Title: PC Engine controller to USB
Post by: SuperPlay on January 16, 2011, 07:01:55 AM

Hi

I have a Hori Arcade Stick and I would like to connect this to my PC via USB.

Retro Kits have a USB kit for the TurboGrafx

Will this work with a Japanese controller? Will the pin outs be different?


Or will the following be a better option?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I use a retro kits with my US turbo pads and sticks. It works well, but the turbo switches dont really work. They do but its so slow its useless, If you use a stick with the turbo sliders, that works when you slide them to max because i think the sticks turbo a little faster then the pads.
Anyway, if you look at what wire goes where from the US pad you should have no trouble putting the matching wire in that location from a jap pad. That information must be on the internet somewhere. :)

Thanks for the pointer :-)

I have had another look around the interweb and have come across the following:
