I Tweeted at them the other day asking what was going on with the controllers and they gave me the same bit abut global shortages. They said when they had more to share they would update us.Not really the answer I hoped for.

@Anthony817

I saw this reddit post the other day. Apparently the first product is being produced. Is this the same developer you contacted?

I wonder if we ever get the full port replacement. That'd be great to just plug it and play with favourite wireless controller - without actually seeing that something is connected to Dreamcast!

Oh nice! Guess I'm just debating on whether or not to just buy the £20 dongle thing you can just plug into the front of the DC... its inexpensive and out now... hmmmm

DreamConn also suffers from massive lag and inconsistencies. This would be a godsend.

The only problems i can see with this are vmus, you'd still need to have an og controller and vm ready for when you want to load or save... I have begun to reconsider thid tbh in favour of waiting for a decent 3rd party wireless dc controller
