PCBs that let you use controllers for home systems!!

[MagicMajenta]

I know of a few boards that let you use controllers or joysticks for home systems and was wondering if people here know others. Like the MVS boards allow you to use AES joysticks for them. The Naomi boards let you use DC controllers/joysticks. And the Tekken 5.1 cab lets you use the PS2 joystick on the side of the control panel. Anyone here know of others. Just curious if there are other boards out there that let you use home console controllers.

hmmm...pretty intersting info....

I've never seen a Naomi cab that would let you do that, but I was pretty sure you could. Other than that, you named all the ones I can think of. I'm sure they're are more. Didn't the arcade versions of the Genesis and 5200 use the home controllers?

IIRC, there was a board that some variation of Blitz runs on that allowed you to use your N64 memory card...close but no banana to what you're asking, but an interesting point of trivia, IMHO. ;)

The sega naomi board does not let you use the DC controllers, but certain games will allow you to use them as a way to tranfer data from the arcade to a vmu, namely Marvel vs Capcom 2.

and that depends on which i/o is being used.
