It's a fairly similar built quality to the RetroLink Gensis controller we bought in the last chapter, the buttons give the same rattle if you shake the controller, but for gameplay it works great, the d-pad is responsive, and for such an insanely low price (less than £4!) it's great value for money, and plug-and-play.

While it's not the most expensive feeling device, I've had no issues with it for 2 plus years. I have actually have had a Sega Saturn usb controller for a number of years, so I already know what I'm working with. Sega even realeased their own usb version for a while due to how much demand there was for it. It's small, ergonomic and usb versions are plentiful. A decent D-Pad, six face buttons perfect for most styles of games, and shoulder buttons. The Sega Saturn Model 2 controller is often considered one of the best joypads ever invented. I loved my Saturn, and have a lot of nostalgia for it, it's exclusives and hardware were great and this was one of the first consoles I planned to emulate in this project.Ĭhoosing our controller is quite an easy one this time around. Initially successful, the Saturn's biggest downfall was it's complexity, it was a nightmare to program for, and Sony's PlayStation was easier to program for, and had growing numbers, the PlayStation outsold the Saturn by two-to-one in 1996. It had 8 processors, and considered more powerful than the Playstation. So far we've emulated the NES, the SNES, and the Genesis/Mega Drive using 3rd party controllers that adequately re-creates the original console experience, with emulators that successfully emulates thousands of Sega and Nintendo games accepting input from the USB controller selected.įor more of an intro and for my recommendations on configuring the Alpha itself please read Part 1.įor those not fully familiar with the Sega Saturn, it was the biggest rival of the Sony Playstation. Thanks for joining us for Console Emulation on the Alienware Alpha
