 Great budget gaming solution - Now with 4 player capability Oct 02, 2009
By Kurgan
With all the hassle of getting the right gamepad or joystick for your PC, have you ever wished you could just plug in a Playstation 2 controller? Well now you can, and not just one, but FOUR at once. As a USB device, it's easy to plug and play, and you don't have to worry about restarting your computer every time you want to re-arrange the controllers or plug/unplug the device (though it may have to install the USB drivers if it's the first time you've used it).
This is a great tool, not only because the Playstation 2 featured a wide variety of gamer-friendly controllers over the years, but because due to their hold on the gaming market for so long, they are very easy to find and fairly inexpensive.
This particular plug is one of many that are now on the market, but its claim to fame is that it has four ports right on the USB plug (a somewhat large, black, semi-transparent plastic affair). You just plug up to four PS2 compatible controllers in and rock and roll. There is a mini CD-ROM included (don't throw out that cardboard backing from the package!) which has a calibration tool (it's quick and painless, if needed) and it's a snap to use. There is full support for the (overrated) "Rumble" feature on the Dual Shock controllers and you can use the digital D-pad as well as both analog sticks, and all 12 buttons (two of the "buttons" on the PS2 are just pressing each analog stick as if it were a digital button). I tested this with some sports controllers from EA, an official PS2 controller and one of MAS System's arcade sticks.
In this age when a lot of classic arcade and console games are emulated on the PC, it's nice to be able to use a gamepad or joystick that is closer to the "real feel" of the original game.
The only complaint I had was that after installing from the CD, the plug only reported three controllers connected (it always refused to recognize the fourth). I googled the official website and found a set of updated drivers for Windows 2000 (my OS), uninstalled the existing drivers, and installed the new ones. Worked like a charm. Now I can play four players anytime! The included software also lets you reconfigure the buttons and enable turbo if you want to (something I'm not sure all similar plugs, like the two plug adapter I got doesn't have).
While I disagree with the legions of Sony fanboys who say that the "Dual Shock" for the PS2 is the greatest controller ever designed for video games, some of the third party variants on it are quite comfortable in your hands. The great thing about this product is that you can choose whichever ones you want. I haven't tested PS1/PSX controllers on it, but supposedly those should work just as well.
According to the advertising blurb, this was designed not only for game pads and joysticks, but also Dance Pads. I haven't tested it with any of those, but I know many high quality PS2 dance mats have been released, and via emulation of the PS game (or the PS2 games which are in a preliminary stage of emulation, and require top notch systems to run average speed) or an officially released DDR type game for the PC you could use that here.
The fact that game controllers do wear out eventually is also a reason to get this plug, since a console controller that has been modified to use USB or something will die and then you're stuck. This way you can just find another cheap controller and plug it in to one of the slots.
Similar products exist out there for other systems (Xbox, Saturn, Dreamcast, N64, Gamecube/Wii), but I'm not sure that any besides this one support four instances of the same system's controller type (some plugs out there will support multiple systems, but one of each, like 1 Xbox, 1 Gamecube, and one 1 PS).

Works with Vista 64 bit! May 02, 2009
By J. Green
"J. Green"
I bought an el cheapo PS2 controller to USB adapter on Ebay only to find out it wouldn't work on Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Oh sure, Vista recognized it, but I couldn't test it under the diagnostics as well as my emulator software couldn't recognize it. After I got my refund I decided to spend a little more on this because of the four controller ports. When I got it it looked exactly like the pictures (Which is a PLUS!) with the exception of the "Vista Compatible" sticker on the upper right hand corner of the plastic packaging.
I plugged it in, and like before it was recognized. And like before I couldn't run diagnostics. But unlike the cheap version, it came with a driver disc. Installed the drivers, and checked the diagnostics. It worked with flying colors.
Every button on my controller was recognized and it works with wireless controllers! This is highly recommended for Vista 64 bit users! Sure, you'll pay more but I'm proof it works.

 Works As It Should (with Vista 64 too!) May 12, 2011
By Eliot Cole
There's no reason to dislike this, it works as it should. Crucially, that functionality remains in Vista 64 (let me clarify that for search engines: "This works on Windows Vista 64"), the only drawback (so minor it barely registers) is that you need to ensure that all the PS2/3 devices that you want to use are plugged in BEFORE you plug this in to the USB slot.

 Drivers come in a 3.5 floppy disk, but are available online Mar 19, 2011
By Alp
It's a good product, but the drivers come in a 3.5 floppy disk (they are also available online) and the instructions don't tell you where is the program to test it or map the keys (Game controllers in Control Panel).
To install it:
1. Download the drivers from the mayflash website (google mayflash super joy box 5 pro). They have all the drivers for download at their site. There are two drivers for the "PC039 Super Joy Box 5 pro". One is for Vista and Windows 7, and a few drivers below that one is the one for Win 98/Me/2000/XP.
2. Install the appropriate driver for you operating system (eg Vista/WIndows 7, or Win 98/Me/2000/XP)
3. Plug a PS/PS2 controller into the Super Joy Box 5 Pro (their instructions say one must do this before plugging it into the USB)
4. Plug the Super Joy Box 5 Pro into a USB port. Windows will recognize the device.
The Test Page and mapping of keys is in "Game controllers" in Control Panel. It's called TigerGame PS/PS2 Controller Adapter. There will be one per PS/PS2 controller plugged in.

Playstation 2 PSX TO PC USB Converter Dec 25, 2011
By John S.
This works perfectly with my Windows XP computer. I have 2 controllers connected to it and there is no lag with my controllers. It also has the ability to use turbo with the buttons on your controller.
