PCSX2 and game pads

Before i bought my Asus Transformer Book, my computer had a hard time emulating PlayStation2, and the emulator lagged when rendering simple things like in-game movies, even with a couple of aggressive tweaks installed. Now with my new PC, this is not a problem, which is really nice! :D

My smartphone emulating Spyro and the Ipega PG-9025

Not to confuse, this post is about emulating, while my previous post was to connect an actual console to a battery powered screen :)
I'm emulating PlayStation2 with a piece of software called PCSX2. Programs like this does the same things as a real console, in this case PlayStation2. With this emulator, it's possible to run games from a local disk, and it's even possible to run games from a DVD-drive. I don't like DVDs and discs in general, so I'm using a local copy :D
The local copy is stored on the disk as an ISO file, which is the complete game disc, all saved into one file, making it easier to manage. When the game is selected and loaded, it just boots up the game, and there you go!
I don't feel like using a keyboard when playing emulators like this, because it's uncomfortable to control analogs with buttons, and on top of that, it's just not the same as using a game pad.

My 3 favorite game pads are:
Ipega PG-9025
Sony PlayStation2/3 controller
Ipega PG-9017

The first named Ipega controller is a very nice alternative for a real PlayStation controller, because it has both L1, L2 and L3 (and the R buttons as well :P), real analogs unlike the Ipega PG-9017; it's wireless (bluetooth), and its weight and size is much more like a PlayStation controller than the other very lightweight Ipega controller. Further more, it's very easy to connect to both PC and android devices, and it has a telescopic holder for smartphones!
Next comes the Sony PlayStation2 controller, because it's the original intended controller. However, it requires an adapter to work, it's not wireless, and it only supports vibration by an external power source. PlayStation3 controllers is available wireless, but even though this is bluetooth, I haven't been able to find any drivers out there working properly. Every driver I've tried out have occupied my active bluetooth adapter completely, so nothing else was able to run on the adapter :( But it works fine wired (at least sometimes :P), and it supports vibration by internal battery!
Last; the Ipega PG-9017. It's a very small game pad, and it lacks the L2 and L3 buttons (and R buttons). But it's easy to connect to both PCs and smartphones, and I think that it's a nice option to be able to play games wireless. Maybe that's the only reason this controller is on my top 3. :P
