both love music and are having good times. (The Mega Quiz should drop in the mailbox any day - but my wife will beat me on that one no doubt, whereas I've just been barely winning the Music Quiz so far )
