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.

Yeah, get a total control plus 3 for Saturn to Dreamcast. Gawd that Saturn controller for fighters is amazing!!!

PSX Arcade Pads are best due to support on multiple consolesnoiseredux wrote:understood. But I already won a PS2 pad.

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?

Re: How does a PS2-->DC controller adapter map the buttons?
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!CD AGES wrote:I have to agree with swiftzx. Total control 3 is def the best option.

Re: How does a PS2-->DC controller adapter map the buttons?
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.noiseredux wrote:anyone tried one of these?
