Congratulations on purchasing the PS2 to PS3 Adapter from Pelican. Pelican's PS2 to
PS3 Adapter allows you to utilize PlayStation 2 controllers on your PlayStation 3 game
system. Compatible with all PS2 controllers including: DualShock 2 controllers, wireless
controllers, guitars, steering wheels, arcade fighting sticks, dance mats and more. Now
you can play your PS2 and PS3 games on your PS3 with virtually any controller you
desire.
Instructions for controllers, wireless controllers, arcade sticks, steering wheels,
dance mats, and Guitar Hero 1: *If you wish to play Guitar Hero 2 with a guitar while
using the adapter, please read the instructions on the backside of this page.
1. Be sure that the switch on the side of the PS2 to PS3 Adapter is set to "N" for
normal play. If the switch is set to "GH2" you will have undesirable controller reac-
tions. (The "GH2" setting is only used to play Guitar Hero 2 with a guitar. Explained
on the backside of this page.)
2. Insert your PS2/3 adapter into your PS2 peripheral (wired controller, wireless
controller, arcade stick, steering wheel, guitar for playing Guitar Hero 1 or dance mat)
3. Insert the USB side of the PS2 to PS3 Adapter into any PlayStation 3 controller
port. (If your PS3 is on, you should see the numbered red lights flashing.)
4. Press the "Analog" or "Mode" button on your PlayStation 2 peripheral to sync the
peripheral up to a controller port. If your peripheral does not have an Analog or
Mode button, you can press the "PS" button on the PS2 to PS3 Adapter to sync
the peripheral to the controller port. (You should see one red light to indicate
which port your peripheral is synched to.)
5. Your PS2 peripheral should now be active to play your PS3!
PS2 to PS3 Adapter Highlights and Features:
(4 numbered lights – 1,2,3,4) - These lights mimic the 4 lights
on a PS3 controller. The light shown indicates which port your
peripheral is synched to. Flashing lights indicate that a peripheral
has not been synched.
(PS Button) - The PS Button allows you to connect your PS2
peripheral to a controller port and gain control. When you see
the numbered lights flashing, it means that your controller is
not yet synched. Press the PS button and your controller will be
synched up to the first available controller port. When you are
synched, you should see one light indicating which port you
have control over and your peripheral should be functional. Also,
if you hold down the PS Button for five seconds, you will enter
the PS3 onscreen controller menu.
N/GH2 Switch (normal/ Guitar Hero 2) - Set this switch to indicate what controller periph-
eral you are using. If you are using any type of controller (DualShock 2 controllers, wireless
controllers, guitars for Guitar Hero 1, steering wheels, arcade fighting sticks, dance mats) and
are NOT playing Guitar Hero 2, then set the switch to "N" for Normal. If you are playing Guitar
Hero 2, then set the switch to "GH2" for Guitar Hero 2. Always be sure that the switch is set
properly or else your controller may have undesired effects.
(3 lettered lights – M,R,L) - These lights are used to indicate which Guitar Hero 2 mode you are
in when playing Guitar Hero 2. The green "M" light indicates that you are in "Menu Mode". The
red "R" light indicates you are in "Righty Play Mode". The yellow "L" light indicates that you are
in "Lefty Play Mode". These modes are explained in the "Instructions for Guitar Hero 2 Play" on
the backside of this page.
Console Protection Guarantee
Pelican's Console Protection Guarantee assures you of Pelican's
commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The Protection
Guarantee warrants the connection (the plug port of the video
game console and the plug of the Pelican peripheral) between the peripheral and your
video game console system., i.e., that with the proper use of our peripheral (see manual)
we agree to replace or repair your video game system in the event that our peripheral
directly causes damage to your game console as a result of our peripheral failing to perform
properly. Circumstances that may cause our protection guarantee to take effect might be
one of the following: the video game console does not acknowledge a peripheral which has
been plugged in, the original peripheral fails to operate after using a Pelican peripheral, and
other non-pad peripherals fail to operate after using a Pelican peripheral. This protection
guarantee does not include the video game power supply, any part relating to the CD/DVD
load and read mechanism, internal operating system, nor the cabinet of the video game
system. This warranty will not apply if the Pelican peripheral is not used as directed in the
product manual enclosed. For further information or help, please contact us toll free at (800)

PS2® to PS3® Adapter
Troubleshooting
If you are having difficulties with your PS2 to PS3 Adapter, please refer below:
My controller is not functioning with the PS2 to PS3 Adapter.
- Check to verify that the controller is secure on the PS2 to PS3 adapter and that
the adapter is secure on the PS3.
- Make sure your controller is synched by pressing the Analog Mode button on
your controller or the PS button on the PS2 to PS3 Adapter. (Your controller
is synched when you see one of the numbered lights remain on. Flashing
numbered lights indicates that your controller has not yet been synched.)
- Check to see if the switch on the side is properly set. Set the switch to "N" if
you are playing on any controller except for a guitar for Guitar Hero 2. If you are
playing with a guitar for Guitar Hero 2, then set the switch to "GH2".
- Make sure that your controller is synched up to controller port one for one player
games. If you have other controllers synched before synching the one you are
using, you may not be synched up to controller port one
My controller is not synching up to a controller port.
- Check to verify that the controller is secure on the PS2 to PS3 adapter and that
the adapter is secure on the PS3.
- Press the Analog or Mode button on your controller while the lights are
flashing on the adapter to sync the controller to the PS3 controller port. You can
also press the PS button on the adapter if your controller does not have an
Analog or Mode button.
My lights are not flashing.
- Check to verify that the PS2 to PS3 adapter is secure on the PS3 and that the PS3
system is turned on.
I'm having problems playing Guitar Hero 2 with the adapter.
- Please refer to the section "Instructions for Guitar Hero 2 Play" on the backside of
this page and read it in its entirety.
The Sixaxis tilt functionality isn't working when I'm using the adapter.
- The Sixaxis functionality is not supported by PS2 controllers and therefore
cannot function for PS3 games. The PS2 to PS3 Adapter does support tilt func-
tional controllers but you must remember to keep the Sixaxis functionality
turned off on games that support a Sixaxis option.
