Post by nickfil »

just got the dreamcast Agetec Joystick on ebay mostly due to its high praise here at racketboy.

I can not wait to get this guy in the mail to play some rival schools and Ikaruga!

I've been seeing those on ebay, but for the price I figure I'll just find a good deal on a duel x arcade and grab a dreamcast hookup through the actual company.

I'll wait to hear about how you like it.

I must admit, this topic's name made me raise an eyebrow.

joystick takes a little getting used to but it feels more accurate when trying to pull off moves.

couldn't have said it better. Admittedly i am a button masher at panicked times, so this is probably a good thing for me to get used to. Too bad the AI in marvel vs capcom 2 is so crazy hard because of all the hours i put into it. Changing up the controller gives the computer enough of and edge to crush me pretty consistently.

The hardware feels like it is a lot higher quality than what I am used to with 10 dollar used xbox sticks.
