Using Playstation 2 wheel on computer

Dylan_ · 12-09-2006, 04:45 AM

Is it possible? I have a PS2 wheel sitting around and have no PS2 so instead of selling I thought i'd see what I can do with it...

I've seen some PS2 to USB converters that also say they work with steering wheels on ebay.

thats weird, I thought PS2 wheels used usb connectors..

Not all do. I've seen some that just had the PS2 controller plug. But as I said in another post, my Formula Force GP works fine on my computer and PS2. They are probably all the same

So you used your Playstation 2 plug in your computer? Where is this slot?

My Steering Wheel was made for the PC and just happens to work on the PS2 as well.
