Pelican will be releasing a convertor sometimes after April that will allow you to play PS2/PS1 controllers/arcade sticks on PS3 games AND PS2 games.
That is still quite some time from now...
BUT... I came across another convertor that a friend sent me. I received them today and they work remarkably on PS3 games with NO input lag like the Elecom convertors. I tested it with Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Here is a little write up I put on my site www.SDTEKKEN.com :
So what I was wondering here... with the wonderful Ninjas of NeoGAF help me find out more about these convertors, availability, and WHO MAKES THIS SHIT!?
My friend bought them in Saudi Arabia... they say they are made in China. There are NO logos/brand names on the packaging.
But I do know, they are the best convertors out right now.

The PS2/PS3 Converter is a USB convertor that enables both digital and analog enabled controllers/arcade sticks to be used on the PLAYSTATION 3 console. Upon testing, this converter is the best one on the market in terms of lag. There were no signs of lag for this converter in both Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Virtua Fighter 5.
This was tested in VF5 by enabling autofire on a Hori Real Arcade Pro and referencing the frame counter. Using an Elecom JC-PS201UV converter and an HRAP1 to perform Akira’s P+K+G repeatedly yielded anywhere between 1-4 frames window(usually 3 or 4) of free space between successive P+K+Gs. When using the PS2/PS3 Converter the frame window dropped drastically to either 1 or 2 frames between P+K+Gs.
When testing with single button inputs using the Fighting Stick 3 and the PS2/PS3 Converter the advantage also went to the PS2/PS3 Converter. The Fighting Stick 3 inputting Akira’s P over and over on autofire yielded a frame window in between Ps between 1 and 3 frames, with 3 frames showing up often. When using the PS2/PS3 Converter the window was at a solid 1-2 frames with 1 being the dominant number. Both the Fighting Stick 3 and HRAP1 have the same speed setting for their autofire.
What is even more interesting about this converter is the fact that it allows you to play PlayStation 2 games on the PLAYSTATION 3 console! This is amazing as it is the ONLY converter/product at this time that allows you to play PS2 games on your PS3 without using a SIXAXIS controller. Although we experienced minor lag while playing PS2 fighting games and using the converter, overall it was very responsive.
Unfortunately it is unknown where you can easily purchase this type of converter. There is no brand name and the company that makes these are unknown. Hopefully we will be able to find out more in the near future. Keep checking back! (March 19, 2007).

It's April... Hopefully Pelican comes through with this one soon. *fingers crossed*
