    ask pat/stalwart
    he has one, he can tell u where to get one or sell u his!

    also, on virtua on, on saturn. im pritty sure both turbo buttons are the same, ie there is no "left turbo" or "right turbo" comand like there is on VO on DC!

    yeah, steve tu told me pat has one too, thanx, i wonder if it works with other periphials, coz some pad convertors only work with pads, i had one from PS2 to DC and my namco stick didnt seem to work for it.

    there seems to be 2 turbo buttons and 2 trigger buttons, in VO1, turbo wasnt used in colabaration with standard moves whatsoever so the command was the same on each, i sure hope it can still configure to DC buttons, logically i dont see why not tho.

    Go to lik-sang or play-asia or ncsx or toysnjoys and search for the Total Control 3 converter. That's the only converter that works properly with Saturn VO sticks. It has a pause/start button on it because DC VO sticks have their own start button which is needed to perform certain special moves.

    I never got VO sticks....sniff. Lucky bastard. /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

    what i ment is in VO1, both buttons are just "Turbo"
    in VO-OT they are "Left Turbo" and "Right Turbo"

    That's right, but at the end of the day, it all depends on how the turbo buttons are wired up internally. If the Saturn twinsticks output each turbo button as a separate/distinct signal, then it should be OK. But if they're both output as the same signal (which is all the original VO required), then I don't know how it would work with VOOT.

    I guess it shouldn't be too hard to google around for people's opinions and reports on using this stick with VOOT, in case there is any doubt.

    Yeah Bk Pat had 2 back in the day and I bought one off him, they are specially designed for use with the Saturn Twin sticks as there is a switch especially for them, from what I remember he got them from Raven Games =con artists, I would ask Pat if he wants to sell his but I just got up and it seems he's now just left my house /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

    yeah myke, i was afraid of that too reading random's first post (dont worry james i know what u meant) - that could happen, it would be a really pointless thing to build in the first place logically /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

    thanks to olie and shag -- hey shag, i basically found it on the shelf in japan for the equivalent of 3 pounds in UK money, LOL --- i didnt even find it, it found me!

    but yeah, the DC sticks were really pricey on it's launch that's the only reason why i didnt get them when i should have. - well, only way to test it is to test it.
