Controller adapters?

o1s1n

I've been looking for reasonably price Saturn/Dreamcast controllers and have realized that it may be silly to go buying more arcade sticks. I already have lots already. Add them to the controllers and I'm eventually going to need a room just for them.

Does anyone know if you can get controller adapters? I'd love to use a Neo Geo stick with the Saturn for example.

Or even buy the Dreamcast Agetec stick and use it with all my consoles.

The only thing I can think of is to make a box that the Dreamcast stick goes into with a load of other console controller connectors coming out the other side. However this involves sacrificing pads and I really don't fancy wiring all that up.

Does something like this already exist? I don't think it does..does it? (Please tell me it does!)

I think the best you'll get is adaptors that only go one way, like this one for Saturn pads on a DC: http://www.4triangles.com/catalog/total-control-saturn-controller-to-dreamcast-adapter-p-97.html

This video might give you an idea:

You can then get converters that allow a few different controllers go to a USB port, like this: http://www.tmove.net/index.php/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,309/category_id,57/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,30/vmcchk,1/

The Total Control 3 is the only one I've been able to find myself alright!

What I think I'll do is get one of those Japanese Saturn Virtua Sticks and a Total Control 3 so I can use it in the Dreamcast.

Stumbled across the Virtual On twin stick while looking for one of these...want that too now!

Sounds like a good idea. I've never used Saturn pads or sticks, but the consensus is that they're better than DC equivalents, from what I've read.

Good luck finding a twin stick. I have VOOT for the DC, but it's difficult with the pad (IIRC). A mod *like* this might be in order, but since the DC has only one analogue stick, it's probably not possible: http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/24/modder-brings-virtual-ons-dual-sticks-to-the-xbox-360-on-the-ch/

Must dig it out again to see how difficult it is with the pad.
