Can the PS2 be programmed to interface with any kind of USB devices (such as Digital TV receivers) or can only handle Mouse and Keyboard USB ?

Thnx

It will handle any kind of USB device YOU program it to handle. The SDK just provides code for keyboards, mice, and USB sticks. Remember that it is only USB 1, so high speed devices won't be high speed.

Thank you for the reply. Does the "homebrew" development kit available at PS2DEV support the USB programming?

Why don't you set it up and look for yourself? Are you a developer, or aren't you?

Windows developer, yes. Not yet for PS2 :-)
I´ll set it up.

Once you do, just look at the code for the USB mass storage driver, the mouse, and keyboard. That should be enough to get you going. There's a reason all that stuff is open source. ;)

You can program it to use or it should read most usb keyboards.

Has anyone implemented anything using a numeric keypad instead of a keyboard? If so, does the keyboard driver work 'as is'?
