Genesis / Mega Drive to Japanese PC Adapter

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
    $4.38
