Flames4LifeFLA Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 You can probably get a serviceable, decent, generic PC controller for somewhere around $10 from any local retailer that has a dedicated electronics department (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.)...

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 If you are a Gens player and really want to get old school like myself, you can buy a pair a Gens pads of Ebay for $10. Then go to retrousb.com for the adapter cord that will connect your pad to your USB port for around $20 with shipping. Not a bad deal. That's what I did and it works great. Welcome to the community!

Guest Wags13 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Awesome, thanks. When do the Spring League's start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addisonbr Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Awesome, thanks.When do the Spring League's start? I heartily endorse IAmFleury'sHipCheck's advice. I will never try playing with a Gravis pad again. Spring Leagues have been a bit delayed due to some much-needed infrastructure improvements to the site and league engines. Will probably still be a few weeks from now, but will totally be worth the wait. In the meantime, I think you'll find this to be a community with a number of avid players happy to get a few "friendlies" in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay dumb question, but when I got o retrousb.com all I see are NES and SNES USB adapters. I did see the GENS one that said you had to do some soldering but not interested in that. Is that the one you bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read some great reviews of the Logitech pads I linked below. It looks like a PS2 controller, so I assume I can configure it to work like a Genesis controller for NHL 94? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...CMP=OTC-Froogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegr8199 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 The Logitech controller is a great buy, reliable, look of a PS2 like you said. Can use either analog or classic Dpad with one touch of a button. Finally, you can choose either corded or cordless, with cordless being a bit more expensive but very handy.

What I bought used to be from this link: http://www.retrousb.com/genesis.html But now that link seems to go to a generic retrousb index page. I can't find the adapter I bought anywhere on their site. That is not a very exciting development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no worries, I await my Logitech USB controller anyway.. it would have been fun to go the true old school route, but I do that anyway with my plug and play TV NHL/Madden 95 game at home..
