DC joypad 4 PC

[Flash]

I wonder why there's no drivers/diagrams for DC Pad -> LPT connection ?

IMHO DC pad uses sorta serial connection (some info here) and can be easily connected to LPT or COM.

What's the difficulties here ? I don't have any experience in console controller drivers programming but if DC Pad uses compatible (TTL) signals, making such driver can't be a big problem.

But...Why i've never seen any info about subj. ?


Of couse i know the "surgical" way ( cut off chip and wire buttons and stick to gameport) but it's better to leave DC compatibility.

It's possible ?

It might be because the DC pad really isn't that good... it's oversized with not enough on it and the stick is way too high up. Among other things.

I always wonder, with the existance of the DC controller, why people complained about the size of Xbox's controller...

It's maybe oversized , but really good for fighting games (of course i know about Saturn pad) and analogue shifts is interesting feature for simulators (racing, etc)

And... DpadPro have Jaguar (imo, the worst pad ever) and Vboy (very common ) pad support. So why not add DC, GC etc. Not in Dpad (it's dead) but new drivers

Old NeoGeo stick was really huge and heavy (but not too much for arcade stick) and it was gr8...
