Saturn PC Controller
 

Okay, I've had enough. PC controllers suck ass. I'm a console gamer, but even I like an occasional romp through a PC title here and there, and cheap-ass third party controllers are just rank for PC. I want my Sega Saturn controller on my PC. I know Sega produced a look alike for PCs a year or so ago, but the d-pad on those things is supposed to be stiff, which kills the whole draw of the pad.

Anybody own any good third party adapters to let me use an original Saturn pad on PC? What are the best (most reliable) ones?

Honestly, I don't think there is one for Saturn. I've seen the ones for Cube/PS2/X-box and SNES but never one for Saturn. I've pretty much given up on trying to use controllers on my PC. I got one that came with MegaMan X PC back in the day but it's not USB and my current computer doesn't have a port for it.

I have the Saturn USB pad, and I thought the d-pad on it was pretty good. Then again, I've only played Puyo Puyo on it so far, so I'm not sure how well it works with more d-pad-heavy games such as fighting games.

But if you're looking for an adapter to use Saturn pads on the PC, this is the only one I know of. I haven't seen many reviews for it, but all of them have been positive so far. I'm not sure how much ZTNet's shipping is, but it might be a little cheaper overall at Play-Asia.

Cool. I just snagged one on ebay. Saturn was the greatest fighting pad ever made. Trust me, if I could use it with all modern fighters, I would in a heartbeat. It can handle everything from basic Street Fighter II, to DOA4, Virtua Fighter 5, and Soul Calibur III. There just isn't a better fighting controller.

Thanks for the help Krang. :)

Should have just got one of the street fighter controllers for PS2 and the PS2 adaper :lol: the SF Controllers are shaped like the Saturn ones, and feel just about as comfortable.

Plus then you culd have had chun li.
