Give this man a cookie! So simple yet a great way to test a controller.

Exactly. Since I use the PCE mouse exclusively, I have been unable to try out this neat little utility.

I play all games with PCE mouse.

Granted, I don't make it past the title screen for most games, but I have my principles.

When you or nullity send me your damn pachinko controllers, I'll happily use MY NEW PACHINKO controllers in addition to the PCE mouse.

There was a time once when I was new in Japan, the only PCE pad I had was the Pachinko controller...

I think you are teasing us. However, I love imagining you, of all people, playing Blodia with PachiPad.

Not teasing at all!  I actually wrote about this in the "Memories of Japan" story in Courage

And I did in fact play Blodia on a Pachinko controller, over RF, on a small crappy broken TV, because it was all I could use for a while.
