REAL PS2/PS3 Converter
http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/converters/real-ps2ps3-converter/real-ps2ps3-converter-review/

    * Memory Card Management
    * Quit the game when playing

    * Easy and convenient to use, simply hot-plug the PC USB socket and install the driver, then it works perfectly
    * Real vibration feedback function

    * Support all the vibration types
    * Compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and the newest versions of Windows XP together with Direct X 7.0a or above

"Both converters ranged on average between the low 1s with 1.25 frames being the low and 1.375 frames being the high. Now all these numbers may be a bit overwhelming and may sound confusing to you. Just know that through this testing it shows that the REAL converter is as consistent as the Pelican ones when it comes to inputs.

Ultimately, I have to pass the converter crown for fighting games to the REAL PS2/PS3 converter as it does everything the Pelican one does and more. Length wise they are about the same, and they also both have LED indicator lights as well as the much needed PS/Home button. One advantage the REAL converter has is that it supports vibration feature wheras the Pelican does not."

--- Quote from: Darkshine@SRK ---Okay, so, I tried the first prograt that was listed that alters the USB speed, and it completely fucked up my computer. The USB ports no longer recognized anything that was connected to them, and I had to use system restore and select a restore point over a month old to get functionality back. So, I'm just warning y'all.

--- Quote from: Fallback@SRK ---You have to make sure your USB keyboad and or mouse device can work at that speed. Most higher end devices can. Here are two articles with links to programs that can tell you what speed your mouse and keyboard can run at. It works fine for me at 1ms.

As for this rate tweaker, I personally don't notice any difference, but it's probably there. Maybe the change will be more pronounced on a more laggy converter setup.

Old Stuff:

Arly Update: You can pick up the Pelican PS2/USB(PS3) Adapter through Amazon.com for 11.99. Click Here
(Please note that this is an Affiliate link and Melty Bread receives $0.48 for every one that you guys buy.)  
:slowpoke:

Important Note: According to the reviews, this one from the Amazon link is not the same as the one gamestop was selling earlier so I can not vouch for this working. In fact, the reviews seem to state the opposite in fact. Furthermore, the picture provided is obviously not the same adapter. Proceed with caution >_>

The proper model # for the Pelican adapter is PL-6338 as stated in one of the comments.

12/5/07 Update: The old site with usbtwkr seems to be dead so you can find the file here (mirror 1) or here (mirror 2).
Gamestop appears to no longer have the pelican ps2-usb adapter available on their website, but I'm fairly certain that they still have them in stock in my local stores - YMMV.

I was doing some reading on the forums and came across a few posts stating that the HRAP2 performs rather poorly when connected to a PC.

After running some tests, I verified this to be true. After some advice about not using radioshack adapters, I was directed to the Pelican PS2 > PS3 adapter which apparently also works for PCs.

My conclusion is that it runs just like the PS2 version I was playing no more than half an hour ago and my execution seems to be on the same level with no signs of input lag whatsoever.

So, if anyone's in need of a fairly cheap PS2 > USB adapter for the now-released PC version of MBAC ver.B2, then give this adapter a try.

tl;dr: Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 works perfectly with this PS2 > USB adapter.

Devereaux:
...Now if only I could get my hands on a cheap HRAP2 stick...

motoh:
Uh... what issues exactly have people had with the HRAP2 through radioshack converters?  I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

F9|Chibi:
Can you try other sticks out with that?

Zaelar / myself might buy some of those for the MB tournament at Evo.

:P

motoh:
If I can lay hands on em, I'll try em.  I'm using the classic converter, with the blue top.  I also have the more modern 'tinybox' one.  Neither seems to have a problem in the least.
