[@The_Soulbutcher]

The thing i noticed right away in this video that i like is where the cable comes out of the controller. Definitely an improvement from the original controller.

[@Catmato]

If I made this, I'd make some changes: -Strip out the 2nd VMU port and internalize the jump pack -Add a 2nd analog stick with a toggle for face-button emulation, trigger emulation, or actual 2nd analog mode -6 face buttons and let the bumpers be C and Z buttons as well -Optional USB dongle for PC play I know this would be hitting closer to $70 or $80, but it would be the ultimate DC controller IMO.

i like your idea of swapping the dpad and analog stick but.. id like a second analog stick that emulates the four face buttons so FPS games are easier to play PLUS 2 extra buttons as facebuttons that work as L and R for fighting games..those 2 ideas would also make this controller so much better for a wider range of games

[@acdc09]

Seriously, wouldn't you think with all the retro consoles out and love for the Dreamcast so strong that if Sega decided to create a sequel console, even through crowd funding with dual stick controllers that it would have some solid success? It wouldn't have to compete with the power of current consoles, just provide a jump forward in the Dreamcast experience and be open for Indi developers to create games for it. I'd buy it.

[@eponymous7910]

Sega are a s#it$how these days, they'd find a way to balls it up completely

[@DavidBeattty]

Hey Adam, engineer to the rescue here. Technically you could put a button to swap the functions between the thumb sick and the d-pad, the only problem is that the controller itself has to run a program so that it can tell whenever you press the "swap button" and also almost forgot to mention that the controller itself has to be built with that purpose in mind, meaning that at a hardware level there has to be a by pass so that either the thumbstick or the d-pad can assume the functionality of one or the other. Both the d-pad and the analog stick are analog lol, so in theory you could make a controller with that functionality in mind.

​@@AdamKoralik It has yet to arrive but I'll let you know when I do, someone actually made a review on KZbin describing the whole thing.

Put it in, and it charges and lights up. Take it out, light's out.

[@anasevi9456]

I've kinda swore off both sadly. I really disdain the loose imprecise playstation 4 analogue sticks, and all these 3rd party controllers use clones of that . Rubber cap is welcome, but not at the expense of losing the stiffer spring and more precise, less digital input ramp of the dc analogue sticks. Also like the taller pivot of genuine Sega d-pads for fighting games, I get not liking the dreamcast d-pad for its shape, but it doesnt fade out in corners as easily as flatter dpads.

Maybe if this were a dual-stick scenario, and like how you suggested a toggle for the D-pad and analog stick, make the second stick emulate the face buttons, then with a toggle, put the face buttons left side, the analog stick right-side, make Quake and other shooters substantially more playable.

Great to hear that it does its job well. And yeah maybe a D-pad/Stick swap button would be a nice feature. Oh yes, at 14:12 I was waiting to hear you bring that particular game up. That issue is one of the reasons, why I would find it a struggle to play the DC version. I've gotten to use to the analog stick in Remastered version.

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

Kind of wish they would move the D pad to a spot where we can use it and the analog stick at the same time for games that used the analog stick for movement and d pad for camera control!

I live your idea for a switch to toggle the analog stick between analog and d-pad mode. That would be nice.

[@izzymaedavidson1974]

I just knew Adam would review this controller.

[@lee5111]

Also a good edition would be a thumb stick or pad on the right, replicating the a,b,x,y buttons as some games such as unreal actually used them for up, down, left & right.

[@NewGabeOrder]

The thing I didn't like about this controller are that the bumpers aren't the hidden C and Z buttons for the left and right ones respectively. Therefore, using Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick as Right Bumper and Right Trigger respectively is not possible.

[@EB01]

I vaguely recall reading something about some 3rd party rumble/jump packs having some odd non-1st party specs - in question was that some 3rd party controllers would try to draw too much power via the controller and could cause issues (apparently VMU data corruption). Again it was something that I can only vaguely recall. The StrikerDC might not accepting some vibration packs because of non-standard design?

[@AdamKoralik]

Not sure, but the ones I used were legit. I didn't try it with all third party ones. Guess I could have.

[@CasperEgas]

I think the original controller is fine. I bought one of these for the N64, as I hate that first party controller. For the Dreamcast there is just no need for me. The stick could have been better and for some games, six buttons would have been better. The VMU should have had a much higher capacity, that would have really improved the system. I would by the new wireless licensed controller instead of this one.

[@SilverStormShadow]

Hey Adam, I've been thinking about getting a DreamConn, but I have a question. You know how the fuses in the Dreamcast controller ports are known to break or pop if the controller is removed and/or plugged in while the system is on ? Basically I'm incredibly protective over all my consoles and I don't want to risk damaging them, so my concern is, If the DreamConn runs out if charge while the system is turned on, will this affect the fuses on the board, or will they be fine if the battery dies during play ?

[@AdamKoralik]

Truth is, I don't know. I have to assume no as the dongle is always connected. It's really only the controller itself turning on or off. But...the guy who designed it is the only one who could probably say for sure.

Why did retro fighters put a 2nd analog stick on the NES controller, but didn't do that on the Dreamcast one? A 2nd analog stick that could be mapped to the A-B-X-Y buttons or D-pad would be a godsend for First-person shooters on the Dreamcast. Not sure if it's that easy to do, but it would be much appreciated.

[@Vampire__Squid]

Adam you might already know this, but the Dreamcast input processor supports 2 analog sticks, Sega could've totally released a dual analog Dreamcast controller

[@simbin.]

I wish they would have added a right thumbstick, that you could map to the left thumbstick, dpad or XYAB, for games and homebrew that would benefit.

[@neonte13]

Man... I just have to say... Oh my shit! Finally, a third party manufacturer that gets why the Xbox joystick placement is better for 3D games! Maybe other people have different hands. Maybe they're just too used to holding controllers in their fingers, rather than their whole hands, for the ergonomics-driven design to feel right for them... but for me, this company put the d-pad in the right place for the mainly 2D consoles, and the thumbstick in the right place for those that have more 3D games... might have to keep this brand in mind for future third party controllers... if they're made well, of course. It sounds like they are, especially if you get a later revision, but I wonder how they hold up, over time. I'd still be totally happy with my Afterglow wired 360 controller if only the rubber thumbstick caps weren't shithouse, or could accept the rubber covers from official controllers. What a dumb place to cheap out. Thumbstick rubber gets chewed through like a sweater in a moth farm... Are there moth farms? Don't answer that.

[@noneed4me2n7]

Thanks I got a vga box years ago been following u a long time. I use the pound cable for a simpler setup when visiting and whatnot. Had weird issues Saturday playing with my son, random resets and freezes. Eventually it all just worked.

[@AdamKoralik]

Little advice with the Dreamcast, when using VGA it likes to be turned on in a certain order or it won't display quite right. The mClassic actually fixes this, but only if the mClassic is on before the Dreamcast. Normally, if you turn your TV on, then your Dreamcast, the screen won't be aligned right and part of the right side will be missing. Turn your Dreamcast on first, then the TV, issue resolved. However, if the mClassic is connected and on...then you can turn the Dreamcast or TV on in whatever order you want. But the mClassic must be on before the Dreamcast in that situation. Maybe that will help.

[@noneed4me2n7]

Adam Koralik thanks for the info either buy accident or dumb luck it all worked fine on the first try on all my TVs plus it had that flyer that warns which direction the Mclassic has to be.

[@SuppleAloe64]

Those Dreamcast issues sound like a power problem (with the controller, I'd guess). Jump packs draw a lot of current, and I've had similar strange issues related to a modded steering wheel (I did a rumble pack mod) where if the rumble pack gets disconnected mid-game, stuff like that happens. I don't have DCHDMI or other mods, but I'd imagine they wouldn't be very happy with a power supply blip caused by something like that. Also, small thing, but games that support the fishing rod do use analog thumbstick 2, as that's what the accelerometer uses. So a dual-analog controller that identifies itself as a fishing rod controller would work with the fishing games, Soul Calibur, and Virtua Tennis (first one only, not the sequel). Maybe also Crazy Taxi, but I don't remember off the top of my head if shaking the fishing rod did anything in that game... Actually, a dual-analog controller for Soul Calibur would probably work really well, as the thumbstick 2 mapping in it is kinda like the C-stick on a Gamecube controller in Super Smash, while for Virtua Tennis it just swings the racket.

[@crunchyfrog555]

Adam, I've used a few different Dreamcast controllers over the years, and I wonder if your issues with VMU, controller, rumble et al is down to one thing, namely connection. I had two controllers (one official, one not) that would often either just not work all of a sudden or buttons wouldn't work, or some weirdness like that, then turning the console off seemed to fix it. I also had it where the VMU would occasionally beep during gameplay or blink. Took a while to figure out that it boiled down to inconsistencies between the plug on the controller and the controller port. One controller (the official one) had a bit too much wiggle, so it couldn't maintain connection if it moved about. The other was down to it being a third party one and the metal connections not quite being as well manufactured, so the tension on the connections wasn't enough, enabling the wiggle to happen when moving. So I wonder if this one issue is the root of your problems, as it can also make rumble packs appear to not work sometimes, as a por connection won't draw enough power to activate it.

[@AdamKoralik]

I actually considered that, but I actually had the controller board resoldered about six months ago.

[@crunchyfrog555]

It wasn't board end for me. It was the plugs on the controllers being the issue. And it was a bit of a sod to track down, as the Dremcast controllers have those odd plugs a bit like Gamecube, they didn't seem as loose as conventional pin and socket types. It was those metal "strips" on the plug that didn't offer enough tension and possibly even a bit of looseness in the plastics design that did it for me. As there wasn't much play in them , it wasn't until I started disassembling and testing before I came across it. There was just enough play in between those "strips" of metal on the controller plugs and where they seat to make a dodgy connection if any slight movement happened. I hope this might offer some guidance to you. It's at least worth bearing in mind, so glad to help.

[@crunchyfrog555]

Almost forgot - what I did to fix it was just tweak/bend the connecting strip enough to sit a little more proud and that gave it enough to sit snugly.

I’m glad that someone came out with a more modern dc controller. Now I can quit using my Ps2 controller lol.

I love the sega dreamcast ,but I always found it weird that the regular Dreamcast controller have less bouttons than the Sega Saturn controller. 8 bouttons to 6 bouttons.

[@XTHHedgehog]

Hey Adam, did you happen to have a list of all 4 player games for the Dreamcast? I'm looking to maybe get 2 more controllers but I don't want to spend the extra money if none of the 4 player games are worth it

[@AdamKoralik]

Not off hand, but Power Stone 2 and Gauntlet Legends come to mind.

[@XTHHedgehog]

@@AdamKoralik Power Stone 2 I know is worth it, but I know I can't wrap my head around Gauntlet Legends. What the hell do I do in that game? (Yes, I stupifly went in blind)

[@studiokadaver]

Also I want the same D-Pad - Joystick swap feature too.

I think they should have left just the two rear triggers and added two more face buttons and mapped them to L and R. Games like Capcom VS SNK would benefit :)
