Play games on the PS2 Console with keyboard

[Kekskrümel]

I found this interesting project which simulate a ps2 controller with a teensy.

All is present also the firmware.

Because I am a noob. Is there any way to send the keyboard commands via the usb serial port ?

There are adapter which make it possible to play xbox classic games with a ps2 controller.
Currently there isn't any working xbox emulator, so it would be nice to play xbox classic games via nvidia shield on the pc :/

Hi,

Actually there is a firmware intended to be used with the Xbox.
You'll find it in the EMUXBOX folder of the firmware zip file.
There is no mention about it on the wiki because it's untested (I don't have a Xbox).

Have you some soldering plan ?

Don't know which xbox cable i should connect to which teensy port.

Thx

Edit: 1.02 works nearly ok with the ps2 firmware and the ps2 -> xbox adapter . Only the joysticks doesnt work. All other buttons working fine. The Adapter is ok, with an original ps2 controller the joysticks are also working fine.

Any Idear ?

You have to cut a xbox controller cable and a micro USB cable, and solder the wires.
You'll end with a USB cable that connects your Xbox to the teensy.
The wiring is easy because the cable colors match.

I've no idea why the sticks do not work with the ps2 -> xbox adapter.
I'll check that later.

I don't see any good reason why the sticks do not work.
Please post the content of your config file.

Stick working fine with an ps2 -> ps3 adapter.

So I would say its some general problem with xbox adapters -,-

There is 1 more cable on the xbox side.

Any Idear ?

But no reaction on the console.

The extra cable does not matter.

The firmware is probably not working
I'll try to see if I can fix it.

The new ps2 -> xbox adapter works fine with all sticks and buttons.

But I need to reconnect the ps2 part into the adapter after each game start. Looks like he has some problems with the authentication and need to auth again after each game start, which is a bit shitty :/
