Wireless controlers

[IUnNamedI]

any one seen one for the dreamcast? i have not... did sega ever get around to designing one? if not that is a total must do....

[nate9999]

If one doesn't exist, I wonder if one can be easily made just using some parts from an Xbox or PS2 controller.

[IUnNamedI]

It would probably be easier then you would think but lets get a professional opinions here...

I NEVER saw wireless controllers for Dreamcast

Try HERE (http://www.consolesandgadgets.co.uk/catalog/wireless-controller-p-35.html)

The pad looks like a third party Saturn pad, and there is NO analogue

bah but it would work for all emu games ... hmmm i may look into that...

This is IR, not RF, i tried one out way back in the days. It works, but you'll have to be in front of the receiver, otherwise it loses signal... (it's an exact replica of the Saturn version) If someone could just produce it with RF!

It also has replacement d-pad pieces to slap on and has no rumble support...
(think it's made by Treamcast)

Messiah Entertainment are the guys who have a good shot at making good quality wireless DC controllers.

Their wireless 2.4GHz SNES and NES controllers are equivalent to the the wavebird in greatness.

In fact they mention on there site that they are always considering the creation of one.

Is Messiah planning on making Wireless Dreamcast Controllers? (http://www.playmessiah.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticl eid=805)

The basic answer says, is that if they get enough emails requesting it they will make a pair. So everyone who reads this, do all DC fans a favor and shoot em a email! And pass along the message!
