Anyone ever use Tototeks Playstation to Saturn converter?

Post by VACRMH »

Just got two of them in the mail to use with my newly modded arcade stick. Problem is, it's not working with it.

The stick has a PS360+ installed that lets me use various cables for different systems, but when I use the playstation connection into the converter, nothing works.

Any suggestions? And if it's just not compatible, anyone want to buy them?

Actually, would a drop in power make it not work? Someone pointed out this part about the PS360+...

"Be aware there will be a nominal 200mV drop in voltage if
using this interface"

Could this be my problem?

I'm using a HRAP2 with this converter and it works fine. Sorry that I can't be of further help.

Works fine with my HRAP2 and even Logitech Cordless Action controller for PS2. It must not like the PS360 PCB.

What a shame. I was really excited to play some games on Saturn with an arcade stick. I guess I'll have to wait until they add support for Saturn.

If anyone is interested in the converters, let me know.

I have a PS360+ padhack for my Egret II and a PSX RJ45 cable. I figured I could use my DC Smart Joy 2 (PSX->DreamCast converter) but it didn't work (even though the PS360+ has support for DC). So maybe the thing just doesn't like controller converters. I'll just have to pick up some DC RJ45 cables.

I'm also hoping the next firmware update includes Saturn support :mrgreen:

Damn. I have a Dreamcast converter too that I was going to use. Looks like I'll be making myself a dreamcast cable too. Thanks for the heads up!
