Can you get a controller for the Gamecube that is basically a ps2 controller? or get a ps2 controller that is compatible?

I'm pretty sure there are adapters out there. I have two arcade style controllers built with ps2 controllers inside. I use adapters for my Dreamcast and an adapter for the ps2 to usb for my computer. The ps2 controller to usb adapter I bought from RadioShack. It works great. I just use XP to set the buttons for mame or other games in XP. The ps2 to Dreamcast adapter I picked up on ebay. Do a search on ebay for a ps2 to gamecube adapter.

Just wanna add this. If you want to build your own arcade style controllers. Browse the forums at http://www.arcadecontrols.com Very good web page on building your own arcade controllers or info on finding parts or adapters.

i have the computer one as well. i think i remember something about a GC/PS2 adapter but the GC renders the dualshock/joystick part unusable...

Yeah, I've got one like that- bought it from an electronics store that was going belly-up back when I was playing a lot of Smash Bros Melee. It works pretty well, and comes in real handy when you suddenly need more controllers. Also cheaper.

My bro bought an adapter last night that you can go from ps2 to GC or Xbox.. it didn't work. It would work for a few seconds and then say that the controller was unplugged.. it's a piece of shit. he's taking it back and buying a new controller..(which is what I said he should do in the first place)

Anyone else used these and had success or problems with them??
