I sent an email but haven't gotten a response, I was hoping someone might know which on that page I'm supposed to grab?

woah... I just figured out how much this would actually cost... quite a pretty penny and way more than I thought it would

are there any DIY solutions to this?

Do you want to hook up your Dreamcast controllers to your Ipac?  You can do that yourself or Haruman can do it for you:

I already have my arcade controls wired up and connected to my PC... I was under the impression that if I bought the thingies from that site I could just plug the ipac into the dreamcast and have my arcade controls work with it? If Haruman can do that for cheaper than yeah, I guess I could go down that route instead.

Does anyone know any more about this?

EDIT: Would I just be better off buying a X-arcade BYOA kit? It seems to me that it does the same thing as an ipac but can connect to dreamcast as well.

We will be taking over the Dreamcast adaptors from Arcadecabinets.co.uk soon, and the prices will be reduced.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.
