Anyone used one of these things?

My local retro shop carries them, and I'm kind of curious how well they work?

Terrible, worst adapter I have ever used. Mine has three seconds of lag on SNES controllers. NES works better, but still has a delay.

bummer. SNES support is what I was more interested in. Those ones from RetroUSB have been sold out for a while.

I had a memory that you had bought one, but couldn't find the post.

I would actually suggest getting the adapters sold on retrousb.com... they work the way you should expect them too... no lag whatsoever and simple. They also end in a male Gamecube controller plug so you can plug them directly into the console.

Oh. Hmm. The one I have is Wiimote based, not Gamecube based. Sorry mate I dont know. But I will say after tinkering with the one I have, I will not buy a Kamodo product again. Poorly made and no support - though I kinda expected the second one.

I recommend trying to find a Gtron 4 in 1 adapter. They are sold out on Amazon, but most people seem to like them.

Look up the Wii Retropad adapter. Its not cheap, but it does Saturn to Wii.


Noise, you could do a SNES to PS2 and PS2 to Gamecube...
