Description:
Use these professionally made, 2 meter long cables to connect your Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controllers to your Japanese PC.
How it works:
This adapter rewires the Sega’s DE-9 connector for compatibility with Japanese PC joystick ports. The controller will show up as a 2 button pad. Start and select are not supported, since they are registered by pressing left+right and up+down. This is not possible using a passive cable, and requires serial data manipulation. Genesis/Mega Drive 3 and 6 button controllers supported, but both only allow for 2 action buttons.
- B = left action button
- C = right action button
Supported devices:
- MSX
- Sharp X68000
- FM Towns
- NEC PC-88
- NEC PC-98
