tripletopper Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I got a couple question about new genesis controllers I saw at Best Buy. First do they only work with PlayStation 4 Xbox One and switch,. Or do they work with real 9-pin Sega Genesises too? is there a slip on adapter that works for each of the three systems a separate add-ons and when off work for the real back in the day Genesis? do you think say I might have been temporarily mess with their controls to sell Sega Genesis controllers? None of the modern systems have a 6 button arrangements for Street Fighter and Eternal Champions and many others. But they made fighting Joy pads at least for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. And if you're so inclined you could also use a fightstick. however I got a problem with the arrangement Sega has with their controls on their Genesis collection. L2 and r2 / LT and RT. Must represent fast forward and rewind. Which is funny because I've never seen an instance where you would use analog rewinding or fast-forwarding because it's so slow just avoid being bad you have to rewind the tape at least 5 seconds with takes longer than negative real time. Yet the hori fight pad on both systems, which would make great Genesis controllers,. as well as at least half the fight sticks for both systems use the Capcom standard which has LT and RT / L2 and r2 triple punch and heavy punch respectively, using 8 button Street Fighter terms. That's a good standard formation. They should have an alternate formation where RT/R2 could be used as z, and RB/R1 as C. If you own a PlayStation 4 you are screwed if you wanted Genesis style controller. if you want an Xbox One at first you think you might be saved but you're actually doubly screwed. Xbox One does have operating system button remapping. but the problem is that LT and RT can only be swapped with each other they can't represent any other button nor can any other button represent them. Go to matter how hard you try you can't get an optimal mapping with a Street. Fighter based fightstick. Plus how do you press r3 / right stick in what most joysticks don't have that as a basic function, at least my Street Fighter PlayStation 2 joystick with PS2 to Xbox One converter doesn't. Does the Nintendo switch have similar problems with the Genesis stick formation? Finally I was wondering if they can make a joystick adapter but you could take individually wired discrete inputs, and plug them into a PCB that'll work for the various systems,. Because no one makes an off-the-shelf right-handed fightstick. But if my experiment, succeeds I could make an ambidextrous fight stick on an as ordered basis. Visit Sinister Sticks to read updates.

tripletopper Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 If you skip the above here's the TRDL version: I found Sega Genesis controllers at my local Best Buy. One: do they work with the original Genesis. Two: do they work with PlayStation 4 Xbox One and Switch on the Genesis collection? Three:. Will they work on older systems that could use a Genesis pad like Wii virtual console for Genesis games or the Xbox 360 Genesis collection or Xbox live games that were designed with a Genesis aesthetic, or is a fight pad for like modern fighters like Street Fighter? Four: if the answer is no to all, then what good are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four: if the answer is no to all, then what good are they? Hard to tell. We'd have to know the precise brand and model. There's been a number of Genesis controller re-releases recently, some of which are actually intended to work with original hardware, some with modern systems and the Genesis mini. My guess would be that if Best Buy carries them, they're the USB versions for use on modern consoles as well as the Genesis mini. http://retro-bit.com/sega-collaboration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
