Discount 3 in 1 Magic Joy Box (PS2/PS/GC/XBOX to PC USB Adapter)

Customer Ratings:

The GameCube and PS2 slots work like a charm right out of the box, even on Windows 7 x64. Sadly, it would not recognize any Xbox S Controller I threw at it, and I had quite a few laying around, even with the drivers from the Mayflash site. It did however, have no problem recognizing the original "duke" Xbox controller, so I guess it technically works... But honestly, who wants to use the friggin' duke? It even has a picture of an S controller on the back of the package, so I assume they weren't intending just the duke to work. All my machines are running Windows 7 now, so unfortunately I couldn't test to see if XP/Vista have the same problem.

Edit: I went back in to work on this problem more, after realizing the drivers HAD to work for both the S and the duke since they'd need to seem identical to an actual Xbox. With a little bit of trial and error, I found out I was right. In case anyone has the same issue I did, I shall share my very simple solution. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, but maybe I can save you some time and effort. Remember, I can only verify this for Windows 7 x64, but I imagine it could apply to other operating systems if they have similar problems. Making it step by step for those not too great with Windows.

1. Install the latest 3 in 1 drivers from the Mayflash.com, if you haven't already.

2. If Windows fails to install the drivers automatically, it should appear in Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers as a "Generic USB Hub" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark.

3. Right click, click properties, and under the hardware tab you should have "Generic USB Hub" and "Unknown Device" with a yellow exclamation point.

4. Click on the unknown device and hit the properties button. Go to the driver tab, click update driver. Then click "Browse My Computer for Driver software." Then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Select "Show All Devices" and click Next. Under manufacturer, scroll down to "TigerGame Limited" and select "TigerGame Xbox+PS2+GameCube Controller Adapter", and hit next. You'll have a warning pop up, click yes. You may also be asked to trust content from "Xinan Ruida Electronic Factory", click yes.

There you go, you should be set. Make sure you change the controller mode to analog and calibrate. Hope all that typing helps someone.

Every since emulators for PC came out, it has been a great idea for old school gamers everywhere. Not only be able to play your favorite games, but also be able to play them with optional extras that the console never offered, such as taking screen shots, allowing your game to be saved anytime for any game, even play european or asian games without being restricted to the country you are in. The only down side was that the you were limited to the PC's keyboard controls.

Now, that's all changed. This device acts as 3 controllers in 1. Now, you can plug in your Playstation, XBOX, or Gamecube controller into one of these slots and then plut it into your PC and you now have the ultimate controller device that you can use to play your favorite games. Imagine playing your favorite games with your favorite controller at your fingertips. Imagine being able to play the SNES version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with a PS2 controller, or play any N64 game for PC with your Gamecube controller. This definitely makes game playing a lot easier with controllers you can use. Only down side to this is that there are no drivers that come with this device, you just have to hope and pray that the "plug n play" will be able to configure the device to work with your PC. (At least I didn't get any CD with it) But, it did configure the device for me without much hassle and I have been happy every since. I am sure if you look online hard enough you might be able to find the device drivers for it to help you install the device if you run into problems.

Overall I had no problems with the device. Every controller as work great for me and I had no issues of response time or configurations problems. All I can say is if you want to be able to play your emulators a little easier, this device will help.

It works with a PS2 dance pad with Stepmania under Linux with no drivers needed. That's all I wanted, it delivered, I'm happy.

There are a lot of terrible adapters out there that don't work with dance pads. Some work with additional drivers, but those drivers only work under Windows. At least one competing adapter ships with viruses in the drivers! (I have no idea if the drivers this one shipped with are any good; it worked under Linux so I never tried it under Windows.)

Honest reviews on 3 in 1 Magic Joy Box (PS2/PS/GC/XBOX to PC USB Adapter)

I'm not sure why Amazon asked me how much fun this "game" was... but, this product works as intended. I originally purchased it to plug my gamecube controller into my laptop to play on an emulator, and it took a little figuring out at first but it works just fine. I've had no problems with it and I've owned it for about 4-6 months more or less.

I've only used this thing with GameCube controllers so far, but it works perfectly with one exception: I can't get my Nintendo Wavebird wireless controller to work with it. All of the other controllers I've tried (including 3rd party wireless ones) have worked perfectly. The "Receive" indicator lights up when there's input, but no signals come through. I wonder if it's a power issue.

Overall, I'm very happy with it.
