    Default PS1/2 to DC Pad Adapter

    Getting backing to playing/collecting DC games, but I'm finding it hard using the pad after all these months after using a PS1 Dual Shock on all my other systems. Anyone know of a decent adapter?

    I have an Innovation adapter that converts Saturn and PSX pads, as well as PS2 keyboards to the Dreamcast, and it is badass. I was looking for a Dreamcast gun the other day and saw a site selling a similar converter pretty cheap, but I can't seem to find it right now. I'll let you know if I see one.

    I just dug my original DC out of storage myself, even though the DC is one of my favorite systems I really haven't played much of it since Sega killed it back in the day, other than SF3. Tennis 2k2 (aka Virtua Tennis 2) is sooooo good!

    Does it support analog with the Saturn controller? The only Saturn adapters for the DC that I've seen were digital-only, which makes me sad.


    You just can't handle my jawusumness responces.

    That would be brillant, thank you! I would jump at the chance to use a Saturn pad on my DC!

    Nope, no analog on the Saturn end, just the PS1 end.

    In my searching, I found lots of "Total Control 2/3"'s that seem to be pretty common. It looks like one of them does Saturn pads, and the other PS2 pads, but neither do both.

    If you're using it for fighting games, Saturn pad is definitely best. It even maps the face buttons correctly for your 6 button fighters!

    Be sure the adapter you choose has a connection for the VMU. I'm not sure if they all do.

    Brillant, yeah, I'll be using it with 3rd Strike and some emulated fighters. I wonder how Power Stone would fare with it?

    I sadly do not have Powerstone to test it out on, I'll get it one of these days. I actually found one at a store over the weekend, but they wanted way too much for a beat up copy.
