Ok sweet, so what were we going on about on the subject of controllers?

[Ibanez32]

I was wandering how many pages the tred was gonna get to before sometihng changed.

[gamingmonkey2004]

im expecting hte new controllers to have analog duh!

[Makaveli_786]

Personally I think its impossible to improve over what we have now.

[Ibanez32]

As its very good not perfect i beg to differ. Any chance it might have an LCD screen so you can view menus of a game without pausing. Or will something like that be accounted for by PsP compatability.

[ultimategamer2004]

It wont hapen but haow about being able to use psp as a controller it would be good... Also what do you think the chances of sony making all controllers wireless.

I was wandering how many pages the tred was gonna get to before sometihng changed.

Just so you know, threads that reach 20 pages will be closed and then re-started.

[KlawHammer]

Sweet, coz the other PS3 thread took on something like 60 pages aye? Saves space and makes sense...

[Kiwi]

I was going to split that thread up into roughly 3 20 page threads, but it was so slow loading that I didn't bother.

Anyway, back to the subject of controllers.....

[slayerx]

I think wireless controllers will be with this console it would make sense and the design i feel is great but the analouge sticks need to be more durable i have gone through 2 last year alone playing Socom

I've only just broken the pad I was using when I bought my PS2 at launch.

[slayerx]

Ok *puts hands up* i broke one modifying it for Socom My bad :P

[KlawHammer]

As of now i've used exactly the same controller. The only problem i have and thats been nagging me ever since i bought my PS2 is the bottom-left shoulder button (L2). It squeaks alot. I'm gonna try and oil it and see if thatr solves the prob.

**opens controller and oils it with Shell Helix motor oil in the hope of eradicating the squeak.**

Ok *puts hands up* i broke one modifying it for Socom My bad :P

What were you doing to it for socom? Haven't had the privalige of playing this so excuse me if its something obvious.
Wireless controllers would be good if they and fixed internal long life batteries that charge on the system.

[slayerx]

Socom 1 had a p roblem with the button layout if i remeber R3 changed fire rate but also moved you so when you got in a gun fight with it been intense online you often switched from rapid fire to single shot and lost the fight which was really frustrating luckly this was fixed in Socom 2 by making it so you have to Double tap the button or hold it down for like a second to change it.

The mod i attempted was to add a switch to turn R3 on and off to i could put to Rapid then disable R3 so i couldnt change fire rate

[Kiwi]

I'm guessing that it's actually possible to do that kind of stuff, you just messed it up right?

Whereabouts would you find the information to do it?

[gamingmonkey2004]

what information matt? and..

JOY back to the wireless disscussion again havnt had this one but like 3 or 4 times! but yes wireless is cool cause you can just leave it in the cabnit or w/e and play and dont worry about people walking by and unplugging you and making you get off you fat lazy butt and plug it back in...wahh!

[slayerx]

Yeah i just messed up in the controller it is possible to disable R3 or L3 with some soldering then add a switch to turn off and on i have a link some where i will post it when i find it

[gamingmonkey2004]

why would you want to do that?
