On my ps2 system, Certain games can't be use with psone controller. Does that happen to all of ya system too? Is there a way it will work on my ps2 system with a ps(x) controller?

never happened for me unless I was trying to use the ones w/o analog sticks and it only suported analog sticks.I use my psx arcade style arcade stick,psone controlers,one w/o analog sticks,and the only one I have problems with are the joystick/no stick controlers because if the game needs analog sticks well you kinnda have to have them.

Some games do not work with a PS Dual Shock you can even check the MadCatz website for more info in their PS section.

Err... A DS2 is pretty much identical to a DS1. All that's really changed is the colour.

Don't believe me? Plug a DS2 into a PlayStation, and play something that uses a DS controller. It still works.

Try opening a DS1 and a DS2 and compare they are quite diferente inside. I prefer the quality of the PSone DS1 they cheapen the DS2 a lot.

Kingdom Hearts, Medal of Honor: Frontlines, and Megaman Anniversary Collection are a few games I've come across that require a Dual Shock 2. You put a DS1 controller in there, and the game will produce an error message.

Why, oh why Capcom forces players to use an analog controller for Nintendo game ports is beyond me.

Yup, ds1 and ds2 are different.
