GameCube controller demo starring my freakishly disembodied hands. I was playing around in LittleBigPlanet, and I needed an extra controller so I could reach one of those multiplayer only areas. I found this adaptor, and thought I’d give it a try, and yes it works!

This adaptor, which sells for .99 at Radio Shack, allows you to connect your PS1 or PS2 Dual Shock controller to your PC. This is useful for playing emulators with your favorite classic games, and works well as a normal PC gamepad as well. Here I put it through the rounds of various emulators for NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis. I also take it for a spin in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. This is a very thorough review of the controller and in the video he takes the time to go over all the aspects of using the playstation controller even talking about its rumble feature. There is some discussion about the analog mode that some emulators don’t support.

I found out about the CWiid project, which consists of a library called libwiimote, a wminput application to make your Wiimote into a mouse, keyboard, or joystick, and wmgui, a Wiimote GUI. In this video, I only use wmgui, which isn’t that useful, but it shows the status and readout of the Wiimote data. The PC is running Ubuntu Linux 7.04 with the IOGear GBU221P USB Bluetooth Adapter (the blue glowy thing is a USB hub, my laptop only has one USB port, the Bluetooth adapter and my wireless mouse are plugged into it). The music is the end credits music from Twilight Princess (it’s from the Wii, at least, didn’t have anything better for background music). The camera takes a while to focus…that’s because it’s older than I am, I had to record directly through my PC TV card because recording to VHS-C would mean horrible tracking issues.

EFFBEE from the nintendo.com forums have discovered a working USB Ethernet adapter for those who wish to use a Wired Connection rather than a Wireless one. This video is just to validate and back up EFFBEE’s video. The other video can be found here:
