ReddMcKnight Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hey all. I bought a 3DO Controller, but after I bought it, I noticed that it was from Japan, which leads me to my question: Will it work on an NTSC-U 3DO? I ask this because I know 3DO Controllers use a voltage kind of thing, which is why Genesis Controllers won't work on it, and will fry it in fact. Here's the controller in question: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It'll work fine; 3DO controllers are designed the same across all regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes, it will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Both hardware and software (with the exclusion of like 7 titles in Japanese using specific Kanjis) works on any 3DO from any region by any manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I had one of those. I didn't like it. I actually prefered the stock controller. Then again, about all I ever played was Need For Speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Being that it's Capcom, I think it's made especially to play SFII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Being that it's Capcom, I think it's made especially to play SFII. Yep. IIRC, the 3DO had the first home port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatta Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Are there any other 6 button 3do pads? That one's a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Are there any other 6 button 3do pads? That one's a little strange. Yes, but I doubt that many others will "work" with Street Fighter. The button that acts as your medium-strength punch is the P(ause) button, and this Capcom pad's the only six-button I've seen that places that button where you need it to be. Most pads put it in the center of the controller, and have X/Cancel (which pauses SF2) up in that position among the action buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What about the games? What do other games that use the 6-button think the Middle Punch button is? P or X? The 3DO fight stick from Panasonic have the middle punch as P, not X. Street Fighter wants the P. What do other games want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3DO fight stick from Panasonic have the middle punch as P, not X. Street Fighter wants the P. What do other games want? The reason I am asking is because I am getting a custom fight stick made, and was wondering were there enough games that used the X button as an auxiliary and the P as pause where it would be wiser to put X in the middle punch position, or enough of both types where a switch is advisable. I'm planning ahead. Are there enough games where X is the preferred controller in the "middle punch slot"? I'm afraid of accidentally pausing in a game, and think maybe P should be put to the side as a pause button should be. if nothing else, a switch might be handy for that. Therefore mapping X to it would prevent premature pausing. I heard Primal Rage is one. Any others? Or am I being too much of a worrywart and should use the MP=P standard used in the Panasonic Joystick? Samurai Shodown uses 4 buttons. Which 4? A, B, C, and maybe L or R.

Austin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Do a switch. You want both P and X to be usable there if you want to play every fighting game on the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripletopper Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The reason why I'm looking for a PCB wiring is becuase the 3D Zero SNES adapter doesn't accurately do one of the 5 games I own. PaTaank is the one where the controller acts funny no matter where in the chain it is, even if it's the only controller in the chain. I would get a tototek, except I have 2 problems wit it. 1, no dasiy chain, and 2, needs to configurable so that P and X can eb middle punch.
