Try an ASCII?

Never got to much experience with a stick between the NES Advantage and the Saturn Virtua Stick.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

FYI, Super Advantage is actually made by Ascii. My vote still goes to the Capcom stick for best balance of quality and price.

Many newer ones are because they use discrete buttons. However if the stick uses rubber dome switches that are all on 1 circuit board in a shallow stick you'd have a lot of work to mod them.

The sad thing is that the Advantage is too.

Indeed. If you get both cables you can use it with a NES as well. There is also a pale version for Genesis.

As for that black Ascii stick that was linked, I have the Genesis version of that and it works fine for shmups IMHO, but I couldn't say for fighting games. Those are pretty cheap though so it could be worth getting one to try.
