PS/2 Keyboard to USB issues.

[cuttsj]

Hello everyone :)

I wanted to share my experience with using a PS/2 to USB joystick dongle, and some fixes I had discovered.

First off, I understand that my setup is rather old at this point, but I was determined to make sure it could still work. It uses a PS/2 out, but the Retropie 3 that I have only has USB.

So I first tried this little green dongle that didn't work very well.
The main issue I was having was that I couldn't input direction + button press. One or the other would cancel out the input, and nothing would happen.

I then tried this Monoprice PS/2 to USB converter adapter and so far it works great!

The issue I had before of the inputs cancelling each out out went away. I've attached some pictures of my setup and the cables used.

I had a difficult time finding a solution online. so hopefully this helps someone else out :).
