    Don't think Buffalo do a MD pad, never seen one anyway. You can use a real MD pad via USB with one of these

    Comment


      No PS3 to test it on I'm afraid, but it doesn't need any drivers because it's a generic HID device, so it should work.

      It doesn't feel exactly like a Snes pad, the buttons are kinda 'clicky' as opposed to the 'mushy' feel of the proper pad's buttons... it's nice for the price, and works a charm on emulators, but it's not a patch on the real thing.

      I've only seen Snes and Famicom ones, but I'm gonna have a bit of an explore and see if there are any more.

      EDIT - Looks like there are some excellent options on that Retrousb site!

        I got a generic white one with Green D-Pad and Buttons. I'd advise against it as the D-Pad is rather awful.

        I'll look forward to hearing if this one pictured is any good though as I'd like to replace the white and green one.

          Ok
          No problem. Thanks for the info, I was being a div anyway, I wanted to use it for ps1/ps2 retro stuff on the ps3 until the penny dropped. I keep trying to find ways of not buying the real thing again (another snes/md/pce etc) but I want really. Must be strong.

                  How do they come up with these prices? That's a disgrace.

                    I've always wondered that, Chocklo gets charged £34 for Earthbound but I got charged around £26 for 2 PS3 games. Makes no sense at all.

                    Edit: Just checked my emails for the recent Famicom and Disk System I bought, got charged customs on that as well and that came to £36.41 in total including the handling fees.

                    Received this today, not a huge fan of Metroid games but it was brand new and cheap.

                      I like the little disk system games. I had a lovely Famicom twin, I think it was MiG who bought it off me.

                        Yeah I remember pics you posted of it, looked like you had almost every Namco game made for the Famicom iirc . Speaking of which, I should hopefully have Rolling Thunder arrive tomorrow.

                          Nowhere near them all mate, but had a good few. Rolling thunder and splatterhouse wanpaku graffiti were the two coolest carts I had:

                            VAT is levelled at the same rate as normal. So the Customs form must have been declared (and insured perhaps) for something in the region of US$300. Oh, and it also takes into account (for whatever flying f*** reason) the cost of shipping too on top. And then there's the sting of the "handling fee" to boot.

                            Personally I would have had it shipped via normal airmail, declared at US$20 and stuck two fingers up at the usual suspects...
                            Lie with passion and be forever damned...

                              Feast your eyes on this puppy !!

                              Trolling on Swedish Ebay (Tradera) and came across this beaute
                              Only bidder was me and i won it for 1 skr (8,5 pence). Since the auctioneer described it as "untested" i guess i was the only one interrested, i figured i could always fix it up incase of it not being operable.
                              But....It worked like a charm


                              Interresting solution to the AC supply, it pluggs in to the A/V cable as not to be a hinderence when holding the Controller/Famiclone/lightgun device thingy.


                              It also came with 128 built-in games and as far as i've been able to asertain - no repeats



                              All in all a lovely piece of kit.

                                I did indeed buy your famicom twin and such a nice little console, still going strong!

                                I like the disk games but love all the different colours and shapes the cartridges come in, although they're a bugger to find in good condition..
