Description
 
Have your PS2 guitar controller and want to rock out on the new PS3 console? TAC has a perfect solution for you. The PS2 to PS3 Converter will enable your old PS2 controller (guitar or non-guitar) to be used on PS3 for both Guitar Hero and Rock Band games*.

The converter has a USB connector on one end and PS2 connector on the other. Simply plug the converter into PS3, connect the PS2 controller, and set the switch to either Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Gamepad and you are  ready  to go.

*TAC has tested the following games and controllers to ensure they work flawlessly with TAC PS2 to PS3 Converter.
  • Games
    • Guitar Hero III for PS2
    • Guitar Hero III for PS3
    • Guitar Hero I for PS2
    • Rock Band for PS3
  • Guitar Controller
    • All TAC PS2 wired and wireless guitars
    • All RedOctane/Activision PS2 wired and wireless guitars
    • Nyko Frontman PS2 wireless guitar
    • DreamGear Shredster and other guitars
    • All React and Psyclone PS2 wired and wireless guitars
  • Regular Controller
    • Sony PS2 Controller (rumble feature is not supported due to lack of PS3 support)
Many other controllers are compatible with TAC PS2 to PS3 converter but due to the availability of other controllers and the lack of resources, TAC was not able to test all of them.

Note : This universal PS2/PS3 Adapter does not suffer from hammer-on/hammer-off problem that other PS2/PS3 Adapter was having when used with Guitar Hero game.

Starpower Problem, Please Fix July 1, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person  
The only problem I have with this product is you can't activate starpower while either holding down the Green or Orange button.

TAC Note : The Select+Green and Select+Orange is designed to simulate Left and Right button on the D-Pad. Star Power can be activated by tilting the guitar upwards or just pressing the Select button alone.

Doesn't Work on GH2 on PS3 June 19, 2008
Reviewer: steve cvar from los angeles, CA United States  
The whole reason I bought this was to play GH2 on my PS3.  It does not work on GH2, and they should make this more obvious on this website.

Works great in Rock Band on PS3, but thats not why I bought it.

AWESOME!!!! May 28, 2008
Reviewer:  Mike from Texas  
I have been waiting for an adapter like this to come out.  I have the flying V guitar that I used on the PS2.  Now with this adapter I can use my old wireless guitar on the PS3 on RockBand and GH.  Awesome job guys.  Now if they only made a guitar for us lefties.

some DDR issues May 23, 2008
Reviewer: Chris Genther from Dorr, MI United States  
for Guitar hero: A+
for Rock Band: A+
For Dance Dance Revolution: C+

This converter works absolutly perfect! for GHIII and Rock Band, but I tried testing it out on DDR for the PS2 and sometimes, the Up and Down buttons dont register, but otherwize, it is playable

needlesstosay, if it was fully DDR compatible, I would have given this converter a 5 stars.

I would still highly recommend this converter to anybody though :) This is the best one out on the market by far!

Perfect for GH3 and Rock Band May 19, 2008
Reviewer: Tim from WOODSIDE, NY United States  
This adapter is fantastic and works perfectly for GH3 and Rock Band.
Of the three SGs I own, only the one that came with GHII works. The other two SGs from the original GHI didn't register at all.
The LED controller indicator light only works when switched to the GH position.
GHI on PS3 has problems. HOs and POs work, but notes drop, cut off and are out of sync.
7 dollars for shipping and handling but no padding. My adapter arrived cracked. 25 cents worth of padding could have prevented this.
My order took 10 days to arrive USPS Priority. I could not track because the number from TAC was different from the one on the package. Customer service blamed USPS' for not updating their website. I would give the shipping experience 2 stars.
Overall a great product. Here is to hoping the great minds at TAC get the constraints with GH II and 80s edition worked out for a future PS2 to PS3 adapter.
