Can a Sega Mega Drive Arcade Controller be converted to use on PC?
« on: March 30, 2006, 07:38:31 pm »
I have a Sega Mega Drive Arcade Controller which I would like to convert to use on a PC for MAME System. Does anyone know if it has been done before or is possible to do. I am a complete novice and any suggestions would be appreciated. THANKS!

You can build a parallel port adapter:

If you're looking for the "Next Page" button, click the graphic that says "Suite".  I'm not sure if you'll need the SNESKey software or not.  This way, you've still got a stick that'll function with the actual system.

hello, i'm the site owner of "genesis2pc"
just want to add information, you only need to install PPJOY and there, you have to choose which type of padd you are using
and there, select "directpad"
for the twin adapter, i've choosen "console cable"

have fun ;)
