Title: PC Magic Box (Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation controller to USB)
Post by: rugdoctor on June 08, 2009, 03:17:23 PM
Hi Guys,

I got a few of these for sale,cause I know a few of us have older controllers lying around just waiting for some action.

Check it out: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=223205980

Cheers

Sorry to be a bit of a downer, but if anyone is wanting just a ps2->usb converter, I highly recommend the FAR CHEAPER ($15 as opposed to $80) joybox 3 pro

Obviously it doesn't do the saturn/dreamcast conversion, but that's likely to be a far rarer request.

Wow, the same pc magic box for $25AUD is cheap indeed.

Been scouring the net for the best Saturn and Dremacast alternative to use on the PC, this seems to do it all, cause I saw some cheaper ones that can only do DC and PS1/2 only.

Ordered a few from a place and selling a few to offset costs. Ideal for technophobes like me, too afraid to hack controllers.

I was hoping to land it for half the price I advertised, but there is only 1 shop I know of that has them and they certainly not letting them go cheap...btw, did you have to install the driver that came with the converter for use on the pc?

 ;) Namco stick is my one of choice as well, but recently felt the SEGA virtual stick for the Saturn is more natural.
