Gunther Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have struggled to find a P.C/Mac/Linux U.S.B Jaguar Pro-Controller solution anywhere. Are there any available, or in production? It would be great to have a controller that works on modern platforms, and real Jaguar hardware. A controller such as this could have improvements over the original: - Improved D-pad - Reduced overall size (keypad stays the same as the original) If there is a controller like this available/in-development then please post any relevant links. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 There isn’t any. You can get an awesome DIY replacement d pad from @Bratwurst and you can get an awesome Bluetooth Jag controller adapter that works with any modern controller from Humble Bazooka when they’re back in stock. If you wanted to use a Jag controller on a PC, you could wire up a VGA to USB interface but you might have to write a driver for it. Given that the RePro controllers are still well stocked everywhere years after they were released, it might not be a winning move financially to try to make a new controller. But if you wanted to take on the challenge I would be willing to buy one. Perhaps an easier approach might be an arcade stick, as it’s easy to get high quality parts. You could even use a standard number pad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 It would be a great control scheme in new/HD remakes of classic Jaguar games. Old Dos first-person shooters could also include a Jag Pro-Control option; even game specific keypad overlays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Nobody is going to remake Jaguar games for PC, I’m sad to say. There’s just no way. PC gamers use keyboard and mouse. They are not interested in gamepads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 I was always under the impression that Pro controllers usually sell-out really quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporadic Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/jaguar2usb_adapter/index.php These were good. I used the DIY board version. Sadly they are currently out of stock. Not sure if it's what you're after, but you can use the Jag Pad via USB on your PC. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keighn Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I too was wondering if the newer jaguar pro controller from https://songbird-productions.com/product/jaguar-procontroller/ was compatible with thos adapter http://www.2600-daptor.com/Jaguar-daptor.htm I think it was made for the original. I didn't realize that the jaguar was a 15 pin and not a 9 pin. If this does indeed work then its a surefire purchase for me for some pc gaming.

sirlynxalot Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) The adapter you linked works with the pro controller. I have it and use it myself. In fact the pro controller doesn't have more buttons than the regular controller. What I mean is that the "new" buttons on the pro controller duplicate some of the existing buttons in the number pad area. So there are no additional unique buttons compared to the regular pad.
