PLAYSega USB Sega Saturn Pads: First Impressions

So far I'm glad that I haven't gotten any of these pads. I can buy stuff anywhere for a lot cheaper that will break.

Thanks for keeping me on target, guys.

get the SLS ones, man, I just ordered another one that happened to be listed super cheap at $13.99 with free shipping on eBay.

They aren't perfect, but they're the best out there.

ugh..i hate the look cheap, plasticy look of those pads. i bet they wont last too long.

judging from the picture alone, I would just go for the SLS pads on eBay that are claimed to be legit (whether they are or not). The quality is very good on these pads and they feel great. Best of all, they don't look like they gave them away in the happy meal at McDonalds.

they look like the retrolink knock-offs:



I mean, I'd give em a try if I had no choice, but the SLS pads are still out there and they are niiiccceeee.

I was tempted to get some, but I'm not too fond of the color choice, and I built a small adaptor which lets me use 2x any real Saturn controller on my PC - Sweeet

Do you sell those adapters?

[TmEE]

You need a PC with LPT port for the adaptor, and you need DirectPadPro driver to be installed, but i'm aftraid it won't work on Vista and 7.
I also need some dead Saturn mobo to steal the connectors from, or a Saturn controller which would get a connector change on one end, so you plug it to PC directly.

LPT port is total jawusumness, but sadly its history now...

I use my MD and Saturn controllers with PC over LPT port, and I could do same with NES, SNES, PSX and many other controllers.
