Multi format arcade stick, out of the box or modded - what are the options?

[analogmonkey]

I'm just wondering what are the best options for a multi format arcade stick these days. Nes, Snes, PC Engine, MD etc.

I bought a MadCatz Te stick and TE kitty modding boards a few years back and never got around to installing them.

Are these still the best options or is there a better option now, i've been out of the scene for while so just looking for some feedback really.

Cheers

Get a PS1/PS2 compatible Arcade Stick or mod your Arcade parts to a PS2 controller PCB. Most consoles as well as PCs have a PS2 controller adapter available.

Cthulhu board with an Ethernet adapter port is cheap and easy, it's compatible with every system except for the Genesis/SMS. Once you get the stick built all you have to do is get cords for whatever system and crimp an Ethernet end on 'em and you're good to go.

What these people said.

But if you really don't wanna open up the stick and mod it, the Hori Tekken 5 stick is super common (I typically see it for around $50) and has top-of-the-line parts straight out of the box, so that plus some adapters and you're good to go.

If you've still got the TE Kitty, just install that. The Kitty/MC Cthulhu is still the best PCB for legacy console support. Doesn't support MD though - you'll need to padhack a MD controller for that.
