The X-arcade tankstick has arcade-grade joysticks and buttons. It's built like a tank just like the arcade cabs from then 80-90's. You can buy little adapters for it so it can be used with multiple consoles. You could even try to make your own adapters.

Adapters include ps1,2,3 , wii,gamecube,wiiU (that one is new

), dreamcast, xbox, xbox360 and dreamcast. There are even adapters for android and iOS devices!

It's not real sanwa though, but you can mod it with a set of sanwa buttons and joysticks if you're really picky. I might eventually build my own arcade joystick with a set of sanwa buttons and a microcontroller.

I tend to avoid third-party gamepads and joysticks at all cost, though, because they always stop working within one month of use. This has happened with every third-party SNES and PS1 gamepad I got, regardless of the brand.

Well the snes arcade sticks I got for €2,50 are not the best but they are the only arcade-ish stuff I got and they were too cheap to pass on.

New shelves:

Looks very nice. I should look into getting new ones myself, although they would have to be really huge due to all the SNES games lol (a lot of which are boxed).

This is all of the stuff I had to store away in my closet because I did not have space to put it on display. My dad brought in these super old and ugly brown shelves. It's perfect for retro games. It has its charm.

Yeah in my case plenty of retro games are located in a storage bin, while almost all the Xbox 360, Wii and Wii U games are hidden in a drawer. My collection just grew to insane proportions over the last 12 years. I guess it's good that many games are in-demand classics, since one day, if me and my bro ever gave up completely on gaming or something, we could possibly get a decent amount of money from those games.

On a side note, I just got another Sega Genesis gamepad (3 buttons, though), F-Zero Maximum Velocity for the GBA and After Burner for the Sega Master System.

I only have games that use 3 buttons. What is the 6 button pad like?

Like this:

It also has that turbo switch.

The 6 button is for fighting games mainly. Otherwise Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat are a PITA to play (from what I've heard).

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #250 on:** September 16, 2013, 06:07:32 pm »

Ah I see. I assume that the 6 button gamepad came out later, right, and that older fighting games will work fine with the other gamepad?

Also someone tried to beat Sonic with an Atari joystick once.

(since we can plug Atari controllers into a sega console or vice-versa)

TIfanx1999 · « **Reply #251 on:** September 16, 2013, 06:11:01 pm »

Yea, the six button one came out later. In Street fighter II if you have the 3 button controller a,b, and c are your punches. You have to hit start to switich between punches and kicks...

In Mortal Kombat start was originally used for block(on the 3 button controller) I think it's different on the 6 button.

I just bought metroid prime 2 echoes for €10 inc.shipping. Too bad the owner did not mention the broken case

(like they never do)

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #253 on:** September 17, 2013, 03:43:12 pm »

Good find. Too bad about the broken case, though. Also on Ebay be careful about stock photos. Sometimes people just re-use photos from previous sellers. This happened to me when I bought Solaris brand new for the Atari 2600, although in my case it was for the best: The picture clearly showed damage on the side of the box (it was crushed), but finally, the one I got wasn't crushed and instead just had a little hole through the plastic seal. Still, it shows that pics aren't always accurate.

It was a piece chipped from the top so it would not show up on any picture.
