PCE Wireless Controllers???

[offsidewing]

Does anyone have any experience with these??  I'm thinking about tracking down a tap and a couple of controllers.

Do these things have any bad lag??  I'll mostly be playing RPGs, Puzzle, and basic Bonk/Legendary Axe type games.

How long do the batteries last?  30 minutes or 5 hours (of gameplay)??

That's all.  I just want to see if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.  I know a 6 or 10 ft extension cable is cheap, but I'm thinking wireless. . . .

I use a pair of these almost exclusively.  There's no lag, but they are infrared so line of sight is important.  You'll be fine, as long as you don't get too excited try to put too much english on your moves.  I don't know exactly how long the batteries last, but I'd say that they last for weeks of gameplay.

Does the IR tap require Batteries as well?

[Necromancer]

Nope - just four AAAs in each controller.

Sweet, now I'll just need to justify spending $100 on a new tap and two controllers.  Oh, I can't lay on the couch and play Cosmic Fantasy 2 with out them. 

More over, there is zero chance of my wife coming in the room to read while I play, and then tripping over the controller cord when she gets up (which she does all the time with the PS2 when I play).  SOLD.

In my game room, I have to set the receiver on top of the entertainment centre thing that my TV sits in and its a lot higher than the level that I hold my pads at. The line of sight problem was so bad that I went back to using an extension cable.

In theory I could use the extension cable for the receiver, but the way things are setup up right now, there's still nowhere for me to sit it around the TV.

Its worth buying if you can make the room for it line up well enough.

possibly cheaper solution: find a playstation to pcengine adapter (they exist) and then a playstation wireless controller. probably easier to come by.

But don't expect to play the 6 button games; the only psx>pce controller adapter i've seen doesn't use them.

Got my brand spanking new boxed wireless controllers (x2) and tap today.  I hooked em up and tried them out.  Pretty nice, no lag at all.  The small 'on/off' switch probably save the battery life a lot.

NO more tripping over the cables or nasty rat's nest of cables.

High Resolution Pictures, Pulitzer?  Strike.  George Lucas.

Oh,

Please post some High Resolution Pictures!  Of the boxes, controllers, or my lazy @$$ on the couch playing?

[guyjin]

Yes.

[Necromancer]

or my lazy @$$ on the couch playing?

Of you playing PC Engine games with the new wireless controllers or of you playing with yourself (I really don't want to see the latter).

If you don't mind telling, where did you pick up a pair of brand new controllers and for how much?  Did you get one controller / tap combo (PI-PD11) and one controller (PI-PD12), or did you just get two combos?

he probably bought them on ebay for $118.00

[offsidewing]

Nope.  I have a man on the ground in Toyko.  $122 shipped.  Nice sleuthing though.
