PS2 Hack Simulates Fatigue
I’ve sure seen my fair share of console game controller hacks, but never one like this. The guys at Near Future Laboratory have been working on a hack for a PS2 controller that will making gaming more “realistic” by simulating fatigue. By wiring in the ever versatile Arduino platform to the PS2 controller’s DualShock 2 analog stick and some crafty code they were able to tweak the output signal ever so slightly so that the longer you play, the slower your character moves.
Crazy, yes I know, but if they could only cause you fatigue the longer you play … What am I thinking, maybe they should give all of us bigger boosts of energy so that we can play longer!
