Convert PS2 to USB

Although the new PlayStation 3 uses a USB connection to attach gaming controllers and other devices, the Sony PlayStation 2 does not offer the same features. If you want to use the USB PS3 controller on the PS2 you do need to use a controller adapter. However, once the adapter is installed on your PlayStation 2 you don't need any additional software or hardware.

Things You'll Need

  • Sony PlayStation 2
  • USB adapter
  • USB PlayStation 3 controller

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the PlayStation 2 controller from the PS2 gaming port.

    • 2

      Plug the PS2 end of the adapter into the open PS2 port.

    • 3

      Attach the USB cable running from the PlayStation 3 controller. Although the PS3 controller is bluetooth ready you need to leave the cable plugged into the controller. The PS2 does not support bluetooth wireless controllers.

      Power on the PlayStation 2 and begin playing any of your games with the USB controller.

    Not a good how-to. This does not show the user where to get the critical and impossible to find USB to PS2 adapter. The reference link is for a PS2 to USB adapter, exactly the opposite of what is wanted here.
