Using an IR remote with your PS3: Ugly but nifty |
Ó
AV centric folks have a very understandable complaint about the PS3: why no IR receiver? Well, if you're one that chooses to ignore Sony's Bluetooth remote, and you're obstinate about using that costly IR remote, then you're probably going to want to read this post.
The folks at Remote Central has a workaround that will allow you to add infrared functionality to your big black console. You're going to need a PSX/PS2 Controller-to-USB adapter as well as an original Sony DVD remote for the PS2 (model SCPH-10172) with external IR receiver (model SCPH-10160).
It's going to be pretty ugly, but if you can live with that, and if you don't want to spend for the Bluetooth remote, then the resulting USB to adapter to IR receiver to IR remote workaround might just be for you.
For more detail on this solution, feel free to make use of your read-link below.

yeah late! already using something like this when the ps3 arrived here nov. 11, 2006. not just the ps2 remote but anything the ps2 supports runs with the pc-usb/ps2 adaptor. even ddr dance pads, beatmania controllers etc.
I've got those exact two items. THo.. I used the usb adapter for emulators on my PC.
...for people who own a PS2 (with the IR receiver). Cause these USB-PS2 adapters cost nearly nothing. Placed next to the PS3 or a bit behind it won't be that ugly I guess. But I'm pretty sure the PS3's controllers will make the same job. Like it was with the PS2. By the way: does anybody know, if the PS3 also works with other Bluetooth devices? Sony Ericcson cells for example have a remote option included. Would be cool to control the PS3 with these.
