Site advise, has anyone bought from here before?
It's just too cheap to be true IMHO. So I'm a bit dubious as if i should use it...............


Has anyone here used them before. i just found it by googling USB Snes control.........


I've wanted one of these since about 1996/7.

-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

Re: Site advise, has anyone bought from here before?
Initial googling gives varied results.

On the one hand, a lot of people (a good many only have 1 post in their respective forums) say that it's legit.

On the other hand, a review site is riddled with 'it's a scam'.  Though, it's apparent that most of those are written by the same person under multiple account names.

You could try buying something really cheap. And if that shows up, then buy the thing you want.

Meh.

I would just get a DualShock-to-USB converter and use that.

Re: Site advise, has anyone bought from here before?
I've got two dual-shock style usb controllerz already.

But i need, Nay CRAVE that original Snes feel. Games like Killer Instinct and Super Metroid are just unplayable as my muscle meory has trouble pulling off a 78 hit ultra for fulgore with a PS1 style control.

Re: Site advise, has anyone bought from here before?
geez, *click*  google is your friend
also  : DIY version... this are for adapters, so you still have to get a regular pad, which shouldn't be too hard... there's also retrousb.com, but i don't know if it's trust worthy


later and good luck~ (btw, i want my barn in yellow with purple polka dot)

uhm, there are adapters, sadly the controllers are sold out @ retrousb.com but you can still get a "to usb" adapter and plug your own controller without butchering it...
