An Xbox to dreamcast converter?

[Aryudsoh]

How about an Xbox to Dreamcast converter? (And one that actually supports the Dreamcast arcade stick!).

The Xbox pads are awful for almost all games. For fighting games they just induce blisters! How about releasing a linker for xbox that supports dreamcast controllers?

I've been looking for a converter like this for ages but nobody makes one.

Don't know if you've seen it before but there is a converter called Magic Box 3-in-1 which will convert ps/ps2, dreamcast and saturn pads to xbox. However it only works for 4 buttons of the arcade stick (I'm guessing you'll want to use all 6!)

I purchased one thinking it would work with my dreamcast arcade stick but it only worked with four buttons which kind of made it a pointless purchase for me. However it works pretty well with regular dreamcast pads and if you have a saturn pad it works well with those too. Only problem is that they don't make them anymore!

To sum it up it DOES support the dreamcast arcade stick but NOT all 6 buttons! If you do find anything that does then post it here to let others know.

I think the point that Aryudsoh is making is that nothing out there that converts xbox to dreamcast supports the Dreamcast arcade stick. If he wanted to use a dreamcast pad any google search would show the magicbox converter. The point is that there is no option for all of the fighting game fans out there that bought their dreamcasts for all of the last great 2d fighters that want to play the new generation of fighting games on their xboxes. I'm surprised a converter like this hasn't been released until now. I've seen numerous threads about this over the years with dreamcast owners all complaining about the same problem.

Well, compare to PS2 / GC / Wii or other consoles, Xbox and DC user are much less. I think that's the reason.

Although I also love to use the DC arcade stick, but I don't think I could use it on PS3 / Wii / Xbox360
