Buying this:

Anyone used it? its like £5 brand new in maplins, has a reasonable d pad and buttong layout will be okay.... a 6 button saturn pad would be perfect but I can't justify the cost.

Don't expact you could achieve anything with that pad.

Be perpared for buttons pressed and got no response or pressed button does not go up for seconds after lightly use.

It should be a great pad to gut for making your own USB joystick though.

The PCB of this kind of pad usually got large area for soldering.

lol sam

Just been using her for the last hour, not 2 bad, d pads a bit flimsy but buttons click well.

A pc stick may happen soon, Might be able to get this thing to handle mame, not sure maybe not powerful enough.

Whats the logic behind that button placement?

Triangle = 1
Circle = 2
X = 3
Square = 4

?!?!

I have an PSX-USB converter, and it uses the same placement, which I find really stupid. I need to remap the buttons in EVERY GODDAMN game.

Tell me about it!

The one I keep seeing is

box=1
TRiangle=2
X=3
Circle=4

ICK ICK ICK!

Actually don't have a clue about the button placement with regard as to wether it actually means anything on PC games.

But yes every time I start up gens have to go to joypad and input the commands when playing it from a CD. Just a cheap ps1 copy. does the job at the moment. sure its crap compared to a saturn pad but who cares.
