This would only work if the game was programmed to allow it as an option. If you plan on trying this with Resistance you may be out of luck- i don't believe this will work with a keyboard/ mouse combo. I've seen posts elsewhere talking about trying this with USB devices.

I tried the PS2 Max Shooter with a "PS2 to PS3" adapter and the game Resistance and it doesn't work.
The PS3 recognizes it but when i start to move my character starts to move and won't stop or starts to shoot and won't stop. It seems like it holds all the buttons down.

Is there a way to fix that?

Unfortunately you have run into what I thought may happen- the controller will not work properly with the adapter you are using. Right now none of the adapters out there will function properly with the PS3- you are going to have to stick with the SixAxis controller with this game.

There are PlayStation 2 controller- to- USB adapters available at places like Radio Shack. However, they don't work for using the PS2 controller on the PS3.

You may have better luck with an actual USB keyboard- as for the mouse that control option would have to be programmed into the game to work properly and there wouldn't be any games with that.

I tried the ps2-to-ps3 usb adapter that videogamecentral sells. A regular ps2 controller works with it. When I connect the "PS2 max shooter"(aslo purchased from videogamecentral) it recognizes it but does not function right on the game "Resistance".

Edit: Maybe other games will workwith the two adapters. I've only tested Resistance.

I think I found the solution for having the precision of a mouse for the game Resistance.
SplitFish has a new controller coming out called FragFX for the PS3

How well it would work still depends on if mouse control is programmed into the game. Resistance, to my knowledge, does not have it.
