PSone controllers on PS2

Which PSone controllers are forward compatible with the PS2? I already know that the Namco Guncon won’t work. What else?

Its’ been my experience that ps 1 controllers work fine with ps 1 games on the ps2 but not on ps2 games. And i’ve also found that on some ps 1 games the ps2 controller is a little fast or rather has incorrect handling of some ps 1 games but NOT all. But most games for the ps 2(all that i have) do not work with the ps 1 controller. So keep at least one ps 1 controller for yourself for ps 1 games on the ps 2. Lotsa great games on ps 2 out there, enjoy.Also KEEP a ps 1 memory card if you have one, ps 2 will not save ps 1 games on a ps 2 memory card.But your ps 2 will handle your ps 1 memory card just like your ps 1 in SLOT 1(that is my experience with SONY memory cards).

Well said Beignets2003, regarding memory cards. In my experience the controller issue is less cut and dried. I have several PS2 games that work with  a PS1 controller including Tiger Woods 2008 which is quite sensitive and only a
few months old. (I spent a week using a PS1 controller with my PS2 when my original PS2 controller stopped performing, some games do work but by no means all). You should check the spec on your TV and the lightgun before purchasing. Many televisions of over 60hz and some of high definition will not accept them. Obviously there must be some out there or manufacturers will be losing business.
Games I’m loving…Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Digital Devil 2, Ico, Okami, Half-Life. What are your current distractions?
