Title: X-Arcade Dual Joystick CHEAP!
Post by: XDelusion on January 25, 2013, 11:31:52 PM
I would presume these would work with any Amiga or Next Gen with USB? I don't have one, and sadly can not afford one right now, but assuming Amiga supports them, this is a deal!

Meh, I just built my own Fighting stick from scratch.  Using an Xbox360 controller as the base, it can work on PC with XBCD...

Well I would get the one that uses PS2 protocols as it should be recognized as a keyboard. I know these have been tested and work with morphos. That is a steal of a price. I went to get one but dont see ps2 options or adaptors??

edit: ah it looks like its compatible out of the box but not sure.. damn i want one..

They have them.  click on the down arrow under the "Add to Cart" button.  I think they are only going for $15.00 or something.

@Magnetic:

Sorry about not being too clear.  If you follow the initial link, there is a drop down menu under the "Add to Cart" button to the right of the page.  It even says, "Add Game System Adapters To Your X-Arcade".  Hope that helps.  :)

Well if they work in MorphOS they should work in about anything, though I'm particularly eager to run on MorphOS with a G5. That ought to be able to play a TON of later 90's MAME titles full speed I'd think, I.E. Elevator Action Returns, Street Fighter III, and Golden Axe II.

Considering my Peg2 runs most of those no problem i'm sure g5 will handle it! I'm ordering one of these.. Wish i could get the trackball one.. what I really want is a "spinner" so i can play Tron, Tempest and others.

Oh, I didn't see the one with the track ball! Very cool! Marble Madness is calling! :)

I'm sorry, which adapter would work with a Sam460ex running OS4.1 update 6?

It is a USB input so you most likely wouldn't need an adapter for the SAM.

before paying that kind of price maybe look at a brand called Qanba. Took a chance and got one called the Qanba 1 form DX about 5 years ago. Top notch quality.

Their newer stuff looks a lot nicer, but also more expensive.
