I had an old atari, and a Sega Genesis and realized one day that the joystick fits perfectly in the Genesis port.
While the joystick only had one button, it was perfect for Sonic (only need one, to jump), and was much for fun to use than a d-pad.
I'm sure there's a simple reason for this interoperability, but I've never figured it out. Anyone know why?]]>Jul 20th 2006 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/Jul 20th 2006 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/The dreamcast 'stick was nice, but I'm pretty sold on the new 360 units -- they've got good size for my hands, and frankly the wireless feature (and control of power off/on on the xbox) works better than ANY other -- even the wavebird. I've walked farther than I can usefully see my display with full functionality. I've always loved the PS (and PS2) controller style, but it feels a bit small when used for long periods. ]]>Jul 20th 2006 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/It was great for Sonic and a few other simple games on Genesis, but I still don't understand why one worked on the other console?]]>Jul 20th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/From a quick google, it looks like they have very similar pinouts, the only difference being +5V on the genesis' port 5 that enables B C and Start with some electrical engineering magic that i don't understand. :P]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/sega-saturn-controller-hacked-to-work-with-xbox-360/Here
