PS2 to PS3 Controller Adapter

Well, I'm finally a proud owner of a PS3 and I am lovin' it!

But I have a question regarding the PS2 to USB adapter. I have the following blue see-through adapter, like so:

From what I've been reading, this adapter should be working. But is this the case for pre 1.7 bioses? I have tried countless times with my 1.31 bios, but none of the buttons work. I would like to avoid updating unless I really have to.

Thanks in advance!

Anyways, if anyone is interested. When the above adapter is plugged into my computer, it is known as a "Dual USB Force Feedback Joypad (MP-8866)".

Heard alot of good things about the Elecom USB-PS2 adapter working with a variety of Joysticks/Misc Controllers made for PS2, being able to function as intended on the PS3. I bought a couple of the Radio Shack ones, and while the PS2 pads work flawless with the games I've tried so far, I couldn't get my other Hori Joysticks or Pelican sticks to work with it.

So I'm thinking these Elecom adapters are the way to go.
