It has a 9 pin d-sub port in it...

Hmmm... So you can hook up your Sega Genesis / Mega Drive controller? :mrgreen:
-
What the hell?!? Is that a headphone jack on the bottom?

Huh, I though it was some random screw... Do the ports outpout sound in the first place?
It looks home-made anyway...

I queried the seller but he didn't know what they're for.

according to him they're all pl-pd8's anyway!

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it was for plugging a home made stick into it (ie: rather than sacrifice a pad for the PCB, keep it functional and usable).
Not sure about the think that looks like a headphone jack though. It would be nice if the guy would open it up.

This one definitely has a headphone jack on the bottom!

Yeah, but that's a FC controller, isn't it? "Joy Card" or some shit?
-
Why would anyone plug their headphones into their controller ?
Wouldn't it very easily rip the cord during operation /a round of Tatsujin ?
-
I was thinking about doing this with a pad actually. You could hack the controller for use in a cab or diy joystick box and then still use it in the system. If you do this with multiple systems you could just quickly connect them with a DIN cable

I can't think of a better place.

Maybe if you are some kind of wild animal with no self control, but if are at least responsible/sane enough to, say, hold down a job at Taco Bell, I think one's headphone cables would survive.
-
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 :-)
[ I think that's what elabit was trying to say....]

I have a Elecom JC100 JOYCARD for MSX. Two of em actually.
They're pretty nice little f*ckers. but the cord comes out the left side, so that is retarded.

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.

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

also,
ill let everyone know wtf it is. Im curious enough to blow 30$ on a controller thats probably retarded.
-
Kickass Famicom controller!
3DO controllers have a headphone jack too. I always thought that was nifty, even if it is dorky!
-

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 ;-)
Ta
-
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.

Kick-ass.

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

But they're still 3DO pads, lol.

yep great for playing gex and gridders
