Or you could just hack the guts from a USB gamepad and interface to the dreamcast stick for $15. -nt-

: 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...
