Sega Saturn controller PC/PS3(bootlegs?)

Good thing I bought 2 while they were still at $30 a pair. I already had a USB pad as well.

Time to sell them in a few months for $100 each. HIGH FIVE CHINA.

My curiosity cannot be contained, now I badly want to find out where these came from. There HAS to be an interesting story behind this.

they must be fake. but the guy probably had original factory specs and maybe even the factory that made them. like ncsx said, they arent fake, but i still think they have to be, due to shear volume. regardless they have been confirmed to be exactly like the original. hell, they have made fake watches better than originals… im sure they can make a fake gamepad, its their livelihood.

Wow. So these are legit? Haha. That’s awesome. I just got mine but I wish I bought another one. Only paid $20 with shipping.

maybe they had a company before and they went out of business. So, now they’re reselling their inventory on ebay.

Lik Sang supposedly had a shitload of stuff in their warehouse, including USB Saturn pads, when they went out of business. Maybe somebody got ahold of them and is selling them.

I just bought two of the grey ones. Is there any difference between hte different colors besides the colors?

Just wondering what you’re going to do with 5 controllers?

Probably resell? I was tempted to buy more than 1 since it was obvious the price would go up, but c’mon guys, 5? Realistically no one needs more than 2. I know a lot of the demand was due to wanting to resell. You’re allowed to do this of course, but some people seem to have been late to the party and now have to buy higher prices because of people buying more than they need.

Resell it 5 years later at a higher price.

Yeah, I bought two just in time for $38 shipped before they started wildin’ on the prices. A few days later, the damn grey ones start popping up. I would’ve easily waitied for those instead had I known they were made in various colors.

But then I would’ve been stuck with those prices. $79 before shipping for two pads is not a good look :bluu:

In fairness, it’s still cheaper than buying a DS3/Sixaxis, and that pad’s d-pad is pretty crap for fighting games.

I have 3 brothers scattered around the nation and Street Fighter was the game of our youth. We used to have parties with SNES SF2 growing up. Once we got a Saturn we used to play SFA, COTA, Darkstalkers 2, etc. like mad, and now with 2df and GGPO we can jam out to that and HD Remix/SF4 online.

I’m not reselling these, EVER. When I bought them at 20 a pop, they might have been bootlegs, but all that mattered is that they felt good because all five are going to be very well used. I scrapped like hell for my PS2 pad and I wasn’t going to let it happen again.

But now that I think about it, before I start distributing them to my bros I may have to use those 5 + my PS2 pad for a wild night of my copies of Saturn Bomberman and Six Man Scramble if they work on Saturn emulators, and I have no clue if they do.

I specified that I wanted black and got the following response from the seller:

“black color is temporary out of stock
we will try to get more in about 3 days”

Based on his response (Like I posted on shmups.com), if the seller can just get more it would go against the “new old stock” theory…

Oh wow, here’s something interesting. I have confirmed that the seller is the infamous “jeffma.”

For those familiar with dreamcast scene. Jeffma was the first to release multi-game dreamcast images back in the day. The 4-1 shooter pack comes to mind which had Ikaruga, Psyvariar 2, Zero Gunner 2, and Border Down. He also made a 8-1 puzzle disc and another with 3 or 4 Street Fighters…

I’m going to e-mail him back and see what’s the story with these pads.

How to make your own saturn usb pad.

How about making a PS2 Saturn Pad…

^been there, done that. as of current, ps2, xbox360, dreamcast, pc. hoping to for xbox sooner or later. but no pad meets the requirement of both money and specs that I have left over so no. not that it would really matter since I anything I have on modded xbox can be play with ps2 or pc.

Any kind soul would sell me one of their white ones? I tried buying from the seller, he says they are out of stock now. :frowning:

I just ordered 3 black ones from user “wiilite” i believe.
