Sega Saturn pad for ps2

[T-1000]

Hey everyone. New here & I already have a question...

I read a review awhile back on shoryuken.com about a pad Sega released in Japan based on the Saturn's pad for the ps2. From the pic it pretty much looked identical in style. Anyone have any idea on where I could locate one of these online? Play-Asia's out of stock & pretty much everywhere else I've looked I've came up empty. Even eBay. I really would love to get a hold of one of these to play 2d fighters on my ps2. I have quite a few & while I don't mind the Dualshock2 as much as other, more hardcore 2d fighting game fans do I'd love to play it with the much more comfortable Saturn pad.

ps. Not a fan of converters. I thought about it but I would prefer the actual pad just for collection reasons.

$100?!! Wow, okay nevermind. I didn't realize they were that rare & expensive. I guess it's not really all that expensive but still a little rich for my blood considering it's just a controller. I could get Street Fighter Alpha 3 for my Saturn with that money. Oh well...

It seems that once they sold out, that was it. It's unfortunate because they are really great controllers. I believe they were about $50 from Play Asia when they were available, so they were always expensive.

You might be better served finding a PSX adapter that allows for the use of Saturn pads. You wont get the select button though.

Looks like my only option. I've never used an adapter before. Do they have any kind of lag? Might be a stupid question but oh well.

I believe they were made to be used with the Darkstalkers PSP port. I think they were purple. I saw a few on ebay that were in the $30 range about a year ago. I didn't jump on them b/c I was (and still am) looking for Saturn USB controllers. I bought one from Lik-Sang for about $47 shipped. When I went to buy a few more they were sold out. Totally sucks. Best 2D controller ever, better than the real Saturn controllers and worth evry penny.
