They feel like SNES controllers, but the button layout is in the Gamecube style, so the button size difference may affect muscle memory. The Z-button is a bit out of the way as well. Hori D-pads feel a lot like SNES d-pads to me, which was used in their commander line of controllers.

Well some saves are worth keeping, as they may be memorable to the player. Like some custom creations in those Aki wrestling games, or a really cool replay of a difficult run. It may not mean much to others but it could be a snapshot of a time that was personally memorable.

Hey, I used that for a different thread. You could have used this image which is more appropriate for this thread with all the third-party accessories.

I am grateful for all the great new products that are made now by all the talented engineers which enhances the enjoyment I get from the games/systems I love. I can continue to enjoy the games for a long time to come without constraints. Less expensive PCB manufacturing, 3D printing, etc. has brought a glorious future. I just wish there was some of that talent around me that can fix/mod CRTs.

I used it extensively back then since GBA games were cheap and really filled out the library of the GameCube. It is like a SNES controller which is pretty comfortable for GBA titles for average sized hands. The Z button is a bit offset, so getting to the menu is a deliberate act.

Have a link for the XP driver? Will it work in 7?

I think there are a few, but I opted for the SNES-2-3DO since that is the least expensive one these days.

Ah, I should give it a try. The maker of FreeDO emulator is making the new ODE for the system.

I had a few Panasonic VCRs which were some of the highest quality electronics for a fair price. They didn't die but was disposed of just because it was outdated in replacements to DVD. I kind of regret that. I still utilize a Panasonic plasma TV which is great for sports watching, and these days Panasonic makes some of the better batteries for EVs. I'm just used to quality from Panasonic/Matsushita for all these years. Sega went with Victor/JVC for help with the disc medium, Nintendo partnered with Panasonic which helped in their designs for the Gamecube and Wii-U discs which was pretty good before they reverted back to a more solid media without mechanical moving parts, it was one of the better partners to run to when they don't want Sony's help and Sharp was mostly out of the picture.

They now make ones which uses microSD cards up to 1TB. It is costly but a space saver.
