I had a look in adverts but didn't see any,

anyone have an idea where to look and how much I should spend?

I'd prefer second hand and cheap, if anyone has any going spare I have a wanted ad in adverts, thanks. http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=224876&cat=500 Ignore the asking price, I'd go higher if thats the right value.

Gamestop or Game don't do controllers on the cheap do they? I'd like to get them soon enough.

Not sure if you know this or not but you can get non-nintendo brand Gamecube controllers for about 20/25 euro new in some shops. There is a 2nd hand game shop on talbot st in dublin that sells them (new, not second hand). I got mine about 3 years ago though.

GAME in The Square in Tallaght are selling 3rd party Gamecube controllers for 13 or 14 Euros.

Cool thanks.

I might keep after some second hand controllers for now, I was never a fan of third party peripherals.

You could get a new Nintendo one here http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-23-49-en-70-2ola.html

The Wavebird was the only 3rd party I feel that came close. Gonna need to get one of the new Nintendo ones soon, SSBM has made me go through about 5 or 6 controllers at this stage.

The wavebird was an official controller

OP definitely go for one of those white controllers, they look lovely. Or else you can always try ebay.

Hey guys, I got two GC controllers.

Tell me, is there any sort of voice chat in SSBB?

Given the wii is wireless and thats how I have it set up, will I have lag online in ssbB, should I get an ethernet adapter?

Thanks

I have one of the third party wireless controllers you can get in Game but I can't get it to work. Any ideas about what could be wrong? When I try to use it there's just a red light flashing on the controller and on the receiver but I can't get it working.

I wen't there twice (one of those times was last week) to look for a GC memory card. Last week the fella told me that there were none (again) because they were rare as they were from an old game console. And there he is selling dreamcast games! :mad:

EDIT: Is this game-exchange? That's where I'm talking about. I've never seen that retro place across the road. All there is there is chart-busters.

yeah that's the place, probably have to get them on ebay
