    Can someone recommend a good PS1/PS2 Arcade Stick and a good PS1/PS2 Steering wheel? I have Namco Museum Vol. 3 and after just playing Ms. Pac-Man and Dig Dug with a partially broken PS2 Dualshock 2 controller, I really need something more precise for arcade games. I also have Gran Turismo 2 and would like a good steering wheel as both of mine are not working perfectly anymore. Any help would be highly appreciated!

    I have a Namco PlayStation PS1 arcade stick that is well made and it's a decent stick, also compatible with PS2. There's a couple out on eBay. Dark grey with yellow stick and buttons. I'd provide links, but I'm on my phone.

    As for a wheel ... sorry, can't recommend one. Hopefully some one else can.

    HORI makes very good arcade sticks. I have a couple for my SUPERGUN ... ported for NEO GEO. HORI did make sticks for the PS1. Some on eBay as well.

    I just checked eBay and they seem to be pricey. I found an Asciiware PlayStation stick for much cheaper but I can't afford it atm.

    you wanted a good one, not a cheap one. I'd also recommend the namco stick, it's components mimic the seimitsu/sanwa sticks, although cheaper in quality.

    I have an awesome PS2 stick that I bought recently, but I don't remember the brand.

    I'll report once I get back home.

    Good cheap PS2/PS3/360/PC ones are also sold by Acteck (of which I own two) in Mexico.

    These are common, cheap, and rather comfortable, but sometimes a bitch to get recognised by the system. Maybe you can import from Mexico?

    The PS2 arcade stick I have at home is actually a PSX arcade stick, called "PS Arcade", by Interact.

    It's this one on the link:

    http://cdn23.atwikiimg.com/ac_stick/?plugin=ref&serial=589

    I find it very comfortable and clicky enough. At least, I can play R-Type Final and other shooters and fighting games without much problem (though getting some of the moves on Hokuto no Ken is a bit harder than I'm used to - and I keep getting my arse handed to me on Melty Blood. I won't blame the stick; I'm getting old)
