I've been needing a good arcade stick for a long time. I originally bought a Shadowblade Arcade Stick for the PS2 a couple months ago, because I thought I'd need it to play the SFII Anniversary Collection. Of course, the game was delayed, and I later bought a Saturn so I could play Super SFII and SSF2X anyway.
However, I can't play well on a pad. I feel like only half the characters are accessible (I seriously cannot play "charge" characters on a pad), and I liked having a stick to play on back in the Genesis days. So I looked around for a great arcade stick I could use on the gaming systems I had fighters on (basically Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS2, though I had the Shadowblade for the last). I was also looking for a stick that I could use on my PC in order to play Mame.
I went to X-Arcade's website, because I heard they were good and could be used on multiple consoles. I was rather turned off when I heard that I could not use it on my Saturn. Then I went to http://www.massystems.com, because I heard they were just as good as X-Arcade, if not better. I found just what I was looking for--an arcade stick that was quality, and could be used on all the systems I wanted it to. It's just a bit costly: $185 in all.
However, I want to be sure of some things. Will the stick work well with Mame? Can anyone tell me if they dealt with Mas Systems in the past? Any response would be great. :)
