hi,
i need a ps/2 adapter so i can connect every ps/2 keyboard or mouse to my dreamcast.
i found one on consolesandgadgets.co.uk
http://www.consolesandgadgets.co.uk/cat ... p-149.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but it only converts a keyboard.
does somebody know where i can buy one for a mouse.
the best way would be if i can create my own adapter. does someone have a tutorial?
thank you all!

aren't all ps/2 ports the same weather their purple or green? If you come up with a legit reason as to why you actually want to use a non DC brand mouse on your DC I could check for you.

Total Control 5 does mouse conversion, and is very small too. Picking up two of them for your netbook would probably be the best way to connect both a keyboard and mouse(you need one Total Control 5 for each device).
Physically, and electrically, yes. However, a mouse will not work in a keyboard port on most PCs, nor will it work in most adapters for keyboards on Dreamcast.stuntpenguin007 wrote:aren't all ps/2 ports the same weather their purple or green?
