Hi,
This post is related to Genny, don't worry !
While I was looking for some info on Virtua Gun, I discovered Saturn and Genny shared the same bus protocol

(Hi Chilly!)
At the same time, I read saturn dev doc where it's cleary defined the saturn was able to identify (and use) genny controller (3pad, 6pad and mouse)
I don't know if any saturn games currently support it (I doubt you can use it like a classic saturn pad without L/R) but it seems to valid the "same protocol" point.
Charles told me some years ago it was possible to plug a Virtua Gun on a Genny. It should be see like a SMS Phaser (or a justifier).
Did someone actually try it ? Virtua Gun or anything else.
is it really as simply as rewire the connector ?!
If yes, I'm looking for a female saturn connector !!! any hint where to find one or is it a Sega (TM) ?
My next tech demo will be dedicated to the Twin Stick on Genny !
(I love this controller !)
