everything i see seems to no longer be available - sure i could buy a usb pad but i have a fine saturn pad that i know isnt a bootleg so i’d rather use that - thanks in advance !
Magic Box was available a few years ago but it’s hard to find now.
It was a USB converter primarily for PC/Mac. It let you use PS2, Dreamcast, or Saturn controllers (but not all at once). Worked really nice for both MAME and SNESx.
I tried using mine on the PS3 but it had mixed results.
The PS2 Saturn pad worked fine and the buttons were coordinated as they should have been but the Sega Saturn pad had poor registration with the D-pad and the buttons were all messed up. The Start button on the Saturn pad didn’t work at all!
Other than this, I can’t think of another suitable converter… Frankly, based on my experience, I wouldn’t bother with this on a PS3. Either mod the Saturn pad to use it on PS2 as several people already have, or get a PS3 fighting pad.
Your cheapest option is to buy one of the bootleg USB pads and swap out the case/buttons with your real Saturn pad.
Like he said, the Saturn-USB converter is rare at this point and doesn’t work well with the PS3. You can try to find a Saturn PS2 controller which are stupid expensive, or mod your existing pad for another system which may be more work than you’re after.
i think u can buy this one,

, it has one nice pad that just like saturn pad
Why not just get a real USB saturn pad? Or are they harder to find, mine could be swapped for the black saturn shell easily.
