Q: Are the DualShock2 pressure sensitive buttons supported?Ī: Not at the moment, but we could support them with a future firmware. Q: How can I use the memory card read/write functionality?Ī: We wrote a short guide: PSX memory card operations. The two analog buttons (I and II), the left trigger and the twist axis are all reported as analog axis. Q: Can I connect more than one adapter to the same PC?Ī: Yes, as many as you want, within the limitations of your OS and USB bus topology.Ī: Yes. But we have a workaround for this that will be part of a future firmware. Q: Why are only 3 of the 4 ports on the multitap supported?Ī: Due to technical limitation (maximum number of USB endpoints in the chip the adapter uses). Q: Does this adapter support rumble/vibration?Ī: Not yet, but it will be available in a future firmware version. We could try supporting it if someone could provide one for testing.
We could probably support it if someone could provide one for testing.ĭoes not work. Guitar controller (redoctane, Model PSLGH)ĭoes not work correctly. The volume knob is mapped to the X axis (left/right).īutton A = USB Button 5, Button B = USB Button 3

The connection between the microcontroller and the ps/2 keyboard seems straight forward enough but then from the microcontroller to USB is another story.Įdit 3: After a bit more searching I discovered that Microchip released a Technical Brief with quite a complete guide on how to do exactly what I was after! Its TB055 and includes the source code for PIC uC.DescriptionThis adapter lets you use PS1 and PS2 controllers on your PC. It seems its a not that easy but doable task to create your interface with the use of a cheap microcontroller. As this was based on the original IBM PS/2 (AT) keyboards and this protocol has been carried though to today.Įdit 2: More info found on the electrical interface needed here. Although all the ' scan codes' that the keyboard sends to the system should still work with modern systems. As USB devices need to be registered and be able to give data to the OS about what it is when requested by the OS. Why?Įdit: Ok so in some more research, I think I understand the why now. So after trying a basic rewiring it didn't work so there has to be some conversion going on but what? The puzzling thing is going from USB to PS/2 works but going the other way doesn't work. Though USB has a differential DATA +- and ps/2 has a data and clock wire. But I am curious as how would one do it themselves? I have tried just rewiring an old keyboard to a USB cable as they both have 5V and ground and 2 data connections.
I am quite aware you can get ready made off the shelf adaptors to connect old ps/2 keyboards to USB.
