Dreamcast controller

Submitted ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨retrogaming@lemmy.world⁩

So i had a dreamcast 20 some years ago, it was awesome but got destroyed in a flood. I would buy another one but I have way too mamy consoles already. I was messing with emulating and I tried looking everywhere for any dreamcast style controllers for use with pc, or adapters, and really didnt find anything. I like to at least have the right controller vs just playing everytbing with a ps2 controller…

Here you go.

Do a little research and make sure it’ll work for you, but I think this might be your magic bullet.

  Oh, fascinating! I’ll have to look into it some more later, but do you know if it supports receiving VMU information from the game?
  
  Like Sonic Shuffle showing your cards on the VMU

    I imagine that would hinge on the specific emulator you’re using and whether it’s has developed support for it.

  While this is COOL, I dont need wireless, I dont use windows, and i could buy a whole dreamcast with a controller for the price theyre asking!
  
  Good website though, thank you.

    I’m sure it would likely work fine on Linux, but yeah, isnt cheap.

Raphnet (and possibly others) make a USB adapter for Dreamcast pads, if you have one.

If you want something brand new, Xbox controllers have a more or less direct lineage from Sega pads, as (iirc) MS hired many ex-Dreamcast personnel to work on the original Xbox after the DC was killed off.

360 pads work well on PC and are easy to come by. Hyperkin also makes a modern version of the original Xbox ‘duke’ controller that might work well.

I used the Nintendo Switch “Pro controller” in the past and it was fine.
