The production quality you put into your videos is amazing!!
I love your videos man, I've only got one Brook converter so far and that is the ps3/4 to ps2 converter and it works flawlessly
Another great video! Appreciate the content!
Man I love these videos
Thank you for this review!
I am familiar with brook converters, but wanted to confirm the arcade stick compatibility
Very cool converter, I’d be all over it if I had a PC Engine.
I like how you went over input delay in the video because that is super important to me. In fact if you wanted to do a video in the future about getting better input lag out of your consoles or pc, I’d be all over it.
Thanks for the feedback. I will certainly keep that in mind for future reviews!
On par with my life in gaming videos as far as look and editing is concerned. Very high quality videos dude keep it up
Thanks! Just wait till we pull out all the stops
Cant wait for that pvm goodness. If you need help with anything let me know
Your content is killer. This video had me sub because of the quality of the video. Also, whoever does your editing, I'll give them a cookie.
Shout out to the MAS Stick appearance.

Hey! I am watching all of your videos one by one atm. I really ike your video style and already have learned a lot about arcade sticks. As I am a huge NES enthusiast I would reeeeeeally love to see a video dedicated to the popular kind of simple arcade sticks which came out for NES, SNES, Mega Drive/Genesis and so on. Maybe a comparison, a mod or just a close look from someone with arcade stick experience. Just a thought... ;-)

Well sir you are in luck...my next episode is going to cover the Famicom Ascii Stick (AS-2088-FC). The best arcade stick for the NES in my opinion when modded or using an adapter
@@ScanlineCity Well, that sounds promising! I am looking forward to it!
Love this review, Thank You!
Thanks!
I would love to see a video of your favorite retro Shoot Em Ups as well as your favorite sticks to play them with !
Dude that sounds cool. I'm down!
I love your videos, the style and clarity is top notch! Would you consider doing some videos on those bada$$ Sony BVM’s? A video on your setup would be sick too!
Thank you!!!! I'm certainly planning on it. Many more monitors then what is seen as well.
This is really neat! I elected to use a third-party 6 button Genesis controller and soldered a 20 pin harness directly to the pads. When I feel like playing Genesis I just plug it into my retro Brooks board and go. It's a little bit more hassle but in exchange I can use it on my Atari 2600 as well.
That sounds awesome. Do you have a tutorial online that you can recommend, so I can tackle this as well? Thanks!
Dude.... Give us a room tour. Looks amazing and clean.
I assume you know that this works with the PC-Engine MINI series of consoles too? There's a vid on YT that shows how to set it up, and I ordered mine after I got the ore GrafX Mini console, and I can now use my Venom PS3/PS4 arcade stick with it flawlessly. Great product and great vid (new subscriber!)
this video made me buy one
Glad I saw this video.
Just bought a modded PC engine and wanted a wireless solution.
8 bitdo hasn't made PC engine wireless controllers with a PC engine port.
Other than the ones for the tg 16 mini.
Grest review. Does the adapter work when it's connected to PC Engine Multitap?
Thank you for making this video. I wonder if pro gamers use this adapter.
i would like to use a PSX controller with this adapter, is there a way to do it (like casading another adapter in the USB port) ?
Could you connect a retrobit wireless sega saturn controller to the USB port so it can work with pc engine games? I don't like PlayStation controllers because of their dpad.
Hello, anyone got input issue with d pad ? directional arrows move itself on my 2 official controllers dualshock 3. Firmware updated already and didn't fix the problem
So I ended up picking up this converter because I'm using the Brooks Wireless fighting board in my arcade sticks. So I've just been having a fantastic Wireless experience. Lol. I would love to see you do a video on the Brooks Wireless fighting board as well. Fun side note I've been using the mayflash multi system wireless adapter with the super converter to use my 8bitdo Bluetooth 6 button Sega Genesis controller on the PC engine. :)
Could you link me to the specific mayflash adapter you're using? Would love to use my M30 on my PC Engine wirelessly!
@@ChadTi99 it's the mayflash magic-NS wireless adapter. It's a gray USB stick with USB pass-through. Just make sure when you use it it's in PS3 mode which has a blue light. it works great with my 8bitdo controllers. You have to test apple and Nintendo switch mode to see which one gives you the better result. I can also confirm that the Brooks PS2 adapter works with the mayflash adapter so you can use the 8bitdo controllers on PS 1 and 2 now. and I recommend you subscribe to my UA-cam channel cuz I'm going to be doing a bunch of videos on it. Lol :)
Forever Winter Will this allow me to use my M30 wirelessly or will I need to have it connected via USB? Def subscribing!
@@ChadTi99 definitely Wireless. But USB is also valid.
Forever Winter Awesome!
Based Brook gods. Great video!
What is that side-scroller sword slashing game that's featured a few times?
Have you ever try more than 1 controller? Is it have way to connect 2 or more?
The latest firmware to this adapter lets you use six-button for the PC Engine.
PS, there's the one that lets you use the USB controller on the NES and SNES...
Converters rock!
Most defiantly, I have them all
This is a great channel! Will this work with Brook's Universal Fighting Board?
It certainly does! Tested it myself
Can you cover the bvm/pvms in the background?
This works with 8bitdo wireless pc engine controller?
Need that hat!
Great Video, can u do a review on brook's retro board?
Planning on it!
I totally agree best way to play the excellent shmups library of PCE and MD/Genesis is with arcade sticks. I use one of your featured legendary sticks (Konami Hyperstick) with Tototek so I'm wondering why you dissing it? Personally, I think it works really well. How would you rather have the buttons configured or mapped differently? Also, it'd be great if you could compare objectively the latency of the two adapters using test suite to see which performs better.
Honestly, I don’t mean to dis it. It does work decent for the most part and its cheap. And in the case of SHMUPS you typically only need 2-3 buttons, so layout does not matter as much. I do wish it had the traditional 6 button street fighter layout such as the Brook Duo here where Cross=A, Circle=B, R1=C, Square=X. Triagle=Y, and R2=Z. However, I completely understand why each adaptor did what they did including the brook 3 button layout - because they are better layouts for modern gamepads with 4 face buttons. When you think about an original genesis pad - its really the same 6 button layout as an arcade stick. That’s why you can’t go wrong with the traditional street fighter layout - you will never find yourself with a badly designed button map. As I mentioned in the video though I hope Brook gives us a layout where the ABC are mapped to the square, Triangle and R1 since most games are in fact only 3 buttons. If you love the Tototek, keep using it dude!
I’d love to see a version that supports more controllers. I’m not a Sony man myself, so this almost scratches the itch for me but not quite.
Today I learned about the Mas Multi Arcade Systems Super Pro Stick via three seconds of footage and a smidgen of narrator context =3
Entire MAS episode is coming soon!
The only fault is that you can't use an Edladdin Seagull 78 or a RetroGameBoyz Gen2A52 with this Brook Adapter connected to your fight stick. You still need a padhacked Genesis OCB to access those.
Double translations usually do not work, especially from 2 different companies. This is par for the course
This adaptor seems ok, but it sounds like they didn't implement 6 button PC Engine support? Or was this just a review oversight?
when play master system games on megadrive the converter is not working, have someone found this problem? wtf?
I didn't find any info on google but this should also work on the Amiga since Mega Drive controllers work on it
Great video! Can you test a Switch Pro controller wirelessly? I’m getting some lag that makes it unplayable. Wireless PS3 controllers are fine though.
For sure. Iv give it a shot and see what I find
Oh man, I wish you mentioned the Hori Fighting Stick Multi! It’s a great option that works with PC Engine, Genesis, and SNES. Just an alternative instead of using an adapter I’d recommend.
I actually don't like that controller much but I do like many of the other hori fighting sticks. But if you like it thats an awesome choice!
Just for the fun of it, have you ever thought to try the adapter on an Atari 2600? Just to see if it works. cheers.
Anyone knows if this adapter works with the brook universal fighting board? Set up : Megadrive to this brook adapter to brook universal fighting board via USB cable to arcade cabinet control panel?..
Yes it does. I use it in this video
I wish there was a simple wired adapter for the genesis 6 button controller to plug into my Core Grafx
How do you feel about HitBox and the rise in popularity it has? Apparently Daigo Umehara has moved to HitBox as his main controller. Does this make normal fightsticks obsolete? Like the Hori VLX?
Well that’s certainly an interesting question as it really depends on why you play these kinds of games in the first place. For many people it’s all about winning, be it online or in tournaments. For me it’s all about fun and nostalgia…getting together with friends and feeling like your 8 years old again in the arcade. For me nothing will ever replace arcade sticks because that’s what everyone including myself played on in the glory days. If performance and winning is all that matters then perhaps hitbox will be the way to go as they progress. It’s similar to the emulation vs real hardware argument. In many cases you can make the argument that emulation is superior on paper, such as resolution and more recently latency reduction. However, I always prefer real hardware because it always gives me a stronger sense of nostalgia and is consequently MORE FUN.
@@ScanlineCity Thank you for your responses. I appreciate your willingness to talk to your audience. All the best to getting your Diamond Play Button :)
Hello!
Works with 8bitdo PCE controllers?
I like to know too
Thx for sharing ,i m in vancouver ,bron in hk, i do have all these sticks but in vancouver BC no one understand me ...i m alone
Did you mod micro sanwa buttons into your HRAP 3 SE menu buttons?
I found some cheap micro buttons on amazon and ebay and yes I replaced the stock menu buttons. I had to carefully drill the holes a bit wider but it came out really clean!
@@ScanlineCity Hopefully they patch in PC Engine 3 and 6-button support for this thing. Why didn't they do it to begin with?
USB/serial to paralel type of interface? that would introduce input lag, it could be minimal but still not the same as using an original controller, I went with a MC Cthulhu installed inside an old HRAP3.
Certainly agree. Though by my test I'm only seeing a few ms. Roughly 2 to 4ms which is not noticeable in my opinion especially on low latency display
I also don't believe the MC Cthulhu supports Genesis. Unless you know something I don't perhaps?
Scanline City Neither the MC Cthulhu, PS360+ nor the Retro Board supports Genesis/MD natively. You are correct in the video.
@@ScanlineCity a bit late, sorry, but none of those pcbs will ever support the Sega Genesis or Master system since the input protocol for those systems is an "evolution" (more like a hack) of the old atari input protocol which consists in thinkering with the logic of he multiplexer IC found in the Genesis pads.
What I have done to add Megadrive support to my cthulus is to add a 74HC157's in line of the data/clock/V+ signals activated by an on/off switch so I can switch back and fort between multiplexed and well,.... non multiplexed IO...
cool, but pretty pricey ($60) for a single adapter. the real question is, can you plug in two (or more) at the same time?
Yes you can I believe
@@ScanlineCity cool. I got a converter that let me run my X-arcade stick on my genesis, but it only worked one player (it wouldn't work when plugged into the 4 player adapter either).
Works with brook universal pcb ?
Yup!
@@ScanlineCity thanks
6:30 ...did you just say twenty PVM and BVMs? 😮🤤
...yeah it's a problem haha
So I can use my 8bitdo Arcade N30 Stick with this?!
strange.. I mean for the Megadrive / genesis you have the Sega Genesis 6-button Arcade Stick ??!!
Of course the JAPANESE version and not the US / Euro version, with the shit** joystick.
You also have nice joystick for the PC engine. Saying that those joysticks are crap... well.... it's up to you.
Do you want to play with the real thing (I'm THAT kind of player...)
Or do you like to play with "copies", ersatz ?
Of course those joysticks are now pretty pricey, in 2019..... but for me , using converter is a no go : LATENCY is the key word !
And I will NEVER understand fighting players using wireless controllers... that's silly to me.
Bluetooth is absolutely awful to play with.... sure it's convenient, if you are a casual gamer. but for an average gamer.. no way !
