Ever wanted to use the Jag pad on your computer?

Actually yes I have! Thanks for the link, I have been looking for this!

Never thought about it until now, but will especially appeal to those that emulate the Jaguar on their PC.

Thought it strange when I first saw Jag pad to Atari DB9 adapters. And guess they still don't even allow for 2-button operation for Omega Race and some of these newer homebrews and hacks. Can even see using a Jaguar pad on the 7800, so long as you got 2-button support out of it. But until that happens, don't really see the point of using a Jag pad on other Atari systems.

Oh dear God, no.

 

One of the best things about emulation is being able to use a 360 controller instead of the Jagpad! (Or any of the other, lets face it, pretty terrible original controllers for these systems)

I've never felt any vitriol towards the Jaguar controller. From the moment I first held one, I've always found them comfy to hold (unlike a pantsful of other controllers I can think of) and it works about as well as any 8-way D-pad.

The thought of using the original Jag pad on a PC doesn't excite me much. The thought of using a ProController, however, does.

Yeah, I bought four of them right after release. Can't play games on the PC any other way now

Same here. Love mine!

I do use my ProController on my PC! I like using a $300.00 ProController when playing DOOM II or what ever emulator! :P

Yes it has a certain ring to it. Finally, a "Jaguar" at full potential.

[sirlynxalot]

You could just kinda cram some kind of pc into a jag case. Play skyrim with the pro controller and have the ultimate what if Atari had been successful simulated experience.

For Colecovision emulation it would be kinda cool.

Looks like "almost any controller" except Jaguar?

The 4-Play supports the following controller ports

cool....i missed that.

[LianneJaguar64]

Can't say I do But at least it exists I guess....

This is pretty useful for games requiring the number pad... not joking, I was a using the Buffalo SNES controller for standard gameplay, but keeping a wireless KB near for # key heavy titles

[DoTheMath]

I like to use controllers on Dos games. The number pad would be great for games like Catabombs where you can assign Numbers to Healing or special weapons.

 

I'm tempted.

That would be cool. Jag pads are one of the best (pro pad is the best IMO) pre analog controllers out there. Especially the ergonomics. I'd use it for darn near any pre analog console emulator, and lots of simpler modern games (ones that don't require analog obviously)
