I recently aquired one of these via eBay-

along with a couple of pachinko games. I have a couple of questions about the controller as well as one of the games, so I'll start with the controller.
If you look to the right and up from the rate handle you'll notice a little red light. Now this light has never illuminated on my controller and before I open it up to see if there's even an LED in there I figured I'd ask about it. Is this light even functional on the controller? I have another thread running at Pachitalk about the FF series of Sankyo machines (which this is a replica of the shooter mech) concerning if the light on the originals came on and under what conditions.
There's next to no solid information on this controller that I have found so I was curious as to if anyone has more information. Any is helpful. (I don't need a pachinko lesson though)
Next, the game Sankyo Fever-S Jikki Simulation was included with the controller, I know there were three other Sankyo Fever-S Jikki Simulation games released on the Saturn (Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3) and that they are the only games compatible with the controller. However the jewel case for Sankyo Fever-S Jikki Simulation is thicker than a normal jewel case, just slightly. I noticed this when I went to replace the front panel (which was cracked) with a standard one and noticed it wouldn't fit. This is how it always was since the insert edges and obi are wider as well. Yet, the booklet is pretty thin, so the larger case doesn't make sense to me.
Was the game a pack-in with the controller, maybe with the controller manual inside the game jewel case which would warrant the thicker profile? Again any information would be nice.
So I guess I'm really looking for someone that has one of these controllers complete as well as a copy of Sankyo Fever-S Jikki Simulation. LOL Thanks.
