Hello friends in Japan!
I'm in a bit of a rut... trying to look for a PlayStation > USB convertor that is only sold in Japan. I haven't found any websites that sell it at all...
This is the one I'm looking for:
http://www.elecom.co.jp/photo/p01/JC-PS101USV_01.jpg
http://www2.elecom.co.jp/peripheral/gamepad/jc-ps101u/
JC-PS101USV is the model.
I heard it's pretty easy to find... Yamada Denki carries them. It's for the PC but it works on the PS3 with arcade sticks. Reason I need it to work with the arcade stick is I just downloaded T5DR and need convertors for my sticks lol.
Can anyone help me out or either point me in the right direction!?
Thanks!

You might try PMing Cheap D?

I think the op did the right thing by posting the request here.
I'm pretty sure CheapyD will go crazy if all of us start PMing him with requests.

japan is not necessarily the answer. if you're living in san diego, you should be able to find these things with no problems.
you can find these converters easily enough on the web and even in a local radio shack.

check any pc retailer too. they might have these around.
if you have no luck, i'll see if i can help you out.

Actually only the Elecom ones work with Tekken 5: DR... sadly enough I've tried every convertor available in the Southern California area :(
Elecom is the only one that's confirmed to work with arcade sticks that are digital only as well... for T5DR download that is.
If anyone can help I would VERY MUCH appreciate it.

Is this one superior to other adapters in any way?

thakingrocka, if you can and are willing, please let me know how much you'd like per unit shipped to the US... San Diego, CA 92114 to be exact.
mykevermin: So far it's the onlly convertor that works with arcade sticks/digital only inputs etc... so in THEORY it should work with Guitar Hero/DDR pads as well.
I might get some this week but I need more(we run Tekken tournaments over here) as a lot of us have arcade sticks.

That's what I was hoping you'd say. Thanks.

Is whiterabbit reliable?
I need that converter as well, and I need another item from Japan. Unless someone (reliable in here) from Toyko can help? :pray:
