No-one would happen to have a spare game controller on hand, perchance?

I've recently become curious about playing various games that would be vastly more usable with a game controller than without. Thus, I am curious as to whether anyone around here has something like a PSX game controller designed for the PC, and if they'd be willing to lend it? You know, something like:

Idly, and possibly unhelpfully, you know that you can get adapters to use PSX controllers on a PC?

[reaverta]

I did not!

Are they cheep, like the budgie?

That thing above looks to cost me roughly NZ$30, which is roughly US$15+shipping to these parts, so...

[darknedchivalry]

Scott has one of those adapters:)

[invisiblemoose]

Hey, that's right, I do!

[reaverta]

Hum.

I don't suppose our dear invisiblemoose would be able to lend it, along with darkenedchivalry lending a PSX controller, at all?

With your powers combined, I am captain GAMER! Or something like that. :P

[darknedchivalry]

i can do a controller. i think i have one floating about somewhere.

[reaverta]

If it could be brought to Geek Night, mayhap?

Does depend whether invisiblemoose is willing to lend/find/etc the adapter, of course, but it would be really handy to try it out.

[darknedchivalry]

mhm, i think the adapter he has a slot for a psx controller, i know it has a slot for a n64 and snes controller. either way :)

I dare say i dont think he would be using it.

How you know i had a psx controller anyway?:P

[reaverta]

Dude.

Are you seriously asking whether I should doubt that you have a controller for a gaming console?

I'm afraid your reputation preceeds you. :p

[darknedchivalry]

laughs* i suppose i really am that sad that if anyone has a piece of gaming equipment for any system its me.

Reputation, me? piffle.

[reaverta]

Oh, hardly.

It's more that you seem the sort to own very-nearly-all the consoles that came out; or at least the successful ones.

On this logic, the odds of you having one of the classics? Yeeeaah. ;)

You may have a point there..
