Controller Adapters
Controller Adapters for Games Machines (aka Controller Converters).

Controller Adapters / Controller Converters.
Many game controllers designed for a specific games machine can be adapted to work on another by attaching a converter. For instance, the adapter pictured above allows Playstation 2 compatible controllers to work on a Sega Saturn games console.

Of note, the Playstation one and PS2 games consoles probably have the largest range of controllers to choose from, including a range of one-handed controllers and arcade sticks.

Click on the image of the games machine below that you have to find out more on compatible adapters. Please feel free to e-mail for help on anything that is unclear or for help in obtaining adapters you can't find easily.

  Playstation & PS2 Adapters

 

 

Playstation Adapters.

 

From OneSwitch.org.uk and others.

The finest range of controllers are already compatible with the PSone and PS2. However, there are a number of adapters that may be of use, such as the SmartJoy Frag which allows for a PC Mouse and Keyboard to be attached.

  Xbox 360 Adapters

 

 

Xbox 360 Adapters.


From Mr. Mod Chips (UK), PlayAsia, Renchi, XCM (Hong Kong), and eBay (International) .

The "XFPS 360/Sniper" and "Max Shooter" enable mouse, keyboard or Playstation 2 compatible controllers to be used. The "Xbox Interface Machine" is only for PC devices, but said to be the most accurate interface to date.
The cheapest interface is via Pretty Luna Shop at eBay (£6.99 / $8.99). Another alternative is the Xconverter 360 from RenChi but this looses the functionality of the Xbox 360 wired joypad.
