The Dreamcast converter

Post by phisejr »

theres a Dreamcast Converter that allows you to use the Playstation controller and a PS/2 port keyboard / mouse, rite ?

now heres my real question with the usb to ps/2 converter. Can you put a USB keyboard/ controller /mouse/ or USB hub in the USB to ps/2 converter will any of the connected hardware work? Or if making a homebrew can you map the hardware to work ? or even the Regular playstation work with homebrew ?

I have used a 'PS/2 mouse -> Dreamcast convertor' with a USB mouse connected via an adaptor, as you describe, and it worked just fine.

You mean if you did the Xbox to PC mod, then hooked the new USB connector into the PS/2 connector on the converter.

There's absolutely no way that is going to work.
