What is a good pc engine controller?

[Gredler]

Man I really want to attempt to make something like Bartre made for you.  I have the Mayflash F300, and I dropped a Sanwa stick into it.  Really happy with that so far, and it works on PS3, PS4, 360, Xbox One, Switch and PC.  I need something though for my older consoles. I have a few SNES, and Genesis arcade sticks from that time period and I'm just not happy with any of them.   I also have a Pelican Real Arcade Universal that will work with PS1/2, OG Xbox and GC, but I still need a good Saturn, SNES, Genesis, and PCE solution.  I really need to do something like Bartre, hopefully he'll come by this thread and post about what he did. 

He gutted the original ps4/ps3/pc PCB and put a MC Cthulu RJ-45 board in with a new port in the back. The RJ-45 cord can be crimped to make cables for various systems.

I definitely think MC Cthulhu is a great option, but it's not the only option.

Another diy stick board is the brook universal fighting board, but that's for newer systems afaik https://www.focusattack.com/brook-universal-fighting-board/

Another option is the get a decent ps1/2 stick and get tototek adapters, so you can use a nice ps1/2 stick on the PCE that way.

I have one of those Pelican sticks as well, but stopped using it as I heard the PCB design had a tendency to burn out controller ports. One of these days I'd like to have the board swapped out, so I can go back to using it without worrying that I'll damage one of my consoles.

Yeah I recently read online about that.  I may have missed some posts or comments but it seemed like it first started popping up from some people who were swapping controllers while the system was on.  Now I'm old school here and I was always told that was a big no no, and a rock solid way of either f*cking up your system or your controller.   

I hate to do the I've used it for years with no problems kind of post, but yeah I used it a lot back in the day and had no issues with it.  Again though I NEVER hot swap controllers that have to be plugged in on any of my system.  I don't know if that's it and if there are posts from people saying they didn't do that and it still fried their port then I totally missed them and that's on me.  Food for thought though.

Well, I don't have any way to know for sure if the stick was the cause, but I did start having issues with one of the ports on my Xbox, which was the system I used it on most. I also generally don't plug or unplug controllers while the system is on, either. I liked the stick, but I decided to play it safe. That, and Wii games that support GameCube controllers completely fail to detect it, so my hope would be that a new PCB would fix that. I'd love to use it for some Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Does the avenue 6 have a programmable button like the avenue 3

Nope, just a mode a/b button to switch between 2 and 6 button modes.

One thing is for sure, you neither waste question marks nor other punctuations, do you?

Thanks. There's also the EDIT button if you wish to avoid accidental double posts. Disabling the Tapatalk generated signature in your tapatalk settings and sometimes writing more than just one short sentence per post is also appreciated.

These unwritten rules are not gamebreaking, but if you wish to show you're caring for forum discussion culture, following them will gain you appreciation by other members and sweet, sweet (imaginary) bonus points.

Well this gives me enough pause to not use it any more.  I'm slowly collecting the things needed to build my own multi-system arcade stick.  I bought one of those MC Cthulhu boards, and going to do a similar thing to the arcade stick in this thread.  So I'll just end up using that for PS1/1 and GC stuff.

So was there any wireless controllers that used radio frequencies or is it all mainly IR I know the official NEC one is IR.
