Forums - Gaming Discussion - I got my Saturn pad working on PS3!!!

cool and clever, didnt even know you could get thoose sorts of adapters.

Well the MarigBox converter that converts the saturn pad to xbox is sold out everywhere. I was lucky to get it in 2004...infact im looking for another one and am willing to pay good money...but it cost 19.99 plus shipping.

The xbox to ps2 adapter is 14.99 at play asia and most other places, and ps2 to ps3 is 9.99 everywhere. So for like...50 bucks lets say + saturn pad...you got...a ps2 saturn pad :) 

 

The 360 saturn conversion was a lot more costly. I got the XFPS converter (ps2 to xbox 360 plus keyboard and mose) for 90 bucks plus shipping and then xbox to ps2 converter...etc...

I wish these console makers learned to make good Dpads already...

Wow, that's a pretty ingenius way of getting your Saturn pad to work on the PS3. I think it would be a good way of getting it to work on the PS2 (minus that last adapter), but wouldn't have been easier to get the "PC Magic Box" instead?

Product Features:

  • Convert your PS1, PS2, Sega Saturn or Dreamcast joypad, racing wheel, dancing controller.... to be used on PC computer.

It converts it straight to USB, so it should be compatible with the PS3, right?

I know it won't work for the 360, but your method is good for use with the XFPS (minus that last adapter )

 

I'm still looking at picking up an XFPS to use for my 360. I just picked up a Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 SA PS2 arcade stick(with the actual arcade buttons/joystick) for about ~$100 from the Hori store.

and I've been playing my PS2 games with it, but I would like to use it with my 360 too! It would be nice to be able to use Saturn pads on it, too if I could

I did this for my PC, but not with a saturn remote but a PS1 remote.

I can play with almost every controller imaginable on my xbox360 (everything I get working on my PC I will get working on my 360).



WoW awesome im so happy someone figured this out, Im working on getting the final adapter for this setup, thanks for the info, U da man!



Why on Earth would you spend so much time making that puny controller work on a PS3 when you could have been working with this frisbee beauty?
