8BitDo has introduced that they’ve lastly gotten round to making a wi-fi Bluetooth receiver for PS1 and PS2. The timing couldn’t be higher since I simply purchased a PSone the opposite week.

Beforehand, 8BitDo launched wi-fi adapters for SNES, NES, and Genesis consoles. These assist you to join any 8BitDo controller, in addition to many various fashionable ones, to a basic console. I personally have ones for my SNES and Genesis, which I take advantage of for my SF30 Professional and M30 controllers. My canine hates cords, for some purpose, and received’t cross the lounge if one is on the ground, so this kind of factor is simply handy for him.

8BitDo doesn’t at the moment have a controller that strictly emulates the feel and appear of an unique DualShock, however the Professional 2 controller comes fairly shut. If that’s nonetheless too far off, you possibly can join a DualShock 4 or Dualsense. DualShock 4 seems like the apparent selection for me, however in addition they listing the Wii U Professional controller as suitable, which I’m a fan of. Nevertheless, this additionally means I can use my arcade stick for some Bloody Roar.

Some persons are questioning about the way it will work with video games that use the PS2’s pressure-sensitive buttons, however the press info I’ve learn doesn’t actually tackle this. My guess is that it received’t. This would possibly trigger some points for some video games like 2000’s The Bouncer. Nevertheless, I often neglect this function even exists till I run up towards it.

Hopefully, now that the PS1 is out of the way in which, 8BitDo might be fast to result in adapters for the N64, Sega Saturn, and Turbografx-16.

It seems that the 8BitDo retro receiver for PS1 and PS2 is offered proper now from their web site for $24.99 USD.
