Is there a stick you can use on Wii and PC

Post by shake_zula »

?

I can't afford to spend very much though :[ like under £60 preferably, so the PS2 HRAP isn't an option right now. Most of my shmupping is done on the Wii so I was just gonna get the TvC stick, but it'd be cool to have something I could use with MAME also

I dont think so something like stick is avaliable to work with it.Still you need to compromise with the budget if something is avaliable than also it will cost more than your budget decided.

A quick search on Play-Asia came up with this adapter you could use in conjunction with the TvC stick (in theory)...

Glad I could help! Just let us know how it works - the adapter is meant for classic controllers, and while I don't see why an arcade stick would be different, there's no way to be sure unless someone tries it (thus my "in theory" comment).

I'm tempted to get one myself, though I never invested in a Wii stick - I use one of my old PS2 sticks with a PS2->Gamecube adapter.

I think it'll work, the Wii recognises the stick as a CC and I'm sure I've read about precedents for solutions like this

Out of interest are there any good PS2 sticks easily obtainable + within my budget? I don't really like the way the TvC stick looks (since I have no interest in TvC). I'd be happy to use a wired one with a GCN adapter

A few show up here and there in the trading forum, but I strongly doubt any are still commercially produced besides the cheap HK multiplatform sticks of dubious PCB quality. For a good PS2 stick you're looking mainly at either finding a retailer that still has stock, or going with a custom stick.

HRAPs are great ps2 sticks, and still widely available. You can also use them with the joy box adapter for wii (gc). I personally use a couple of TE fightsticks w/ mc Cthulhu mod- works on most consoles and pc
