Multi format arcade stick - options?

[analogmonkey]

I'm just wondering what are the best options for a multi format arcade stick these days. Nes, Snes, PC Engine, MD, PC etc.

I bought a MadCatz Te stick and TE kitty modding boards a few years back and never got around to installing them.

Are these still the best options or is there a better option now, i've been out of the scene for while so just looking for some feedback really.

Cheers

Simple? Make it PlayStation 2 through a sixaxis. Wired & wireless.

Ya, MC Cthulhu is tested and truly the best (IMO) for what it does. No personal experience, just it was and is the best solution with price for every related forum help topic for this spciffic need.

Next step, and what I plan to have fun messing with involves some new hardware that I don't have all of yet.
There's some crazy configurable stuff happening with controller interfaces that is available right now, but I still don't have to play with. It is painful that I will need to wait until I can play around with them when I get back home from work. My friend with the other half wants to merge them all too.

So here's some insanely specific hardware I've never seen combined, but should be - kinda like a Rosetta stone for controllers:

ChronusMAX - Does what it says. The list is large, but wireless independent of console is one ability. The software allows redirection of all controls through simple or scripted advanced configuration. Universal modern wireless controller support. universal USB output configurable to make any controller work on any modern console or computer.

Bliss Box - *any* retro controller (growing list, but you'd be hard pressed to buy an unsupported 3rd party or other controller that can't be interfaced) will be converted to standard PC HID controller. Full support of all analogs,and all pressure sensitive controls are configurable and supported.

Just these two should be able to be chained to make any modern console or desktop computer fully enjoying every controllers' support.

I was going somewhere with Bluetooth and programs. lost train of thought and tired.
There's some other software and software redirects I intend to use on test harware.

I haven't used one but I have heard good things. http://www.thesupergun.com/electrical/b ... -findings/

I have the Brook PS3 to Xbox One adapter and it works great. I did have a bit of trouble with the firmware update. More on that here: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 8#p1024498

Wow, that looks amazing. The price seems a little steep at first, but if I add up all of the money I've invested on specific adapters over the years it doesn't seem to bad. $10 on a PS1 adapter, $30 on a Genesis adapter, $15 on a n64 adapter, etc... plus, having them all bundled into one, unified adapter actually seems pretty cool.

Thanks for the heads up on that.
