Just saying, there were alternatives.
> Okay, is there a card or something I could buy for our Playstation that will give it internet?

You could buy replacement sticks like these
but you need to open the controller to replace them.
or you could order "grips" like these that slide over the old ones.
i just bought These for my ps4 controller and love them, but be warned they ship from the UK and it took like 2 weeks for them to get here.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004YRQ9/
This one? I was thinking about buying it, but was worried it was fake. Yours is legit? What seller did you purchase from?
brooks super converter
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Adapter-Controller-Converter-Keychain/dp/B07543W7XS
plug in the conveter to the ps2 then you connect the controller via usb first to the conveter to register its bluetooth address, then you power the conveters wireless receiver with usb power from the ps2.
press the ps button and synced, works perfectly.

You can get them really cheap if you look around for one.
This is the recommended adapter that a lot of people in this sub use
There's a ps4 to ps2 adapter you can get. In my opinion it's the best wireless controller option you can get. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07543W7XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3.3PDbYGWDXT6
Brooks has a ps4/ps3 to ps2 adaptor allows you to play wirelessly using the controllers from the ps3/ps4 once you pair it with the adaptor so not only regular dualshock 4/3 but even arcade sticks and steering wheels with rumble supported i believe https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Adapter-Controller-Converter-Keychain/dp/B07543W7XS/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=brooks+ps4%2Fps3+to+ps2&qid=1555216692&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull
A replacement is literally $5 on Amazon
I use a Wireless Ps3 Controller(can be Ps4) [using this adapter] (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07543W7XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_L3TSDbB59ZDW2)
It's a little pricey, but much better than dealing with that crappy Logitech Controller. I think it's worth it considering it's a one time purchase.
> Was this even a thing ten years ago?
It totally was! HDLoader (the software used to run games from a hard drive) has been around for quite a while. PS2 homebrew in general has some neat stuff.
The adapter you need is this one. Shop around a bit, you might be able to find one a few bucks cheaper on other places (ebay or the like).
You need this adapter because it also contains the IDE connector. You plug your IDE HDD into the network adapter, and then the entire thing goes into the expansion bay at the lower left on the back of your PS2.
This one will work for ps1/ps2 controllers: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Control-Plus-Dreamcast-PSX-PS/dp/B008ELD23O
That adapter exists because of the bleemcast emulator that allowed a few ps1 games to be played on the Dreamcast.
As far as I know you would need to mod your dreamcast or cobble together some kind of adapter for anything else.
If that PS2 turns on, you can play DMC3 for $28 + tax and shipping.
8MB PS2 memory card - $16 new, $11 used
Devil May Cry 3 - $18 new, $6 used
PS2 controller - $55 new, $11 used
But yes, it's theoretically possible for DMC3 to come to PS2 on PS4. But these games come out very rarely, so I wouldn't hold my breath over that.
This thread might interest you! https://www.reddit.com/r/ps2/comments/796fpd/use_any_ps3_ps4_wiiu_or_xbox_style_wireless/
There's also adapters to use controllers from other systems with the PS2 https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Adapter-Controller-Converter-Keychain/dp/B07543W7XS/ref=pd_cp_63_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=V3B93MQWJ6ZEFXQFNBNC&pd_rd_wg=vLIWz&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_w=A3cl9&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_r=796756ef-e06e-11e8-adc8-9775f9affe9d&pd_rd_i=B07543W7XS&psc=1&refRID=V3B93MQWJ6ZEFXQFNBNC
I use a Brooks PS2 to Xbox One convertor all the time, heard really good things about their adapters.
Hope you figure things out!

Brook PS3/PS4 to PS2 adapter and a DualShock 4.
I use one of these and a Playstation DualShock. It's pretty dang comfortable.
edit: that new Dreamcast pad does look pretty sweet though
It’s a ps2 guitar, I think you’ll need something like this but I’m not sure
HDE PSX PS2 USB Dual Controller to PC Adapter Converter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J4JVFXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nbpQBbDSFMNVF
You need a fat PS2, and network adapter to put a hard drive in your PS2. The official one only supports IDE drives, so you need either a third-party network adapter, or a network adapter mod kit if you want to use SATA hard drives.
PS2 game backups can be played off the hard drive with a program called OPL (Open PS2 Loader). See my comment in this thread for more information about using OPL with hard drives.
All this assumes of course that you're already running FreeMcboot. More info on that can be found here
One of the recommended brands I saw in the past were Katana controllers. I'm not sure if there's a wired version, but Logitech made pretty good wireless PS2 controllers. You could also invest in a Brooks adapter and use with a PS3 controller since that's still pretty close the older DualShock controller designs and you can still find brand new ones fairly easily.
The seller there isn't Amazon, it's Wholesale Outlet (and holy wow, $8 for shipping?). Plus that's only one card.
Here's a different seller selling it for $6 (+$4 shipping). http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-2-Memory-Card-8MB/dp/B00004YRQA/ref=pd_sim_147_3/184-1559939-2066919?ie=UTF8&dpID=51RjPOAM2CL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1WCMK9K8JYQ7TNRS7M4N

Here's one i found: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Video-Composite-Selector-Switch-Gamecube/dp/9867299434
Its a cheap price and possibly poorly made but theirs other ones on Amazon. You could check Gamestop.
here's the message i got:
Hey there! What you want is a PlayStation 2 Dualshock Controller (usually ~$15-$20 on Amazon.com) and Etokki adapters.

Loads of people have used this one on Amazon. It's $9 and it comes with next day shipping if you got prime and Amazon benefits like free refund if someone steals it off of your porch.
I have it and its 100% confirmed working on loads of random devices including emulationstation projects. The ports are backwards for some reason though. The controller port on the right side is port 1 and left side is port 2
For PS2 players that want to use the same controller:

Lets you hook up to 4 controllers to 1 USB port, with pressure sensitivity and rumble. I'll see if I can find the driver page for it later.
The big trouble with PS2 users wasn't the population in North America, since the HDD was only in production and distribution for our region for 9 months. It's that it's a very popular platform in Japan, from a time when many people didn't own their own computers. Mobile platforms have been much more popular in Japan than PCs for gaming.
Bandridge for SCART and I found a SVideo/Composite one from Radio Shack that's powered and works well too. In my early setup days I just grabbed a cheap one the did composite from Amazon or any store like this

The power cord from an original Playstation would probably fit that.
Edit: Picture!
Amazon has them. You can youtube how to install them.

To start things off, what doesn't work:
What seems to work (But can we get some confirmation from /r/gaming?):
Download OpenEmu and find a Spyro 2 ISO somewhere. It runs fine on my MacBook (it's only a PS1 game). Playing on keyboard is tedious though, get an adapter to use a controller.
I recently had some experience dealing with the same adapter you're talking about. I didn't need to install xpadder or any drivers to get it to work, but mine had the axis problem where you couldn't press opposite directions simultaneously (later models could fix this by pressing start+select+up for 3 seconds).
My recommendation is to uninstall xpadder and see if you can get it to work without it. If the adapter came with drivers maybe try those but I wouldn't have too much faith in them. If that fails, get a better adapter. Currently using this, works great with one pad, haven't tried with two, you may need a different adapter for two as this one is designed to use a light gun on the second port. You will need to install the drivers from the website, they're old, but they still work. Also, a whole list of recommended adapters is here
check it out!

Get this and a USB drive 2GB or under. I'd recommend a 512 mb one to be safe. There are versions that come with a specialized USB drive but any USB stick below a certain size will work with the save manager.
After that you'll have to find .max format FPWR saves. Pretty simple from there.
Kind of. Not as-is, but there's a pretty cheap thing called Swap Magic that allows it. It's basically a disc the PS2 loads that helps it bypass region locks, the only trick is you need to remove a screw from the disc tray and use what's called a "slide tool" to manually open the disc tray while the swap magic disc is in there. It sounds more complicated than it is, it's pretty easy, and it in no way alters or modifies your PS2 aside from removing that screw.
Here's an amazon link to what I'm talking about, for reference:
https://www.amazon.com/Swap-Magic-Coder-2-Disc-Slide/dp/B001BZCECU
I will note that I don't believe this works on slim PS2s, so you may want to double check the list of compatible model numbers and compare it to your PS2 if you have one.
I have this one, this one, this one, and this one.
The SG is about 25-30ms behind every other guitar I have, which is a lot.
It's playable, but fiddling with the calibration setting in between hitting the notes too early so they break on the strikeline, and hitting them at the correct time where they don't go past the hit window is annoying, and there's no reason to deal with that.

I mentioned that it was impossible to find but apparently I was lying.

Keep in mind, the links to the first 2 are for the sake of example. If you spend time looking around, you might be able to find a better price for those. The idea is that you're basically installing the game on the PS2 like you would on a PC, so that way you don't need the game disc to play.
For you Because Kingdom hearts is a fantastic series, even if the DS games aren't quite as awesome as the PS2 games. ;)
For me/husfriend Playstation 2 contoller because we only have one working one now and the husfriend and I want to play games together. (;n;)
Also Y U NO GIFT YOURSELF!!?!? I love Kevin THE MOST INTERESTING MAN ON RAoA!! ;P
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.
Don't know if this is also important but here the adapter i'm using

As u/amirzaim said, if you have a fat PS2, you can get a network adapter from Amazon or sometimes local used/retro gaming stores. You need an IDE HDD too (or you have to use adapters) I got mine here. Lastly, you need a cable to connect it to your PC and transfer game images IDE drive docks work but you can also use a cable like this one. Format with Winhiip and then install the ISOs. You can RIP ISOs off of your retail discs legally by using Imgburn on your PC. For all of this to work you need a freemcboot card, which a nice person in the sidebar sells.

I use one like this for PlayStation 2 guitars.
Not really sure this is what you're asking, but you can buy a PS3/PS4 wireless adapter for the PS2.
I have this dual adapter. OpenEmu detects both ports, but I can only configure the buttons for one. The controller works in game. I'm surprised since none of my Raphnet or Mayflash dual adapters work with OpenEmu. I can usually configure the buttons, but the controllers don't actually work in game.
Edit: I forgot to mention this is with Mojave (10.14.5) and OpenEmu 2.0.9.1
Amazon has brand new Sony controllers here:

So it's apparently not popular to make this comparison, but can we actually think about this?
Steam works this way, as I understand it. I think they have a level between "banned from online play" and "banned from everything", but it is still entirely possible and legal for Valve to remove your access to an offline game you own. But Reddit loves Steam, for good reason.
Here's my prediction: For the moment, Microsoft can do nothing right. And they've been doing an absolutely shitty PR job throughout -- including this bit, which it turns out is either not official or they're backpedaling furiously already.
But in a couple years, no one will remember this, any more than you remember the PS3 banning OtherOS. For most of us, it'll be a minor point of annoyance, less important to anyone than what exclusives each console has.
Remember the interview where the Microsoft guy said, basically, "If you want offline, stick with the 360"? In that interview, the interviewer actually made a solid point. When the original Xbox came out, its competitor, the PS2, had this thing. Notice how it's got a modem in it? At that point, there were enough people still on dialup that this was actually an important feature, if you wanted to play online. Not that many people did -- after all, the network adapter was optional, not that many games used it, etc. You also needed this to plug in an approved hard drive, which the system didn't come with.
The original Xbox came with an Ethernet port. Built in, not optional, and no dialup support. Built-in, non-optional hard drive. Probably more expensive with all that extra, high-end hardware that nobody wanted or needed, especially when they were leaving dialup users out in the cold. So the Xbone, with its required Kinect and leaving people with unreliable Internet out in the cold, sounds very familiar.
By the time the 360 came out, it was pretty clear the Xbox had the right idea. I predict history will repeat itself there.
I'm not saying to get an Xbone. Microsoft seems incredibly disorganized here, and I can't imagine that will translate into a good experience down the line, especially if you have trouble with your account and end up losing your games. Plus, it's not like you're getting anything over the PS4, unless you really want a Kinect -- the PS4 is $100 cheaper, and Sony has said that every PS4 game that's available on a disc will also be available for download. So when you later realize I'm right and Xbone is almost as tolerable as Steam, your PS4 won't be left out. And the PC Master Race is getting better all the time, anyway. Plenty of MS bashing to go around.
All I'm saying is, let's be a little fair. The Xbone being able to revoke your discs may be a little shocking, as they're physically discs, but it's really nothing new. Remember when Amazon flushed 1984 down the memory hole? Yeah.
Get your old school game on.

Is there any chance one of you can post a picture with the connection of the power cable to the brick? (or the brick itself). I live in the UK and the US plug won't be very useful, so I was wondering what alternatives to a basic adaptor I could use.
I have a netbook that has a two-socket connection to the brick. I wonder if that would do the trick...
Now that I think about it, would there be any voltage issues in general? Never really occurred to me...
Edit: After doing some further research, I should be fine (although a picture of the brick label would be cool).
So, main question: What input does the brick have? Is it something like this?

Bought this one less than a month ago, works perfectly... jumps, hands, you name it. I'm not sure how/if it handles two pads at once, though.
Best D-Pad is still the Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Controller, which is best used with an EMS Dual Shooter, or PS1 to PS3 Adapter, as it's a Playstation 1 Controller. It's essentially a replica of a Japanese Saturn controller, which was renowned for having the best D-Pad on a controler, well, ever.

Hopefully one of these works. I've never tried to use either of those kind of adapters for old game controllers to PC. That's why I said "milage may vary"
It just needs to register in Windows as some kind of controller. Once that happens x360ce will work.
The adapter I'm seeing on Amazon is HID compliant - no drivers, just plug and play.https://www.amazon.com/HDE-Dual-Controller-Adapter-Converter/dp/B01J4JVFXI
You need to hunt down your exact model of adapter, and look for drivers I guess.
>I am currently having difficulty getting in to trails in the sky. I think it is mainly due to me being spoiled by most games working out of the box with the PS4 controller and I am stuck with point and click mouse controls (which aren't actually that bad).
Didn't know there are problems with controller compatibility. If you are OK with spending a bit of additional money, there are adapters for all sorts of controllers by the Taiwanese company Brook that (even though designed to connect a DS4 to a PS2 for instance) also work on PC. That's the one I'm using on my PC (though primarily bought for my PS2). I've tested SC and 3rd with it and it works like a charm. Since they have internal Bluetooth they instantly connect to your controller wirelessly. I can also recommend the PS3 to PS4 adapter by the same company. Here a link to their hompage. All adapter models seem to work on PC as well. I'd just recommend buying the adapter for the specific console you would like to use a DS4 (or DS3) on and use the PC compatibility as a bonus.
Edit: For some reason the Switch one doesn't have Bluetooth though. For that I recommend the Mayflash which should also work on PC like the Brook adapters (haven't tested PC functionality, I may test it when I get back from work today if you want, since I use one of these on my Switch). That one has Bluetooth.

Like this one?
I worked for EB games around 12 years ago or so. I don't remember the exact year but it was just before they were bought/merged with Gamestop.
That was 5'ish years after PS2 launched and new cards weren't 29 bucks then.
However, something I find strange is that those same cards as pictured in the op are 35bucks on amazon prime.

Maybe there's something special about them?
This is what I use.
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.
Does it look like this? Does it have an ethernet port in the back? If so, it's a slim. However, I think some newer models may not support FMCB. You can just pirate the Nexus copy, I don't think anyone realistically cares. With that being said, once you get back to your PS2, if you will any time soon, then I can tell you how to get FMCB and the like.
You may want two memory cards for this, though. Or one large memory card. FMCB installs on your memory card and it's a huge file in comparison to most standard memory cards.
With that being said, it may be a pain to set up, but every single Armored Core game in Gens 1-3 other than Formula Front is supported flawlessly (as far as I've seen) via OPL (Open PS2 Loader) and POPSTARTER. Loading times might be a bit shorter or longer, but I've never had any sort of jarring gameplay issues that may be present on emulator.
If you're wondering any of the costs:
If you already have a cheap thumb drive lying around as well as spare memory cards, you only need to pay 25 bucks. You can use this to get cfw on your PS2 and then you can use a SAMBA connection to play your PS2 games. You can trust me on this as I'm not only a moderator of this subreddit, but also a moderator of /r/PS2, /r/PS3Hacks, /r/PS3Homebrew, /r/PS4Homebrew, and the PlayStation Homebrew discord server. I'm open and willing to help anyone on this.

Walmart, always low prices.
LPT: When your thumb sticks are almost stubs, you can replace them.
The only issue is space. You can get a 160gb ide HDD for $17 while a 64gb sd card costs $20. I'm wondering if FMBC can be installed on the ps2 HDD via a thumb drive. Also Will FMBC work if I have this installed?

If the netcode is solid ill have to grab an adapter.

You would need the network thing that plugs into the back of the ps2 it has ports for a hard drive and the hard drive will sit in the empty slot back there, it only fits a certain brand of hard drive unless you do a little modding and take some of the frame off the network thing. As for the install of mcboot im not sure, my little brother did it for me. The only part i did was plug the hard drive into it. Im sure there is a walk through some place, probably at the site.

This is the one I use. Whether it's the best, who's to say? It works for me and I've had no problems with it.

You'll then need a PS2 to USB adapter.
Or, you know...these.
Don't the Wii and PS2 come default with a composite cable and simply the adapter SCART you have in your picture?
If for some reason your PS2 didn't, you can get one of those cables here.
As for the Wii I saw that it only supports composite and YPbPr (Red/Green/Blue RCA combo) in the NTSC region, which is a bummer because YPbPr converters are expensive and composite isn't the best quality for the Wii... But yeah you can use the composite converter for the Wii as well with the right cable (which, again, should have come with your Wii normally, it did with mine).
Gotcha. I'll see if this guy will come down a bit and see what happens. Also, any tips on PS2 -> USB adapters? His is PS2 and I plan to use it on Stepmania on my Mac. This one looks promising: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-PSX-Converter-Ports-Super-2/dp/B001DU25UO/
Also, isn't that a ps2 power cable?
I am going to blow your mind man...

You'll be able to play all those L2 games again!
This game is based on extremely basic physics fundamentals that I knew I loved, from the moment I had this game set up with a wheel. Initially, I tried with the 360 controller on the default settings; This lead to a ridiculous show of lock to lock steering, making the car easy to upset and impossible to save.
Car set ups are easily downloadable from race department. There is no comprehensive database that can be installed with a single download. Each car/track combo is individual, and may not fit your style of driving.
I highly recommend getting into the basic tuning, as I found a lot of enjoyment learning which settings affect which parts of the turn that oversteer and understeer are undermining your corner.
The quality of content speaks for itself. The feeling of throwing a car around is incredibly authentic. Buy this game if you have an undying love for the sheer pleasure of DRIVING.
Things not to expect:
Remember that it is only with complexity, that we can achieve diversity, choice and ultimately, whatever it is that absolutely has to be in "YOUR" racing simulator.
YOUR customizable HUD
YOUR favourite cars and tracks
YOUR view on how the car should grip, turn and brake
Ultimately, this is a true fanboy's dream. Accurate physics, a wealth of mods, a mature community, well developed cars, laser scanned tracks, and all run by an indie team. I would love to welcome you to this community, but I'm almost sure that the quality of this simulator and the frustration induced by a controller will get you to splurge on a wheel
You need the wireless receiver
then the PS2 to USB adapter dongle
Btw it's not worth it. Too much latency to be enjoyable.
Herp?
Consider an official used one from Amazon.com.
Hey man, if you do end up buying the PIU pads. I found an adapter that works with Stepmania. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4JVFXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is the mobile version of your link
Hey there! I've been shopping for one myself. I've just ordered the following adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096PSFBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered this one last week and it was a bunch of cheap rubbish: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SPA46M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
New one should be here on Tuesday. I'll try to remember this thread and let you know how it works.
By the way, do you use any sort of emulators?
Swap magic is really easy if you don't have one. Definitely pick one up. I have several pal and Japanese PS2 games that I prefer and play more than my ntsc games. Here

$10 on Amazon, including shipping. Go for it.
I realized this is actually a problem with the specific PS1 to USB adapter that I have. It's incapable of delivering both arrows (right & left) at once, and the method I had of mapping 126, 128 to push both arrows won't work since joy2key can't map raw data.
The solution, in case anyone else has this problem, is to just buy a different adapter. I found a list here, and this is the one I bought.
I bought one of these A few years back when it was about 4 dollars shipped. It is the best thing of a very low price that I have ever bought it still works fine 2 years later. Some games default the controls to kind of weird, so I dont know if would work with Psychonauts or BTR2.
GameStops still have legacy AV cables. They have ports for several old consoles. I'm sure you could find it on Amazon too.

No idea about the latency.
so something like this?

I see that comes out to around $20 - half the price of the ps3 controllers.
I also see a lot of knockoff controllers at around that price point, but I guess the official ps2 controller would be a little bit better quality?
DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

This took 2 seconds to find
> why couldn't Nintendo have bought them much much cheaper wholesale and avoided this problem altogether?
Because they aimed for a specific price point and that would have pushed it over.
No shit?
