Picked up a Gamecube kiosk last week. Still need to find a nice old CRT, but used this small LCD for now to test it out. It came with 2x Demo Disks and everything seems to work perfectly.

Very, very cool. May I ask how much you got it for?

Sure...it was $200. It came with 2 games and 2 Demo Disks. I figured the demo disks make about 1/2 that back according to what I have seen...the games were common. I had to drive an hour in a snow storm to pick it up and it came completely disassembled and took a while to put back together. It was also heavy as hell!

Do you have it set up in an office or at your work or something?

My find today will make CRT proud lol.

This location has what has to be at least 100 various ps1 controllers along one wall, I am serious, it takes up like a good 10 foot section of space, just various ps1 controllers. Curious to see if I could score one of the oh so coveted "Dual Analogue" controllers that was recently discussed in this thread I start to browse. Out of nowhere bam! there one was staring me right in the face hanging on the shelf $4.99! Sold!

Still looking for my free controller I spot an Interact Barracuda 2, which I believe has the same dual analogue functionality as the other controller (using both analogues as dpads).

For some reason I don't think the seller knew there was anything unique on either of these two very good controllers!

The Barracuda 1 and 2 are the analog controllers that have the "Tank Control Fix" on older Dpad games such as Resident Evil. The Dual Analog does not but it is very uncommon, has the exclusive longer hand grips and the unique third green light mode for the PS1 Flightstick games. I really love the dished in centers of the analog sticks of both these controllers.

Great finds on the PS1 controllers. With 100 to pick from, I'm curious what other models were passed up such as maybe the 1st edition Barracuda? Maybe a post a pic of that wall of drooling?

That is wild, Tengen Tetris as portable gaming! Congrats again on that really great find!

For Wii Nights maybe also look into a Mayflash Playstation Controller adapter. The game really shines with the smooth PSX analog stick rotation versus the Nunchuck or Wii Classic Controller.

When testing the Dual analogue controller last night with various games I got interesting results. First I realized that it does not have the dual d-pad functionality, no big deal. With Rayman, when you turn on the analogue it stops responding all together, with Mega Man x5 it works like normal, with Chrono Cross the left stick allows you to move like normal, while the right stick causes you to spin in place. Strange that 3 different games gave 3 different results.

The store with all of the controllers does not price any of the old controllers like that any differently, and to most people, they would never see the difference in the dual analogue over the dualshock. I searched through the wall pretty carefully and didnt see anything else worth taking, 80% of the controllers were standard non analogue psx pads. As for the barracuda 1, I saw one the other day at another of my spots I go to, but after holding it, could bear to purchase it, a terrible design IMO. I could pick it up if you wanted another though, it was $4.99 also.
