Sega Saturn controller PC/PS3(bootlegs?)

Thanks for the heads up on this.I just picked one up as well.

As someone who tried the authentic Saturn PC USB controller, I know it does not work with PS2 games like SFAC, SFAA, etc. When you load a PS2 game, you’re prompted to press the PS/Home button. You also need the button to load your virtual memory card.

It’s too bad he doesn’t sell bootleg PS2 Saturn controllers…

What Spiderjericho said ^^

is there a way to convert this controllers to ps2? maybe if someone have the real ps2 pad can take a shot from the inside. i buy 4 of this “real” saturn controller, i have two original ones, and they look like the real think.

Here is a picture of the pcb on the PS2 Saturn controller:

WARNING LARGE ASS PICTURE

Just bought myself a pair of them too!

Received mine in today.

I HIGHLY suggest anyone who’s stick-shy or is used to play with controllers to get one of these before they jack up the price even more. This is the best controller I’ve played with on the PC aside from my PS2 saturn pad with Convertor, which is essantially the same thing, i know.

I’m going to order 2 more just for the hell of it.

^ Smart. I ordered a bunch too lol.

gotta agree with everyone here.

i got mine today. i’m not used to playing on a controller anymore, but these are solid. everybody should pick some up if they can.

Mine just shipped, tracking number included. They were very nice about the whole process.

Looking forward to it. Since I already own a USB Saturn pad, I wonder how these will differ. My USB’s one is still pretty new, and you can tell the difference between new and used Saturn pads pretty much right away.

interesting e-mail i got from ncs

"Hi ____, we haven’t received the pads that we ordered yet but if they are good quality and if we’re able to procure a few thousand units, we’ll offer them to our customers at the same price that the Hong Kong sellers are selling them for. We also sent a few emails to the Ebay vendors but they haven’t responded yet. We checked with our own Hong Kong vendors but no one in the traditional Hong Kong distribution base has even seen these available for sale from any of the established suppliers from China or Hong Kong.

This is an interesting product but we are puzzled by the lack of availability from the normal Hong Kong and China-based suppliers. Thanks for bringing them to our attention."

Will these work with linux?

I ordered one yesterday. I love the Saturn pad so I can’t refuse. I use a Saturn to Xbox to USB adapter on my PC, but this will be simpler.

Got my friend to order 4 (2 each), hope this works out fine.

If it does, I’ll paint mine green :stuck_out_tongue:

MarkMan, you and I need to kill each other or something. Us old phucks buy too many controller/joystick related shit. I just bought 4 even though I have lost all my pad skills. Wonder if I should get more for Christmas presents.

Dude Jimmy, GOOD idea… Christmas presents!

lolol

They’re out of stock there though.

I use this in conjunction with an Xbox-USB adapter:

Sold out though. Bought it from someone here at SRK a couple months ago.
