While the button mapping is a bit odd, I would recommend getting the Total Control if you can find one. It doubles as a Saturn to DC controller adapter. Saturn Pad > PS2 SF Anniversary controller.

PSX Arcade Pads are best due to support on multiple consoles
Almost any console has some form of a PSX adapter. This saves on having to buy expensive Arcade controllers for different consoles. For clarity all three adapters on the previous page are for PSX controllers to play on a Dreamcast Console. Only the Innovation model has both Saturn and PSX ports, however the face buttons of noise's PSX Fighter Pad are not supported.

@ noise - Are the triggers for L2 and R2?

I have to agree with swiftzx. Total control 3 is def the best option. Nothing matches the precision that a saturn pad provides, not even those Nubytech SF controllers (I still love em though, have 2 of every model lol!). Besides, the TC3 converter provides saturn twin stick support.. that cannot be beat.

if you could just find something on my trade list so I could have that Ascii pad we wouldn't even have this thread!

I'm sorry. There isn't anything in your trades list that I must have and that's a fact. Much like yourself, I'm in need of funds to buy more DC items like Gunlord, Cotton, etc. Hell I haven't even been able to preorder Sturmwind due to lack of money and it drops the day after my BDAY!!! :( so please stop with guilt trip please. You of all people can understand...

Horrible. The dpad is almost as bad as the one on the 360 controller.
