PS1 and PS2 Controllers?

[Stucey]

Can you use PS1 controllers on the PS2, and if so....is there any difference between the PS1 and PSs controllers?

My PS1 controllers don't work on my PS2, so the answer is no.

Thanks. You would think that they would make them compatible seeing as though...(from what I can see)...they are fairly identical.

But then you have to understand that they are always after more money!

The Dual Shock 2 (PS2) controllers have analogue capability. (it's very dodgy though)

eg. If you're using X button as your accelerator (say you're playing GT3), you can press it down a little bit as you're going around a corner, and then press it down hard to fully accelerate out of the corner. Compared to the PS1 where it was either "on" or "off."

So yes - they are different.

As far as i know, PS1 controllers will work on a PS2, but PS2 games that support the analogue features of the Dual Shock 2 may not work with a PS1 controller. (or maybe they do minus the analogue capability - i haven't tried)
