    Anyone out there with a Megadrive pad they can bring?

    Unfortunately I only have a pad an an arcade stick here. The rest are out in Bray. Would love to play some four player Micro Machines on the Nomad for the craic.

    One person can use the Nomad controls.
    One controller can plug into the Nomad.
    The Micro Machine J cart can take two more pads. So the arcade stick can go in there, but I'll need another pad!

    And I swear to god, if one of you says 'just bring a DS, it will be easier for multiplayer' I'll stab you :pac:

    I'm sorry. I own them all but just never played them for any lenght of time. Only decided a few weeks ago to concentrate on them and started with the first (well the prettier version).

    Ah just bring one anyways, I think you can auto level your pokémon for multiplayer so it would be fair :)
