My first arcade stick

[Mod_Man_Extreme]

What sucks is I just bought the Street Fighter IV fight sticks with the assumption it would work on my PS2 games played on my 60GB PS3. Guess what, I was wrong. I was really looking forward to playing Guilty Gear Accent Core+, Tekken, and all my PS2 Shmups with it. I guess you can use old controllers with new consoles but not vice versa.

Apparently this is actually Sony's fault as any controller needing a high power data transmission such as the SF:IV Fightstick won't work, but all older PS1/PS2 sticks/pads will run just fine in the low power legacy mode the PS3 switches to as the console emulates all of the older systems' functions such as controller ports, memory cards etc...
