Re: Super Converter: PS3/PS4 to Dreamcast Adapter
Well actually just switch CONTROLLER 1 with your original DREAMCAST controller WITH VMU when you want to save. Problem solved ?

Probably. And I thank you for posing that question, because it led me to find out that PC USB peripherals are also supported by this converter. I have little interest in connecting a PS3/PS4 controller to my DC, but generic USB gamepad support opens up a whole world of possibilities.AgentMomo wrote:I got a RADIOSHACK PC USB Controller , I guess I could use that ?

Unless it suffers from the same artificial compatibility issues between Xinput / non-Xinput controllers that Microsoft practically forced onto Windows games.
I guess you meant "most (if not all) games". I know for a fact there are some games out there that exclusively save to VMU port A1. I don't remember which ones, though.TuxTheWise wrote:The lost of VMU is not a great deal, most (if not all) controllers let you save in any VMU connected to any controller.

Actually, don't do that. Don't ever hot swap controllers on the DC. This has a good chance of eventually popping ur controller board requiring it to be replaced.AgentMomo wrote:Yeah My Radioshack had these's controllers that were PC , PS3 , XBOX 360 I think they all looked the same , I think the purpose was you could of just used it on PC or your CONSOLE.
