I know this is for Genesis, but would it also work with Sega Master System controllers as well? don't both the controllers have the same plug-in type?

As the other answer says, yes it should work just fine. They do all share the same plug and even the (relatively) same button mappings on an actual console. I don't own master system controllers, but I have used this with atari joysticks and it worked just fine.

It should. The SMS controllers have a similar and compatible pinout to the Genesis controller.Any controller that works on the old Atari Standard pinout should work.Ive only run into a few controllers this didn't work with 100%, and they were all 3rd party turbo controllers.

I think so. I mean, I don't own (and I never had) an Master System controller, but since it works in the same way in a Sega Genesis I really think that this is possible.

It works, but you have to flip the switch on the bottom to "D". Some games may need Gamepad Companion, which will recognize the controller when it is switched to "D" and then let you map the buttons and joysticks to keyboard key presses and mouse movement.I just tried it with Solar 2, and the game detected it (in "D" mode) but all the buttons were mixed up and so it was nearly impossible to play. So you might have to use Gamepad Companion to map the buttons to keys to get around that for some games.

I'm not sure ,but there maybe a you tube video where someone test that issue I would suspect that any non licensed sega may possibly not work but, I own this it's more than worth it I use it everyday it's a must have with the games built in alone I don't even use the cartridge slot it's a great product I'm very happy with it

Yes, but it has plenty of bugs on Generations. I had to buy the Xbox controller for PC. When using a generic controller, Sonic strifes to the left uncontrollably.

Yes, it does work, it doesn't care what controller you're using, you just set up the controls through your emulator and play. No special configuring.

If your able to use any kind of controller for that game, which I'm almost sure of it, then yes this would work. Has worked for every game/emulator I have tried so far. It will recognize it as a connected controller/joystick device. It works great.

Unfortunately I own a Fein so unable to confirm whether compatible with Genesis. Regards, Dan R

No, it didn't work for me at all. I tried a multi console pad (wii/gc, xbox, psx/ps2) and it did not work at all. I also tried the DDR II dance pad from konami and it didn't work. I sent it back and got a refund.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

It works for anything, it's a regular gamepad that just so happens to look like a NES controller. The only thing you should consider seriously though is that mine had a button that completely didn't work (even after tinkering with the innards to try and fix this "new" item). A lot of us who bought these had problems with them and their shoddy craftsmanship, and I'd be a jerk to not mention this sorta' thing to any potential new buyers.

I've tried ZSNES and Winkawaks, I'll dare to say that will work fine with MAME, is plug and play, so all the buttons and sticks are ready to use as soon as you plug the Classic controller to the adaptor, I also have a PCEngine emulator but haven't tested it yet, but I'm sure it will work too.

no I believe the original xbox controller had a round plug similar to gamecube. there may be an additional adapter to convert to usb but the product in question only has a usb port and a ps2 controller port

I didn't look at the provided mini-CD, which I assume has the device drivers for Windows XP or earlier, because I don't have a DVD drive on my system and I've thrown out the CD. Someone else might be able to help you with that. There are a few free ones around the Internet, like joy2key, but I haven't used them personally. The MAME emulator seems to pick up and use the game controller just fine without them. I also only have a small number of PC games, but they either use XBox controller or can use the built-in Windows driver directly.

We haven't had any problems with it working in Win 7 64. It's recognized immediately as a game controller. Just FYI, from my review "There is a switch with "DP, LS, RS." This is so that the joystick can emulate either the D-pad, Left stick, or Right stick on the PS3 controller. You might have to change this switch dependent on the game."
