Sega genesis controllers with usb adapter in xubuntu?

[gtzanakis]

Dear all,

I have some genesis controllers lying around and I was thinking about going old school with some

emulator on my xubuntu machine. So, I found this on amazon:

Do you think that should work? If you have any experiences or guess about this, I'd be glad to

know.



Thanks a lot in advance..

First off, I've moved this thread to Emulators.
Where others who would know more about how to use that would more likely find it.

Second, I don't use that controller, but have a similar setup for my PS2 controller, and, aside from some initial tweaking per emulator controls, works perfectly.
So I don't see any major problems.
Of course like I said, don't have those controllers, so don't know what to expect.

Judging by the customer reviews below your link gtzanakis Linux has trouble reading some inputs. This may have been corrected in a kernel update or it may not. To be honest there are plenty of gamepads that can recreate your genesis experience just as well and work well within Linux.
