looks alrite

Oh yeah, I saw that yesterday, forgot about it already.
Pretty good deal probably, the Sanwa parts alone are worth probably $90 what with the weak dollar...

I'm 99% sure it won't work on PS3 though... in other words, it doesn't work on current gen consoles. That's presumably why he's selling it.

NVM. I want it lol

K, I won't get in your way on the auction then

[geneterror]

Here is my Namco PS1 stick I use on my PC.
I can confirm it works on my PS3 using a Smartjoy USB adapter. I have used it to play Puzzle Fighter HD and Soul Caliber 4. My fiance and I also use the adapter to play Little Big Planet using a PS2 controller for player 2 because we can't afford a new wireless PS3 stick yet.
So anyway for those wondering if PS1/2 sricks will work, go for it.

PS2 in non-widescreen? Does your HDTV not have any input lag or something?

It's a PC monitor, I imagine he's hooking the ps2 up to the vga input - which means 480p. I think the 226bw does 1:1 pixel mapping, so it's just square...

Never mind, think I found what I want.

Actually there is no PS2 involved in that pic, it's the PC version of Guilty Gear that you can see running. My PS2/PS3 are both hooked up to my 40" in the lounge.

No, that's not how it works. The PS2 doesn't automatically upscale like the Dreamcast does, so using a standard VGA cable would make it look like shit and very far from 480p. In order to use a PS2 on a VGA monitor, an upscaler like the XRGB, XRGB2+, or XRGB3 is necessary.

I can confirm the 'looking like shit' thing.

Incorrect. With a component-> vga cable, a monitor that supports sync-on-green, the PS2 component output set to RGB, and a game that supports 480p (such as Guilty Gear), it definitely DOES work with a vga monitor, no upscaling. I have done it myself.

And just how many fighters do you think support 480p on the PS2? The majority don't, but in any case it's irrelevant to use that method because on an LCD. On a CRT, an upscaler is required for most games. Unless you want to play GGXX#R all your life (I'm not even going to look up how many fighters for the PS2 support 480p)

Also, that appears to be in 4:3, if I'm not mistaken. The only way that's happening is if your graphics cards' drivers support this mode; since it's fullscreen but still retained in 4:3, it's automatically stretched into a blurred mess.
