Not as daft as it sounds as i've seen N64/PS2 converters so I was just wondering if anyone has ever made a megadrive pad- PC USB converter?
[S]It would really finish offthat retro feel[S]

I found a place in america which does a USB converter but i'm not convinced, mainly because they are the only one doing it. Plus for $25 I might aswell carry on using my PC one.

Haven't seen one on my travels but I'd suggest a Smart Joy Box one of they do them. I have one to use Cube pads via usb and my friend has a few different ones too.

Umm... isnt the pad the wrong way round? The D-Pad is on the right and buttons on the left.

It's a mirror image - most probably so they could ft it in that corner better.
Oh, and I remember using my Mega-Drive pads on the Amiga - great stuff :D

There were converters which allowed this a few years back - though they converted the Megadrive port to the old PC game port & not to USB - I wouldnt have thought there was much call for them anymore?

Couldn't find the info, but I also use my xbox pad on the PC. Makes games like F1 challenge with the 04pack a joy to play. The serial converters sound interesting, anyone know where I can get hold of one?
