The PS3 understands, accepts and responds to PS2 IR commands.
However, it does not have a built-in IR receiver.
And maybe not in the same breath, but definately the same paragraph:
The Nyko device
doesn't do anything except convert IR to USB.
So are you saying, that if you knew which of the USB terminals to solder a IR receiver to. You could just attach a receiver to the PS3 and have it accept PS2 codes...?
Or....
The Nyko device has a built in converter that "converts" Ir codes to a usable USB command.
Which one is it....?, because I'll tell ya if it's the former (that's the first one) you just stated that all the aftermarket devices out there are a waste of money, and aren't necessary if you're handy with a soldering iron and can afford a $2 IR receiver. Or you're agreeing with me that in fact the PS3 needs something to change the PS2 IR code set to something useful to work with. Make up your mind....
Stick with talking about Harmonys friend.
