Re: Dreamcast Arcade Stick Compatibility List
Does the dreamcast actually recognize the digital signals of the arcade stick as different from the dc's gamepad? I was under the impression that the arcade stick worked with basically any game that didn't require you to use the analogue joystick, even if the packaging didn't mention that it was arcade stick compatible. Naturally, though, it wouldn't be fun to use with every game.

Re: Dreamcast Arcade Stick Compatibility List
You are probably right. Although when I first got my mayflash arcade stick I didn't know that. I thought it would work with every game. quickly found out otherwise. That's why I went looking to see what would work. I am now using zero delay encoders in a cabinet with sanwa clone joystick and buttons.dark wrote:I was under the impression that the arcade stick worked with basically any game that didn't require you to use the analogue joystick, even if the packaging didn't mention that it was arcade stick compatible.

Re: Dreamcast Arcade Stick Compatibility List
From Sega Retro:
Like the Sega Saturn and Virtua Stick before it, Dreamcast consoles do not recognise the Arcade Stick as a "special" controller, so, as with the standard controller, technically works with the vast majority of Dreamcast games. However, as the stick lacks analogue controls, many games are made more difficult, if not unplayable.
For example, in Sonic Adventure, characters are moved with the analogue thumb pad. This control scheme cannot be changed, so while the Dreamcast will happily let you try, it is impossible to play the game properly with an Arcade Stick.

I'm pretty sure I (successfully) tried Quake 3 with arcade stick/mouse combo back in the day...

Re: Dreamcast Arcade Stick Compatibility List
I found a few games that will recognize A, B, C, X, Y Z, L & R as independent buttons on an arcade stick when you use a Saturn controller/arcade stick with an adapter:
Guilty Gear X
Vigilante 8
NFL Blitz 2001
Omnikron: The Nomad Soul
Are there any others?

Re: Dreamcast Arcade Stick Compatibility List
Star War Demolition can be played with an arcade stick, as the D-Pad can be used to steer.
