Does anybody know where I can purchase an adaptor so I can use my Saturn pads on my dreamcast?
I bought one years ago at a car boot sale but I could do with another, but I just cant find anything (lots of DC to PS converts but no Saturn to DC)?
Any help would be much apreciated?
I'm sure you could wire the Saturn controller into the Dreamcast controller yourself. I've seen Saturn controllers wired into Xbox 360 controllers.
im sure no one wants top fittle with wires. ive tried my hardest to find the thing for youy but all ive found is this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sega-Saturn-Twin...QQcmdZViewItem
i remember readin about this adaptor 6 years ago in the ODCM magazine when sum1 asked "are the twin sticks ever coming"
http://www.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad...m/d_sstodc.htm
here i found this for only 22 bux or so.. thats all i could get in a few hours of searching.
Another option: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-h5-49-en-70-46.html
Doing your own adapter like the SS->Xbox one (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.p...=165&p=3546461) is not worth it unless you are looking for a nice electronics project :)
all i could really find henz was the SS-XBX project. google is flooded with it.. but qat this point in terms of gen who wants an SS controller on an X-Box?? and couldnt u use say a PS2 to XBX adaptor in conjuction with an SS to PS adaptor?
I have a all in one saturn, PSX/PS2, and DC converter for my Xbox. Its called the magic box controller adapter. They also have them for the PC. I have both and both work really good, except for the DC analog stick which is really twitchy. Btw, just bought the total control 3 adapter for my DC yesterday. :) Those things can be hard to find so if u want one go buy one at play-asia right now!Quote:

Thanks for the feedback peeps.
I didnt really fancy taking a contoller apart to make it work, but I've since found what I wanted on ebay! :)
I managed to pick up an 'Innovation' DC adaptor for $10 that supports PS1, PS2 and Sega Saturn pads... plus I can also still use the VMU units with it!
I would have purchased the ones listed in this thread from Playasia, but unfortunetly they dont ship to the UK (god I miss Liksang). :(
The whole reason I wanted my Saturn pads to work on my DC is cause I think the official SS pad layout with the 6 buttons is simply the best for Vs fighting games! I know there have been lots of pads out for various consoles that look simliar to the SS one, but for me none can match the Saturn pads for doing moves on 'Super Street fighter 2 turbo X', 'Marvel Vs Cacpom 2' etc. :)
yes they do, i preorderd last hope of them. i think its just psp stuff the don't ship to the uk.Quote:

Thanks for the info. :D
why not the sony psp?
and im glad u found sumthin. most ppl want the DC/SS so they can use the twin sticks for VOOT, etc.
skipping all of that maybe the Treamcast controller should had been ur 1st choice

'course if u had ur old skool SS pads ud want to put them to use. when u start playing tell me how the SS pad converts all the DC's buttons, triggers, analog, etc.
i also cant help but wonder what this would do on a regular DC

u don't compensate. u can really only play the games that don't need those extra bottons and secound anolog.Quote:

The bottom first 2 are for the PC one, the middle one is the cheapest btw. and the only place I found that still had the Xbox version on their site was play -asia which is the bottom link. but its sold out :(
I should know waht that does since I own 3 Treamcasts. Does the same as it wouild on a Treamcast. Plays s-vcds, vcds, and mp3 like it says it does.Quote:

Yeah but the first original Saturn d-pad doesn't really feel like a d-pad. And I don't like d-pads that much either. that y I wan't more anolog support on emulators and homebrew stuff for Dreamcast. Yes, yes, it may be easier to program the d-pad but that doesn't excuse it dammit :mad:Quote:

SegaGen has Anolog support, button configuration, etc. Not only that but the GameShark and CodeBreaker codes that was made for the roms on Sega Smash Pack. Yes it may be an illegal emulator, its still better :)Quote:
