Okay, I just got this white PlayStation controller (the one that says PSOne on it) and I tested it with the game Phantom Brave, and it worked flawlessly. Will it work with all other games as well, or are there compatibility issues? For that matter, what's the difference between this controller and a DualShock2 besides color?
Thanks,

On the DualShock 2, all the buttons (D-pad, shoulder buttons, face buttons) are analog, and on the DualShock 1 they're all digital. I think that's the only difference.
However, most PS2 games don't take advantage of the analog buttons.

Re: DualShock1 on PSTwo? Full compatibility?
Although it should work I did do this before, plugging a Playstation (1) controller into a PS2 system and try to play a PS2 game. I got a message like "Please insert a PS2 Dual Shock Controller." A PSone contrller might work, try it, but I know the older ones, like the first to have analoge sticks, don't.CronoTriggerfan wrote:Okay, I just got this white PlayStation controller (the one that says PSOne on it) and I tested it with the game Phantom Brave, and it worked flawlessly.

Doesn't the analogue buttons mean they're pressure sensitive? e.g. pushing X very slightly will give you slow acceleration / top speed etc?

Only game i can think of that uses them is metal gear solid 3, where for example lightly pressing the button raises your weapon, and pressing it all the way makes it fire.EnterTheHatrix wrote:Doesn't the analogue buttons mean they're pressure sensitive? e.g. pushing X very slightly will give you slow acceleration / top speed etc?

The PSX controllers will only work for playstation games if played on the ps2, but the psone controller will work on most ps2 games, but if you use it for NFS underground 2 or any game that requires you to use the analog stick, it wont work. Also, the pressure sensitivity is why they upgraded the chipset from dualshock to dualshock 2. Just get a Dualshock 2 contoller and save some time and money.

i have these, they work great and seem to be 100% compatable. only downside is that the analog sticks aren't quite as durable as official ones. they are interchangable with PS1 or PS2 analog sticks though so they're easy to fix if something goes wrong and they're cheap

those are crap, I bought one of those unlabled ones, and the right analog stick broke after one Call of Duty session. Go for these labled ones I have one of those and it is just as good as an official controller. plus they are more hackable because they don't use that film stuff for the face and shoulder buttons.
also, a lot of racing games use this feature. Grand Turismo 3 and 4 i know do, because i've played them at a friends house, but i'm assuming its pretty standardSolidus wrote:Only game i can think of that uses them is metal gear solid 3, where for example lightly pressing the button raises your weapon, and pressing it all the way makes it fire.EnterTheHatrix wrote:Doesn't the analogue buttons mean they're pressure sensitive? e.g. pushing X very slightly will give you slow acceleration / top speed etc?
