Title: Genesis > PC
Post by: Vorde on August 25, 2005, 05:48:39 AM
Hello,
I noticed today that my Genesis controller uses a serial port for a connection. I was like "Woah! Maybe if I can find the drivers to use it then I can use my genesis controller on my computer!"
Sadly, to no avail. I couldn't find info on it anywhere. I'm not sure if it's possible so this may be quite a stupid question but are there any drivers that'll allow me to use my genesis controllers on my PC?
Thanx!

The genesis controlers are not serial devices. Sorry. It just uses the same D-sub 9-pin female plug.

No... but if you use a simple diagram you can connect that genesis pad to your Parallel port (printer port)!
