Title: NES USB adapter (Mega Man)
Post by: hoobs88 on December 28, 2012, 07:43:53 AM

I recently downloaded the free Mega Man vs. Street Fighter game for the 25th anniversary http://www.capcom-unity.com/mega_man and I purchased this adapter so I could use a NES controller to play it. When the package arrived, there were 2 adapters inside. I only need 1 so I'm offering the spare to whoever wants it. Hopefully, you use it to play Mega Man and can give me some advice on how to defeat Vega.

Bernie, I have your address from one of our previous transactions. If your address changed, PM me with your new one. If not, I'll package it up and bring it to the Post Office tomorrow.

Bernie deserves this! (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

GENERAL QUESTION: So, where should I purchase one of these bad boys? I'd pay for quality build over cheap build.

I found these Retro-Bit adapters on ebay and Amazon (they can probably be found on some other sites too). One vendor on Amazon had the best price so I ordered them from there. I was able to apply my Discover Card Cashback Bonus towards the purchase so they didn't cost me anything!

After not booting into Windows for almost a year I deleted that partition. Then this thing comes along...

I'm on a Mac, but I'm talking about Megaman. I already have SNES and Saturn USB pads, both would be great for this game. I'm kind of surprised they actually made it an .exe instead of something that runs in a browser.
