Are Neo Geo Controllers compatible with Wii Mayflash?

Post by Nyukki »

Could someone who has the above please check if either a Neo Geo AES stick or NGCD pad are compatible with the Mayflash SNES/NES adaptor for Wii? The Mayflash uses a 9 pin famicom port, which I've heard is the same as the AES and NGCD use, correct? I don't have any Neo Geo stuff so can't test myself.

Thanks

The plug for NG controllers is the same as the Famicom extra port which is 15 pin, not 9. But even then the controllers work differently and the +5 volts doesn't even go down the same line if one were to try and directly compare NG sticks to Famicom extra controllers. So no they won't work and you might actually harm them if you plugged a NG controller into a Famicom or vice versa.

Wow, good to know, thanks.

Also, thanks for chiming in with that knowledge when you did. Would hate it if someone damaged their hardware trying to help me.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to suck it up and buy a Neo Geo.
