I’ve bought the following model from Ebay for 3€, I’ve choose this for 2 reasons: Playstation 2 to USB adapterĪs first thing you have to buy an adapter from the Playstation 2 joypad to a standard USB port. Please note I’ve tested this on my Linux Mint 14, that uses the same Kernel (3.5.x) and software of an Ubuntu 12.10. In my opinion Playstation joypads are some of the best you can find around, probably Xbox are good too, but I’ve an unused playstation 2 and so I’ve choose to go in that direction.Īnd I must say that with a great surprise everything worked fine without too much problems !! Perhaps it’s just me but I don’t like too much to manage around 10 different keys on the keyboard and remember all the combo that I’ve to do with them, a joypad it’s a much simpler way to play that kind of games, and what’s the best joypad around ?
Thanks to all the Indie games, Steam and Humble Bundle recently the market of games for Linux has become most active than ever and so I’ve bought some arcade/action/platform games.
