Reddit reviews Gemini GGE815 Universal Video Game Control Pad Converter

I've used a device similar to that made by Pelican (no longer made, sadly) to use a PS2 controller on my GameCube, and by extension my Wii. It worked out really well for me, especially since almost every decent Mad Catz or other big-name third-party controller was available for PS2. My personal favorite was the Mad Catz Retrocon which I used until it completely failed.

One odd thing I noticed though: apparently the GameCube and the PS2 have different standards when it comes to the "dead zone" in the center of the control stick. My Retrocon apparently leaned a bit to the left at default position when plugged into my GC, but not in my PS2. I also noticed this using a PS2->USB adapter. It didn't prevent me from playing, but it made some things a little weird at times.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was wrong! It wasn't Pelican brand: they actually make some original XBox controllers I bought that, smartly, put the white and black buttons on the top instead of awkwardly to the bottom right of the normal button layout. But I digress.

The adapter is made by Gemini, and is still available on Amazon! It works for both XBox and GameCube, and works well. Surprisingly cheap, too.

It really depends, do you know what brand and have looked up info about using ps1 controllers with the adapter? I know there are some other adapters like this one that state that it does support ps1 and ps2 controllers, but from the looks of it, it seems that this is the adapter you linked and someone did ask the same question about using a ps1 controller, albeit he asked about the steering wheel, but I'm pretty sure it would work. You could always return the adapter and buy a different one that supports ps1 if it doesn't.

Don't worry, there are more out there. Here's the first google result for PS2 to xbox converter. And here's the ebay page for "ps2 to xbox converter." And if you want that convenient Amazon shopping experience, [here] (http://www.amazon.com/Gemini-Universal-Control-Converter-Playstation-2/dp/B00012YI14/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405095423&sr=8-2&keywords=ps2+to+xbox+converter) is a shockingly similar product to the one I have. $5.50. No usb-out though.
