OK a great console, I do think the second best after NEO GEO for 2D stuff, which is why it beats me why they never released a nice sturdy, microswitched stick!! The latest jap pads are superb, but they are still PADS! So what do u saturn guys use? I am after getting some joysticks (prob 6 button) converted to work on the saturn... Or was there ever a PS to Saturn device, allowing you to use PS pads/sticks on the Saturn? If not what sticks would you get converted and is it a big job???

The official Virtua sticks are pretty nice, they are quite heavy with a sturdy metal base...
Example:

I'd try one of those before committing to a conversion job...

Hori SS fighting sticks are the finest sticks you'll find. Very similar to the Hori fighting sticks for the neo, microswitched with 8 buttons and individual auto for each button. Built like a tank too.

Wow, 25.000 yen for a stick is a bit expensive, I just hope it is really that great.

I don't think there are adaptors Saturn/PSX . Converting any type of controller to work with Saturn would be kinda difficult, unless you "canibalize" a saturn controller. I posted a lot of links about this some das ago, make a search for user 1988.

In any case I would just try to get any Saturn stick, there are a lot of them.

Good luck.
