I find that if you make controller 1-4 in the PS2 game to controllers 1,3,5,7 on the PS3, then it works out in some games.

I ran into this same problem. All 4 will work.

Easy fix, you have to reassign the controllers as 1, 3, 5, and 7. Or 1/1-A, 1B, 1C, and 1D.

do that and all 4 will work in game. Dunno why, but that’s how me and my bro-in-law got it to work with that exact same game.

I never really got into 4 player games on the ps2. So few games supported it (since you needed a multi-tap addon to even be able to have 4 players).

As for backwards compatibility. For a software solution to support almost all psone games, and over 1200 ps2 titles is far from bad backwards compatibility. With the huge number of games, there are bound to be a few issues that slip through the cracks.
