god damn almost $500 for just the shipping on this one O.O


That is freaking sweet though, I would love to find one at a reasonable cost.

i think that controller would only work if your girlfriend plays games with you dunno if i wish to cuddle with my guy friends :lol: seems you have to sit awefully close to each other id rather have 2 of the one i just ordered for a quarter of the price lol and then you can sit wherever the hell you want


The controller is almost 1 to 1 with the panel in an Astro City cab. The only difference that I know of is that it is made of cheaper plastic and has no metal inlay. If you can get a HSS-0130 for under $300, consider it a great buy. Ive been meaning to just make my own, using wood and a Astro City CP metal inlay, but the Saturn hasnt been big at my house recently.

The stick you did buy is the one I bought for the Saturn for shooters and Guardian Heroes. It works fantastically. The only issue is that if you ever have an internal problem, you have to tear off the front sticker to get at the screws, and I really like the sticker. I have had two of them, the first one died after many years of heavy use. The current one is still used when we play shooters, but it is currently ontop of a CRT on my desk next to my Hori 360 stick for Jamestown.

As for Saturn to Dreamcast, buy a Total Control 3 off of ebay. It is the best adapter for it.

And the VF stick is ok, but the three buttons limits you to STV ports and a handful of other titles. Now that does mean there are alot of great games to play, but youll be far more happy with the stick you bought.

so today it came in the mail and let me tell you it looks even better in person this thing is MINT the only flaw i could find is that it kinda smells really bad lol. it reminds me of my dads boat the storage room at the bottom of the boat hopefully airing it out will get rid of the smell. must of been where they were storing it. this is an awesome stick, the microswitches are a bit loud though not too much of a problem as i do most of my gaming with headphones on. one other thing the cord is really short, or maybe im just used to american 10 foot long controller cords, gonna have to pick up some saturn cord extenders. also donpachi and my total control 3 arrived so i can play the saturn controller on the DC which is good because i hate the dc controller. was a good mail monday.
