Is there a USB4maple for PS1/PS2?

I have a PS2 and PS1 racing games that can be played with a NeGcon controller and steering wheel, but they're not compatible with the DualShock 2.

I wanted to know if there was an adapter to allow me to play them with a DualShock 2, or better yet, a PC steering wheel like my G25.

No one thought of it, or is it just not interesting?

It's not released yet. Bit complex to build as it requires voltage conversion...
PS1/PS2 can supply 3.3v and ~7.5v, but USB devices requires 5v. For my board, I've been using a step down converter to go from ~7.5v to 5v.
If you really want to build one, I can share the WIP firmware and the wiring instructions. Send me a PM.

No pcb. Just the pico and some wires.
Thanks but I'm not actively working on it anymore.

Thank you very much. This will be for my personal use only.
