8BitDo releases adapter for using modern controllers on PS1 and PS2

Nothing new, but it's nice to see more companies making these kind of things. Would be nice to get some for consoles that don't have many/any options

Ahhh I miss read that. Thank you. Still, interesting to see a feature like that removed.
They definitely are. In Ace Combat 4, R1 is thrust and it is pressure sensitive.
If you actually want to play PS2 games the Retrofighters Defender is a better idea as it has pressure sensitive buttons.
