PS3 NeGcon - Can it be done???

[sluggy]

YES !!! Been playing Wipeout HD all day on and off with a Cronus max plus with x-aim plug in. I am using a combined script which has sorted out the dead zone and shortened the range of twist. Playing feels perfect just like on the ps1. I am suddenly winning with ease, I shall have to go up a level !

Wanted to buy a cronusmax plus today, but GameStop was out. I'll have to pick one up. You are using this on the PS3?

[sluggy]

Yes on the ps3. Has given the game a much better feel.

Do you have a ps tv to try it on?

Hey all,

I know I’m kinda late to join the party but I’ve come up with an excellent negcon converter for the ps3.

Required assets are an Arduino Uno board, a resistor, some wires and preferably a controller socket.
The steps I followed are all written down in this article, http://tecnomente.altervista.org/201...-with-arduino/
The method uses Unojoy to make the Arduino behave as a joystick and Ps2x_lib to read ps1/2 controller data.

It didn’t work properly at first, some modifications to Ps2x_lib were required to retreive clear negcon data.
After that I added code to minimize the deadzone, reduce the maximum twist and use key combo’s for ie. the Home button.
It’s all working great, been racing like it’s 1996 and I’m having a blast. So I like to share it here.

The modified Ps2x_lib and my arduino/negcon sourcecode is available on github:

Enjoy!

Awesome news PhaseIV, sounds like it works really well. Would love one of those.

I'm just wondering if it can work with the Omega Pack, and get it to work with Formula Fusion
