Game Pads & 2 Player!

[Stevie_Mac]

What pads or converters work on the GP2X?

I was going to get a USB adaptor for the GP2X

Rev.2 GP2x USB Host Adaptor (GP2x Powered) from http://www.artaylor.co.uk/~richard/gp2x/

then plug in my PS2 USB controller converter

But sadly i have to re-code the firmware or get some drivers for it.


So has anyone succeeded in doing this, or something along these lines?
Maybe someone has the drivers for it, or knows how to do an easy job?

Is it possible to play 2 players on anything on the GP2X?




Cheers peeps

MAME and Picodrive currently support it. There's also a library for coders to include it to programs, but nothing else really uses it yet because there is no commercial BOB yet.

You don't need to create a new firmware or drivers, just use the latest firmware and you'll be fine. Don't think many apps support usb controllers yet though.

But is it possible to play as Player 1 with this kind of cable as the Gp2x pad sucks a bit...

Not currently. Only a handful of program support USB joysticks/converters atm.

Thanks for the info guys.

My 360 USB controller doesn't seem to work with Picodrive. I'm fairly sure drivers would be necessary.
