There's only one type of official Dreamcast stick.

Some people are replacing the stock parts with Sanwa or Seimitsu. Others also add a Dual Shock board inside for PS1 and PS2 usage. They don't always remove the Dreamcast board, instead choosing to leave it a dual-system stick.

I will be hooking mine to a real arcade control panel so i would not have much use for it but thanks for the offer.

Post by: northerngames on July 09, 2007, 10:29:01 am: no I already have a real arcade control panel and buttons and have no use for it sorry.

also not an x-arcade fan anyhow and would not use one for anything I make my own custom control panels to any size or shape I need plus I hear the wiring is goofy in them but I already have buttons joysticks and control panel just looking for the above is all.

Post by: exibar on July 15, 2007, 01:00:17 pm: there's a dreamcast lightgun to ipac converter? where can I pick up such an animal? Does it allow use of the lightgun in mame?

Post by: northerngames on July 15, 2007, 02:06:39 pm: sorry I had left out the dreamcast "controller" to ipac adaptor

it is an adaptor that allows the ipac's to plug into the dreamcast and saves the hassle of hacking and hard wiring the stock controllers to the buttons and joysticks and with this adapter it makes it a plug and play swap and avoids all the hassle of having to do wires over or tap into your current Control panel..

but none the less I think they do work with the J-pac and they enable light guns so it may work with them but I have no clue and have not asked around about that yet but it would be nice ;D

Post by: northerngames on July 15, 2007, 09:36:13 pm: I am all set now I got the light guns I was after and I decided not to bother with the ps2 to dc adpapter then that to an ipac adapter just to get the controllers working with acade controls I found them to cost more then building myself another custom control panel with my likings along with some holsters for the light guns along with new buttons and joysticks and just use 2 stock hacked dreamcast controllers it is a little more work then buying the adapters alone but should be cheaper and have new controls to go with it..
