gorfcadet Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Do you guys think it would be safe to use the bluetooth dongle with the 7800? I don't want to cook my ports or anything, so I thought I'd ask the folks who know about the guts of the system. Didn't know if the bluetooth would pull too much juice from the port. If it works, that would be awesome. My kids love to run in front of me when I'm recording footage or just trying to relax. I'm planning on running it through my SEGA to 7800 adapter for 2 button game use. Edited February 8, 2019 by gorfcadet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Bluetooth is so low-powered it shouldnt hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm curious as to how this works, being a fan of 8Bitdo's products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Ill be sure and report back when I get a chance to test it out. Ill use their SEGA pad and also see if the dongle plays nice with their N30 arcade stick on the 7800 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 This is the first I've heard of this product. How exactly would it work with the 7800? Admittedly, I know nothing about this product outside of a quick glance at the website, but it says it works for Windows, MacOS, Android, Steam, Nintendo Switch and Raspberry Pi. No reference to the original Sega Genesis hardware. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reference to the original Sega Genesis hardware. Am I missing something? There are probably multiple versions. I pre-ordered also. this is the one he's talking about https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB1XFQW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 my plan is to use that and the edladdin adapter Edited February 8, 2019 by rocketmonkey101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Oh cool! Yeah, oddly that's not on their own website. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 They sell it as a Bluetooth only controller and also with the dongle for original hardware like the 8bitdo SNES dongle. Im hoping this will be a go. Id like to program or rewire a controller with shoulder L/R buttons for use with Baby Pac-Man so the flippers will be in the right place. I know, Im a weirdo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
