 Not only works for GH/RB, but for other PS2 controllers as well. Jun 06, 2008
By J. W.
I bought this adapter because I own a pretty big collection of PS2 games, and I already put away my PS2 for extra space. What am I going to use it for? Very niche titles that few of you will care.
First, obvious compatibility that most will care about is the Guitar Hero guitars for GH3 and RB. They work. Not 100%, but work. However don't expect it to work again on future GH titles since Activion is a money hungry-portholic-jackass and probably will change their game codes so this adapter won't work. Who knows?
Second, dual shock 2 also works well for PS2 and PS3 games. No tilting for sixaxis-supported PS3 titles, obviously.
Ok so the first and second part of my review are obvious ones that everyone else already talked about. My main test subjects for this review are
Taiko Drummaster, Beatmania, Pump it up, DDR, Tekken arcade stick, Street Fighter 15th anniversary controller by Nubytech, and Saturn PS2 controller.
Taiko Drummaster-Game only recognizes the drum as the dualshock2 controller. What this means is that you can't use the drum to navigate the menu, but WILL work once the song starts. All I could do was to use the controller, pick a song, pause, and then switch back to drum in order to play the game.
Beatmania-Game has an option to choose either controller or turntable controller. I pick turntable, and the controller works perfectly fine.
Pump it up-It works well
DDR-DOES NOT WORK. If it works, there might be lags. Sorry for the confusion.
Tekken arcade stick-It works, but I read somewhere that there are few millisecond lags for joystick inputs. Doesn't affect average Tekken/VF player like me, but experts might.
SF 15th anniversary edition controller pad by Nubytech-Tested with SF Anniversary Collection, and it works fine.
Saturn PS2 controller-My main reason for buying the converter was to use this controller for my fighting games like KoF and SF on my PS3. It was bit of a gamble since this controller is an import, but to my surprise it WORKS!!!
In conclusion, this converter does a pretty good job of letting you use most of the PS2 controllers for PS2/PS3 games on PS3.

 BEWARE: WILL NOT WORK AFTER 2.7 UPDATE Apr 03, 2009
By Samuel Gao
This converter worked fine until I've updated my system to 2.7. Now it's nothing more than paper weight. Good thing I didn't update my system while this thing was plugged in! I hear a lot of people bricked their PS3's and had to FORMAT all their saved games...

 Not close enough... Apr 04, 2009
By G. Wolfe
"avidgamefan"
As another poster has mentioned, a newer PS2 controller revision H does not appear to work at all. I found an older controller, and that worked, except that R2 didn't work for a driving game, so that is limiting. I also have a Logitech wireless controller, and that seemed to work perfectly! This was all with system version 2.60.
Note that I'm not using it for one of it's biggest features, using the PS2 guitar controllers.
I upgraded the PS3 system software to version 2.70, and now the TAC adapter locks up my PS3 when I plug it in, as a previous reviewer mentioned. (Also, as that previous poster mentioned, do not have this adapter plugged in while updating the system software!) So, it looks like it won't work at all, now. Until updating the system software, it looked like it was going to be good enough, as I'd just use it with the Logitech controller, but this seems like a real problem.

My Precious! Jul 31, 2008
By Michael Cooley
Works perfectly (so far). Star power even works like it is supposed to.
Some of the other reviews said that you had to use the select button, but
this is not true--at least with MY guitar (Gibson). My wife said that she
thinks there may be a small lag, but I cant say that I have noticed it.
If you bought a 80gb PS3 like I did--and have been tearing your hair out
because the console will PLAY your old Guitar Hero games but your guitar
doesnt work--then this is your salvation :)
TAC deserves some kind of award for creating something that Sony should
have built INTO the 80gb PS3 if they were going to claim
'backward compatability' for the Guitar Hero Series; Who wants to play
GUITAR HERO with a controller?
*NOTE: You may need to reassign controller IDs so that you have an empty
slot for 1A (thats where your guitar needs to be located). You will also
need to keep a normal controller handy, as you will need it to exit the
games (PS2 guitars dont have the nifty little PS3 button).
Rock On!

 Works as advertised Jun 13, 2008
By Aaron Silverman
"DJ Kuul A"
I'm guessing that most people are interested in this item for the same reason I was: to play PS3 Rock Band with a PS2 Guitar Hero controller. To cut to the chase, I plugged it in and it worked perfectly.
As a side note, I've been letting my 2-year-old play with the PS2 GH guitar for a while now, and it still works. Good luck trying that with the Rock Band guitar. :)
I also used it to play Guitar Hero 1 for the PS2 on my PS3 (note that it's a 60GB PS3, which is hardware-compatible with PS2 games). It worked, but it initially recognized the guitar as controller #2, even though I turned on the console by inserting the game disc and didn't activate my PS3 controller. It was seeing the BD/DVD remote as controller #1. I pressed the PS3 button on the remote and changed it to controller #2, and presto, the guitar became controller #1 and worked fine.
There are only two minor issues that kept me from awarding this five stars:
1. The controller number LEDs don't work. (The connection LED does.) I don't care enough to mail it back for a replacement.
2. The included documentation is feeble. I had to check the online FAQ to figure out why GH1 wasn't working at first. The information in the package should have been more clear.
So, to sum up, the doc is poor and the build quality may be questionable, but the product does what it's supposed to and does it very well.
