Canā€™t afford one any time soon, but Iā€™m thinking about springing for a Snack Box Micro and becoming one of those Hitbox people.

I have caved and ordered the Brook Wingman SD so I can use Xbox One controllers on the Dreamcast. Iā€™m sorry Sega I love you but those grips are criminally small and why do they point inwards

Are those retro 8-bit Saturn controllers any good?

I think everyone here had one that broke in two weeks.

I like that it had modern USB stuff so retroarch recognized it and I didnā€™t have to manually set buttons.

if you want to use a saturn controller on PC just get a real one and the mayflash adapter imo

8bitdo M30 is the good shit

The Retro-Bit Saturn USB controller?

I just hooked one up to my MiSTer.
Initial impression is pretty good. Seems way better than the 8bitdo SN30 in terms of comfort and responsiveness. Maybe check back with me in a bit to see if it is still working.

Not speaking to reliability at all, because I just hooked it up.
It actually seems almost exactly midway between the 8bitdo SN30 and the Genesis Mini 3 button.
Better than the SN30, not as good as the 3 button.
A lot more buttons than the 3 button though.

:call_me_hand: :calling:

sucks, get the m30. caveat: the 2.4 m30 doesnā€™t actually work on a PC, so there is no such thing as a wireless saturn pad that doesnā€™t suck ass.

Iā€™m having deja vu but I have definitely used a 2.4 ghz m30 on PC with retroarch and Steam

Steam sees it as a Switch Pro controller and RetroArch calls it a ā€œ6B Controllerā€

yeah some people can vaguely get it to work. for me it is recognized asā€¦something, but only a few buttons work, and only sometimes. Plugging it in works fine

So is the M30 only wireless? Or is there a wired version?

nah, theyā€™re all wired as well. thatā€™s the good part.

Ah, I see the USB-C connectivity. Okay. Looks good. Thanks!

Seeing the back of this thing was like turning over a rock in my yard and finding a human finger.
