wow thanks omega. Ive checked there every day since i started this post. And to be honest wouldnt of checked there again as id given up on play asia. I also checked there last night and no joy. Ive just ordered a controller. I may buy this one off ebay so ive got a backup. The guy thats selling it seems really nice and is being quite helpfull too. Besides heads up sounds like a laff

Hopefully they havent "over sold" their controllers yet id die if i didnt get one now lol.
Ronji thanks for googling for me

yes it is "porto pi" my bad

. Also its a 3 white 2 blue button layout (or maybe the other way round) if i remember correctly so im assuming its one of the originals. i will if i get the chance give them a call and find out. Ive got a couple of friends that speak spanish so that might help.
Im not sure where im going to go from here. Ive got a couple of weeks till her birthday and im pretty handy with wood and electronics (i like hacking/modding). so im still thinking of making a full size arcade console. Im just wondering if its possible to mash the 5 button controller i have with a regular ps2 joypad and make it into a 5 button one. Has anyone ever tried this ?
Like i said ive got the ps2 + discs now controllers on the way. ive got a cheap flat screen monitor i could use. Does the ps2 connect straight into a crt/lcd??
thanks again guys u rox
