A good alternative to the Hori Pad for GB Player?

OH! i guess the photo is just wrong. Didn't look like it would fit a cube slot. Good idea about just using the GBA .. i already have one of those cables!

no it's not. He sent you the wrong link. There is one for GC...

though I can't vouch for the quality. I"ve never used one. Certainly it looks nice. I think if it were me I"d go with Pellican, a company whose products I've used since the prices are about the same.

Or you could try this Chinese gadget.

Stay away from that Chinese gadget. Terrible input lag on SNES controllers.

I'm glad you pointed that out! One of my locals has this thing brand new for like $25 and I've eyeballed it a couple of times...

I bought it after following it for over a year - big disappointment. The RetroUSB ones seem to work a whole lot better. I just havent found a controller I really like for the Gameboy Player yet. Ive been told that a SNES adapter and a Commander controller is probably the best for me, but when you price it out, it is the same price to buy a Horipad... This is on my list of things I want to figure out this year.

Looking for something cheaper

Hori digital pads are a fair bit cheaper at Yahoo Japan Auctions. I was bidding on several JA GBA carts through the proxy service FromJapan, and adding a Hori for $30-some dollars had a negligible effect on shipping.

Although I haven't tried any alternatives, I can easily say this pad is a huge improvement over GB Player'ing with the standard GC controller.
