cthulhu board for PC joystock simple question
aardvark:
ok, i may be being a bit thick here but bear with me ;). i have a joystick i made ages ago for my dreamcast that was just a hacked controller pcb connected to some arcade parts. Am i to understand that if i swap the dreamcast board for a cthulhu pcb i can then connect it to the PC and it will be recognised as a usb joystick?? i.e. that the cthulhu board is all i need?
sounds to easy to be true - is it?

Or you can leave it as a Dreamcast joystick, get a DC to PC adapter (like a Trio Linker Plus), and then you have a dual system joystick.

The Cthulhu board will also let you play on PS3 though, so you might want to take that into consideration.

So will a Trio Linker Plus, according to their website.
