Or, you could hack one controller from each of the 'older' systems like this, and build an arcade-style joystick that had a db9 for the connector. Then you could use it on any of your other systems, by plugging it into the hacked controllers :-)

yeah that's what I was trying to say :)

Kickass Famicom controller!

3DO controllers have a headphone jack too. I always thought that was nifty, even if it is dorky!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

It used to be a NES controller but now it is a fully functional Turbo Duo/PCE controller with headphone jack and custom "Bee-otch" label.

So, it does pass audio somehow through the controller?  Sounds like an opportunity to combine a virtual cushion with a turbo pad and make a Turbo-rumble Pad!

By the way...  the pad is one honest to goodness RAGS - to - RICHES story!  Sweet Bee-Otch!

The audio goes through the controller as if it were a headphone jack extension cord.

Turbo rumble cushion would be awesome!

Here's another weird one; http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/133996915

Apparantly that's a PL-PD 001.  I don't know if that's just the original PCE model (it's not marked on the controller) or whether this is a prototype.

PI-PD001 is just the white one without turbo that came with the original white pce

Right, I see.  At least putting it into that context, the PL-PD3 makes sense.  The PL-PD8 still doesn't :/
No they still don't make sense, and I don't want to think about it any more!

Its definitely a pass through and it works.

The headphone jack on the other hand, does not work.

I wonder if its really a link port so I can hook my sgfx up to an Express and play gimpy two player disasters. lol.

If that is the case, f*ck YES.

If not, i just spent 30$ on a pad with a feature I don't want.

who needs sega pads when you have duo pads.   Thats like sitting on a lawn chair instead of a leather sofa.

Hi Arkhan

When you say "pass through" do you mean to connect a MegaDrive/GEnesis pad or is it just a link port for another PCE controller?

Just curious ;-)

I'm assuming so.  One feature MAY be the use of a decent, cheap 6 button stick, but I'm not sure if/how that would work

pass through with a DB9, which is the atari 2600/sega genesis/sms/c64/amiga/etc connector

I tested it.  I used a 6 button sega controller. 

so thats cool, I suppose.

I still need to figure out what/how the bottom port works.

Nice!  you could just take it apart and see where it's wired - should only be 6 phillips screws.

Well, it probably wasn't done so that the guy could use shitty OEM Sega pads. It was probably done to accommodate some sort of arcade stick, possibly home made.

my 3DO pads are D9 plugs with pass-through and audio
