Using PS2 controllers on the PC

[hursty7]

Hi, i am able to use PS2 controllers when i play pro evo 4 on my PC as i have an adaptor from play.com that lets me do this.
i was wondering if people who have the game know if i can do the same with rugby 2005? i am hoping you will be able to configure it so the controls will be just the same as if you are playing a PS2 version of the game.
any imput on this will be much appreciated!

i've just ordered one off play.com, should arrive tomorrow. My answer to your question is I sure bloody hope so!

[hursty7]

Haha, the adaptor works perfectly well with pro evo 4, but that might be because the PC version of that game is carbon copy of the ps2 game, for example, it still says things like, press 'X' to continue as if it was still a ps2 game!
oh well we will have to just wait and see!

hursty can u list the games you know the adaptor is compatible with. If it works for the likes of madden, nba live, fifa etc then i'm sure it'll work for all ea sports games.

I own a Superbox 3 pro (PS2->USB adaptator), and it works like a charm with pro evo4, but that's because you can configure the controls. With Rugby 2005, the buttons are not placed correctly, and there's no way to change them. However, if your controller or adaptator is in this list, it will work fine :

sorry, i can only tell you i know it works for pro evo, havent played the others on pc. this is what it says about it on play.com:

We've worked closely with Joytech to develop this exclusive USB Dual convertor that will allow you to play your PC games using the Sony PlayStation2 game pad!


The software driver has been written to work with more PC games than any other similar convertors.


Now you can play your favourite PC games with one of the world's best controllers! Best of all you can now play multi-player games through the same convertor!

[Badboy]

yeah exactly darfh. u can play with the ps2 joypad but u can't choose button controls.

[Adolfo]

well guys we can attach the joy stick and PS controls to PC but you can not take such advantage as like on the PS so mostly it do not allow to you for button controls.
