The Dreamcast controller is a very complex thing (at least compared to most of the gamepads out there), and therefore it'd be difficult to hook up. It runs on a form of databus at 1.2Mbps.

You'd have to program a PIC (Programable Interrupt Controller) or other chip to decode the Dreamcast controller's signal to and from PC signals. (this would be very difficult for the average joe to do)

: Well, as i have a dreamcast arcade stick and most of my good old arcade games on my pc, i was wondering if anyone ever tried to connect a dreamcast stick or pad to his pc. I never saw anywhere someone tying, so what's the matter ? impossible thing ?

: BTW, is there a way i can use my usb port to try by myself. I can't seem to find someone that used usb as its interface and how.

: Thanks in advance...
