Could someone tell me what brand of Saturn to Dreamcast controller adapter is compatable with the saturn Virtual On sticks. The adapter I have will not register the Saturn Twinstick and I really don't want to spring for the dreamcast sticks if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

HA! Found it. You're looking for a "Total Control 3" as it has a TwinStick mode switch.

That's the one I've seen working with a Saturn TwinStick before and it has a VMU port on the side. The DC TwinStick is ugly and overpriced, glad to know there's yet another who perfers the Saturn TwinStick. :)

How do these adaptors map the C and Z buttons?
I wouldn't mind getting one to play fighters, but I need all six face buttons to work.

I don't know, all I know is the Total Control 3 is the only adapter to have 100% compatibility with the Saturn TwinStick.

Hot damn!

That is exactly what i need for my "Beats of Rage" needs.

And here i was going to get the one that adapted PSX controllers (and use my Retrocon).

LOL Good deal. I still haven't bought one of these myself... in fact I haven't used my TwinStick much since I bought it - which is something I was afraid of... with the local VirtualOn machine long gone for a few years now there isn't much incentive to practice at home. :/
