I still own an original PS2 as well so it's interesting to see someone taking the time make something like this and make it very well.
Same since the year 2000
@@theshield1613 I own the original Final Fantasy X, X-2, God Of War 2, Kingdom Hearts 1, Burnout: Takedown & Burnout: Revenge, as well as every Silent Hill released for that console. I open mine up periodically and use a soft paintbrush to dust out the inside. Keeps it feeling young.😅
No one makes this stuff, this is just part of the simulation that we are all stuck in. They are keeping us we'll trained with video games
Lmao
This kinda tech used to be AZZ in gaming. Limited, pricey, and often not working well : (
Brook comes along in modern day and says phuck that ours works!
The analog (pressure sensitive) face buttons on PS3 controllers are now recognized again if you update to firmware 1.09 👍🏻
How do you update?
Where did you find the firmware? The Brook website seem to only have FW for the original super converter.
Would like to know as well
Thank you for this! I came to the comments to see if anyone had experience with it! Really appreciate it. This comment should be pinned.
@@Snowpiercer2 I’m very confused as to why they would not include type C that’s mind-boggling to me I’m confused as to how you’re supposed to charge the PlayStation five controller or play it wired if there’s no type of support
This is actually pretty useful, my only ps2 controller is in very bad condition so being able to use ps3/4/5 controllers is a life saver!
AND finding a replacement that's worth a phuck is tricky... Not like they make OEM ps2 controllers anymore lol. And the after market knock offs are almost always trash. These adapters are the future : )
I just received my Wingman PS2 yesterday. I love Brook and also have the previous model. This new adapter is awesome! One thing I'd like to mention is not all PS2s are created equal and if you have any issues with synchronization or controller drops, then it's likely you have an old FAT PS2 with power limitations or issues. All you need to do is plug a micro USB cable from the Wingman PS2 to the PS2 USB port and your problems will be solved.
hi. are you saying if i have a fat ps2 with controller drops (due to limitations) then i would have to have the micro usb cable plugged in the entire team? thanks
edit: entire time*
@@rubemorenoo Yes. I got myself a 6 inch cable from Amazon to minimize clutter and it works great.
@@sdmods619 appreciate your reply! I was really looking forward to using my controllers wireless so I may need to get another..
Is there any difference in performance between this and the previous model?
Can one of this Bluetooth device allow me to connect an use multiple controller at the same time? Or will I have to get 3 Bluetooth devices an then some other external part that allows me to use 3-4 controllers on ps2?
I'd like to see more reviews for Brook Wingman products from you Mr. Sujano, I'm not familiar with them myself but I would like to give them ago.
I have tons of them. They all work great! EXCEPT for the wireless functions. Sadly I've experienced disconnect issues : (
But if you're going to use a cable? PHUCK YEAH THEY ARE GREAT! Cable is better anyways. Sure you got a messy cord but the slightly faster response time is more important than one would think.
Just ordered 2, Mr. Sujano! Thanks for the heads up and continued presence in the retro community! 🤙
Can one of this Bluetooth device allow me to connect an use multiple controller at the same time? Or will I have to get 3 Bluetooth devices an then some other external part that allows me to use 3-4 controllers on ps2?
@@Chris4563caqrikndd So I bought those 2 from Mr. Sujano's link and 2 others for PS3 and Xbox consoles (XE2 and XB2). Yeah, it's a replacement for that controller port only. Meaning if you buy one and plug it into your PS2, it's one controller that will be used for that port. But you virtually can use ANY controller there, with no hassle whatsoever! I use this one and the XE2 (PS3 device) with my one DualSense controller...just connect the controller with a usb cord to Brook Accessory adapter, wait 2 seconds for the light to stop blinking, then disconnect and play wirelessly! It's easily the best controller adapter out there! They now started using them in fighting game tournaments for PC and consoles!
You have to update the firmware on the wingman before the pressure-sensitive buttons will work.
Could you make a short video proving it works or provide a link please?
Link to firmware?
This is insane!
I mainly built my gaming PC just to play Gran Turismo 3 in higher resolution and to use my PS4 controller. If this had come out a year ago, I probably would have put building a PC on hold.
I love this.
True, I was looking at spending 200 on a backwards compatible ps3 or 300 on an Xbox series s to emulate ps2 games, but in reality all I needed was this adapter so I can use my Xbox one controller and component cables, and the game looks and plays great 👌
No big deal a PC can be used for way more than just playing one game haha win win for u!
This looks good. I had a PS1 and PS2 when they came out but prefer the newer controllers now. Thanks.
Soft-modded my PS2 phat years ago. Been playing with PS4 controller for a very long time.
Purchased mine today, big game changer
I wish they made one for the Original Xbox. That would be lovely.
Real nice product, ordered one yesterday !!
I was close to getting a PS2 controller but now I’m getting this for sure! Anyone still using it?
Seems like a great adapter I need, because I don't want to use a wired Ps2 controller on my Ps2 Slim
2:32 Other than the obvious PS5 controller and convertor, can you believe it was like 20 years ago having that PS2 setup with GT3 and Capcom Vs SNK 2? I used to get 3 PS2 games for the price of 2 from ToysRUs/Amazon. Those were the good ole days and my Sega Master System is now the ancient days.
A good alternative right now if you don't want to fork over 40 bucks for a brook wingman is buying a cheap bluetooth adapter and using pademu from opl. It only works with ds3/ds4 and some selective third party controllers but it gets the job done. It also wont work outside opl so you need to manually open opl using the ps2 controller. I do hope 8bitdo will eventually make these type of adapters for different types of consoles because they are known for cheap but high quality products.
I was about to grab the 8-bit do adapter before I learned of this pressure sensitivity.
I have my original ps2 slim, with around 60 games, haven’t played around 30 of my games. I was happy I had my ps3 fat, so I could play wireless, but my ps3 broke like 2 years ago, I got so angry about this. I still have like 5 new official wired controllers, but now is so anoying to played with wired controllers, my cats run around and jumps and try to catch the cable, also daughter is 6 years old and keeps running everywhere, so it is impossible to play like this. I don’t mind using the original ps2, just the wired controller this days is so anoying. I just found out about this adapter, I was waiting for something like this for so long ago. I don’t mind about the usb micro or the pressure buttons, so far I only used this on metal gear 2, but a new collection is coming to Last gen console, so probably I will never play again metal gear 2 on ps2.
Excellent review, really you made me decide, I will buy one.
Thanks a lot!
Love how the Astro city mini controller works with this, that is the best fight pad I’ve ever used
Got mine in the mail the other day. Love the new form factor over the wired dongle super converter. Work very well. But I hope brook can fix the inconsistent vibration/rumble issues. For example squall's gunblade trigger doesn't vibrate like original controller. Other games have issues too.
Just updated brook sent me a beta firmware that fix the vibration/rumble issue. Works great now
@@joe9592 Where else can I get the update?
Can one of this Bluetooth device allow me to connect an use multiple controller at the same time? Or will I have to get 3 Bluetooth devices an then some other external part that allows me to use 3-4 controllers on ps2?
@@Chris4563caqrikndd only one controller per converter. A shame for PS2 slim that omcan only plug ins for 2 controllers. But they added multitap compatibility to the converter so that would work, sad I do not have one.
Its amazing honestly, I went back to play some of my PS2 games and forgot how uncomfortable the PS2 controllers get after awhile, now I have this paired with a PS5 controller and will probably go back and replay my entire PS2 game library thanks to it
The next thing I am hoping for with either a firm wear (doubtful) or a version 3 of this converter is support for 4 controllers. It may get a little messy as from what I remember some games had you plug the 4 controller converter into the player 1 slot while others had you plug into the player 2 slot while player 1 used the normal port, but I think it could be something that could be done with a small package
This is cool I like to play my ps2 it has some of the best games back then I might get this and go back and play metal gear 3 never beat that game
You can pair controllers without having to plug them in with a cable first. Just hold Share + PS button and hold the pairing button on the adaptor until it blinks.
@@Chris4563caqriknddI’m literally wondering the same thing
@@Chris4563caqriknddyou will have to get separate device bruh with a mutlitap
You're making me want to get a ps2
Usb c is still very new ... I think it's a Good idea that the company didn't alienate themselves with just USB c and went with a standard USB port ...
I think he meant the micro USB. I don't care about the shape of the cable personally but some people want new stuff
been thinking on grabbing this. thanks for the review
I wish they could’ve included a memory card, like they did with the wingman for the Dreamcast. I was able to grab game saves from the internet and import them to the wingman and play on a real Dreamcast. But seems like an impossible thing for an adapter with a ps2 memory card :(
For the love of god, please make one for the gamecube!
Seems interesting. Was hoping for it to be around 20 dollars tho, but oh well.
Brook adapters are not cheap sad to say. You're lucky if you find one for 30 bux. They tend to be closer to 40 or 50 : (
But if you love controllers and want them working super good? This product helps get you there for sure!
Esp32 Retroblue Works like a charm.
This would work perfect on my ps2 I still have I be happy
You can pair ds3 and ds4 controllers to the ps2 with a usb bluetooth dongle using openps2loader.
That's awesome!
yes just what i’ve been waiting for!
8bitdo actually sells an snes/genesis wireless controller adapter and it's like half the price of this. I do hope eventually they will make one for other retro consoles like the ps2.
Ok the extra controller compatibility over the one I already have would be neat since I still have a bunch of x360 madcatz fightsticks. But at the same time, Retro Fighters just dropped a PS2 pad and that might be more convenient for daily use (as opposed to taking my ps3/4/5 controllers and having to resync them whenever I wanna use em elsewhere)
Trust me, the defender is a decent product at best. Reading and watching on UA-cam all the positive opinions on the controller were not accurate to my overall experience. I like almost everything about the controller except one major flaw: the triggers are WAY too sensitive. I naturally rest my fingers on triggers and I’ve never had an issue with any controller until the RF Defender. I now have one of these converters on preorder lol.
Does this let you connect multiple controllers for multiplayer?
I would assume you need 2 of them for multi player.
It is working with ps2 redoctane guitar hero controller ?? Pleeaas
Does this work for multiple ps5 controllers at one time ??
I would have thought the the pressure sensitive buttons would only work with games coded to implement them, (ps3 games)
PS2 games had pressure sensitive inputs. MGS3 for instance.
Some time ago, I stumbled across mention of a controller adapter for the PS2 that I would love to have. It lets you plug in a mouse and joystick and use them in place of the controller and the analog stick, for playing FPS games. Sadly, the product seems to be out of production and I can't seem to find one anywhere. I wish they'd make something like that, so that people aren't forced to use horrible analog stick controls for FPS games.
Honestly it seems to be a good thing to use this converter with Xbox controller but also they should've added C port
Why would you want to use a Failbox controller?
@Anth Romer yep True
Wish you would play the FFXII disc with the converter. There's an infamous annoyance that certain controllers don't work properly and can't pull up certain menus.
Champions of norath return to arms. It's only on ps2. They never did another version or a reboot/remake/remaster or nothing. It can only be played on ps2 : (
Which means getting the picture to look good on modern tvs is a bit of a drag. Get the ps2 hd mod if you can... It's expensive though : (
Or get the retrotink5x... Which is also expensive lol. I got a lot of consoles so I went with the retro tink 5x pro since it's good to work for the wii and xbox orig as well. Component to hdmi isn't as good as hdmi but it's ALMOST just as good and also has a very old school feel to it that you just can't get with hdmi so I think the retro tink 5x pro is the way to go. So long as you can get decent component cables. HD retro vision is the way to go as the 5xpro is made for just those exact cables. But it will work good with just about any component cables. Even the cheapo ones can work good on it if you're lucky but I think it's smarter to settle for the most expensive cables...
ANYHOO! The controller for ps2 SUUUCKS for this game. At least in my opinion. ALWAYS hated the analog layout and feel of a ps2 controller. Got this adaptor and now I'm rockin a custom series 2 elite for the game. It's super duper badazz yo and brook adaptors with a solid cable are amazing! Going wireless with them kinda sucks sad (disconnect issues during gameplay) to say but cord is ultimately better so I say do what I do. Cord all the way!
But yes. This adaptor is sick. Playing silent hill 3 and finally finishing it for the first time and now I can do it with a controller that's top quality and has phucking back paddles and the ability to change any button to whatever I want. There's even turbo features but I haven't figured out how to work that stuff yet. This is a amazing product for any ps2 lover for sure!
Almost sure the Dualshock 3 and the Sixaxis dropped the pressure sensitive buttons.
they did not. PS3 had analog face buttons
@@mikegreiling You're right. They remove them for the PS4.
It seems like this wont work with victrix pro FS. It lights up but it just gets stuck on down direction. Tried to update the firmware and still has same issue.
Excellent! So the older one won't work on PS1 and just PS2?
You can just use OPL to run anygame with bt or wired
But you would need a wired controller to launch OPL, uLaunchELF, Browser, System Settings etc
@@MichaelM28 at least you get to dodge the 40 bucks
@@eyadhani21 but you have to keep a wired controller plugged in when using any other applications or playing disc games on the PS2. Not worth it
@@eyadhani21 you'll probably only dodge about $20-30 as you need to buy a bluetooth dongle.
@@MichaelM28 sure ig
Hi, do you need 1 converter for each controller or you can use 1 converter for dual controller?
Yes
Was just going to ask the same thing, if these work as a multi tap for wireless controllers … where if we buy two, could we pair four Bluetooth controllers total (2 per converter) ?
Try the fightbox f8 has extra up and down buttons
I got the previous version to use a PS3 controller on my PS2. However, because the analog stick is more loose and the pressure buttons are more sensitive, it made playing most games less enjoyable and harder to play. However, for fighting game arcade pads, it'll be great!
Can I use multiple controllers on one convert? Or do I need a multi tap
can i connect more controllers in one converter all at the same time for local mp
one controller per converter
When they'll release N64 converter 😬
That’s what I want too. They even made a converter for the nes/snes. But they keep neglecting the n64/gamecube/Wii. I wanna be able to use ps4/Xbox controller on those Nintendo consoles. And instead I have to buy third party controllers :(
Have you guys heard of BlueRetro? They make Bluetooth adapters for both the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube. I got 2 of them from AliExpress to use on those consoles. I mostly use my Wii U or Switch Pro controllers on there, but it'll also work with PlayStation and Xbox controllers as well.
Will it work for socom 2 triangle button? Its used to crouch,stand, crawl
If you remap the dualsense triggers (L2 & R2) to accelerate and brake, will it recognize pressure sensitivity?
Doubt it
Most likely not. The best way to do it is to use the mapping feature to map Right Stick Up/Down to the triggers
Hello Mr. Sujano, do you know if this adapter can charge the Dualshock3´s battery while playing pressure sensitive compatible games like Gran Turismo 4 or MGS2? The old PS3/4 to PS2 super converter didn´t had that functionality which is kinda annoying when the battery runs out. It is possible to resume playing in wired mode but the battery doesn't start charging. The Dualsock3 is the only bluetooth controller that can be used to play pressure sensitive games accurately. For non pressure sensitive games I use an 8bitDo SN30 pro plus with 2 AA batteries so no problem. If this new adapter can charge the DualShock3´s battery then it´s an instant purchase for me.
in the video he said the pressure sensitive buttons don't work
@@MrScottyTay I don´t know about this new Wingman PS2 converter but they do work with the old PS3/4 to PS2 super converter in the games that support that functionality. But that wasn´t my question, my question was if this new converter was able to CHARGE the DualShock3´s battery and play games AT THE SAME TIME. It´s kinda strange that no one asked this question before.
I wish there was an adapter for PC so I could use my PS2 Logitech Cordless Action controllers on Windows.
Hi, can you use this adapter to connect the Logitech g29 steering wheel to an ps2?
Thnx
Retro Fighters Defender controller might be better - it works for PS1 PS2 & PS3 👌 neat product nonetheless 🤙
Do they also make converters from PS2 to usb
Can you swap an analog axis from one stick, like X- with X+ on the right stick? Or can this remapping be done only with buttons?
3:51 what does analog and digital mean?
So the new adapter doesn't seem to support pressure sensitive buttons from the DS3 controller, but is it also the case for the Brook Super Converter?
The old one does support pressure sensitivity with PS3 controllers. Just tried it with mine.
If we have two of these converters plugged in, can we pair 4 total Bluetooth controllers to them for 4player games like crash nitro kart or the TMNT Battle nexus ?
Sujano do you know if there are any PS2 memory card to usb converters so that you can dump your old save files?
If your PS2 is softmodded you can use uLaunchELF to transfer your saves from your memory card to a USB
@@MichaelM28 that's the problem, my ps2 is dead 😭
@@icekiller1594 buy a new PS2, softmod it, insert the memory card and transfer your saves to a USB with uLaunchELF
do you have an idea how can i use 3 to 4 controllers at the same time on ps2?
You need to buy a multitap
Does this work with guitar hero controllers?
Do you happen to have a Logitech F310 wired controller you can test on the Wingman? I have a pair of them lying around and my DS2s have worn out.
Is there any advantage of using this compared to using a Bluetooth dongle on a modded OPL PS2. My Dualshock 3 and 4 controllers work very well on it.
This is fantastic work they’re doing here and it seems to be getting better and better!! I’m sure that we’ll even start to see more of them made with usb-c as well, definitely not a show stopper for me!! Thanks for the review Mr. S!!
🤗🤗
It's amazing
Looking forward to a more clean OEM look
PS2 controllers are problematic and looking forward to using the PS3 controllers maintaining a stock look
But would it work with a wireless fighting stick? Maybe switch 8 bitdo or ps3?
Did you feel any latency/lag difference between the old and the new adapter?
I just don't understand why they are stuck on freaking Micro USB...Sweet Baby Jeebus.
Nice!
Could you share where your system is at ?has it been updated ?also was it truly plug and play with no configuration. Thank you for the time great video!
does the player 2 port work well with the adapter for you ?
I can’t get it to go wireless
Same here (With PS5 controller) Did you ever figure it out? The firmware program on PC doesn't even recognize the Wingman when trying to update firmware, I am thinking maybe got a defective unit
Hello I have a question completely different from the topic of your video, do you know how to do netplay on lemuroid, I've been trying and searching but I can't find it. It said on the app that it can netplay in the Google Playstore, thank you
massive shame on the no pressure sensitive button support for the DS3
This works with a PS2 slim, right?
how many controllers can u use wirelessly in the same time.. say can u play party games this way P3+.
Anyone tried this on PS2 Slim?
This with a Dualshock 4 / Dualsense or the Retro Fighters Defender?
Will this allow me to use the headphone jack on the controller? I've been trying to figure out a way to use headphones without running a cable all the way to the ps2
Can i pair two controllers with one wingman dongle so that i can use two controllers?
Can i link multiple controllers with one adapter?
No
how many controllers can I attach to 1 single accesory?
1...one controller per port .
How does the Xbox 360 pressure sensitive buttons work? Also does the duelshock pressure sensitivity work on the old brook converter?
Why should I buy this for $40 when I could buy 3 BlueRetros instead?
It works also whit not original controllers?
Mr. Sujano why are you running composite and not component cables?! Shame :(
when i was searching for this product in aliexpress i found bitfunx blueretro, which does the same job for half the price of brook. i wonder if its a viable options too?
do you know if this works with brooks encoders?
so many ps2 controllers are suffering stick drift... life saver mod
I was here in the first 8 sec lmao
Does it work with racing wheels? Thx!
