Works Perfectly for Dual Shock Controllers
I bought this product for use with a PS2 dual shock controller and set up and install was straightforward and easy with the provided driver disc. The only caveat I encountered was after mapping the buttons and starting the game, I didn't realize you need to push F5 to enable analog stick control. After that though, all worked perfect!

Simple and high quality
The device is simple, usage is straightforward, and it works. I have only used single player ps2 controller and cobalt flux pad, but both performed flawlessly with no noticeable lag on my computer.

Works great
I bought this for Stepmania and ePSXe and it works great with my dance pad and dualshock after some configuration. However, EMS will not be making a driver for Vista x64 so I had to install it on an XP computer. So, before you buy this, make sure to do some research regarding the drivers and your OS!

Wonderful
Works perfectly with my Red Octane dance pad and Stepmania. Great buy!

Go GO GADGET! USB!!
This precious little object enables you to enjoy your gaming experience like never before. You can attach various PS2-related gadgets like guns, controllers, and dance-pads. Furthermore, you can maximize your game experience when playing 3D related titles like Halo to 2D titles like M.U.G.E.N, Metal Slug, and Stepmania(a free Dance Dance Revolution simulator that can be downloaded at stepmania.com)

I strongly recommend this product to anyone who has PS2 controllers/dancepads, and does not wish to waste valuable cash on products like USB controllers. Don't just stand there, get your VISA out and buy while supplies last.

Review with IIDX Controller
I bought this to use with my IIDX controller.

There are some lag issues but they can be fixed (there are many guides on the internet for this.) however it's still quite a hassle.

It's a good product (from what i hear it works very good with DDR simulations), but for IIDX it's fairly standard.

It's good, but....
For most games on my PC, it works flawlessly, but for Stepmania, it screws up a little bit. In Stepmania, It won't let you press down if right or left is pressed (making most heavy songs impossible). Not only that, but it has a verty slight lag that tends to turn my perfects into goods, and my greats into misses. Maybe it has something to do with the pad I'm using, though. I'm using the standard Konami DDR dance pad for Playstation.

Work Great
I don't know how well it works with the gun but my friends and I only bought it for stepmania (a DDR clone for the PC) It works great and we could attach two dance mats to it at the same time. People are saying that the x,o, square, and triangle buttons don't work in stepmania, but you could configure it. As far as I'm concerned, it works ferfectly with any 2 PS2 controll units.

Working Perfect with Stepmania Dance Mats
Only adaptor I've found that allows 2 player mode. Very fast shipping. Thanks!

No title
great
works great
i got this because the recommendation from the stepmania site
no problems at all

Flawlessly working for DDR/Stepmania
Maps controls for Stepmania immediately, fixes the joy-axes problem, two controller ports, what more could you want? The EMS Dual Shooter gets a 5 out of 5

ems usb2
received product after 5 business days (fast) product in perfect condition.I purchased this adapter to use a dance pad ...couldint be any easyer install driver plug & play thats all there is to it !

Works Great with Dance mats
I got one so that i could use my dance mat on my pc, it converts simultanious button presses but the x,o,square,and triangle buttons don't work in stepmania, other that that it works flawlessly in stepmania!

Works Perfectly
Drivers were easy to install and it works flawlessly

Super Adapter!
Der Dual Shooter EMS ist der beste Adapter!
Es funktioniert mit der Dancing Mad.

Great for Stepmania
It works great for dancepads with StepMania. I just installed the drivers and pluged it into my usb, no problems at all.

EMS and dance pad
Just plugged it in and windows xp recognized it immediately (no floppy disk needed, as for that none came with the adapter).

I use it with Stepmania (3.9 rc2a) and I didn't have to set the "Ignore Joy Axes". Maybe that depends on the stepmania version.

Just plug and play :)

If you only want to use one dance pad get the S-Joy converter.

the EMS converter on PC - some flaws exist
I used it in win xp and I didn't need any software instalation. The only drawback I found is that two of my old gamepads (official dual shock scph-1200) had problems with the directional pad. both lost center randomly and sometimes some buttons didn't respond. But out of 6 gamepas I tried, only the 2 oldest gamepads had any problems.

here's which gamepads I tried

scph-110 - flawless
2 scph-10010 - flawless (one of those had been chewed by a dog!!!)
2 scph-1200 - both had glitches but they're both quite old (about 6 years old).


I didn't have a chance to try the ps2 fonctions though...

A good buy overall but if you only have old scph-1200 series dualshock you could regret it.

This one is PERFECT (or almost?)
Well, this is the sinlge most usefull game acessory for the PC that I have ever seen. You can have TWO of the best gamepad/joystick on the planet (the PlayStation's) on one single USB port. and you can use most of the Playstation acessories and controls, Driving Wheels, Dance Mat, fish poles... name it, and you have it.
And still you have the "bonus" of the GUNCON convertion. you can use PS1 guns on PS2 games. Cool? For a single device, this offers a lot.
I only with two things:
That I could use PS2 Analog Buttons on the PC.
That I could use a Guncon on the PC.
But I think that the PC is the one that can't handle these. If it could, I bet this would also be the product to use. Oh, and great drivers also... Pain less on WIN98, 2000, ME and direct plug-and-play on WINXP.
Guess a lot of friends will get one as birthday gifts...

Dance Mat and StepMania
I use Windows XP and didn't install any drivers whatsoever. StepMania works ok without any special configuration.

perfect for StepMania
The Dual Shooter (EMS USB2) is perfect for StepMania, the PC emulator of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). Unlike some PSX->USB converters, the Dual Shooter handles Up/Left and Up/Right steps and can connect two dance pads. Also, the Dual Shooter supports PSX/PS2 controllers instantly with force feedback (rumble/shock).

The other poster is correct. Make sure you install the software from the included floppy disk BEFORE plugging the Dual Shooter into your USB port. In StepMania, set "Ignore Joy Axes" to "on" before configuring the pad.

This product is a wonderful gizmo!

This EMS2 Convertor and dancepad
I've bought this convertor in order to be able use my psx dancepads on PC. Well it works. First install software from floppy, then plug USB (in this order) and in Stepmania you need to set "Ignore Joy Axes ON" first and then configure joystick. But after that - it's working flawlessly.
