I had not touched my Dreamcast in a while, so the other day, I decided to fire it up and play some Street Fighter III. However, moments into starting a match, I suddenly remembered how much I HATE the Dreamcast controller (in my opinion, it's one of the worst controller designs ever devised...)
The cause of the hate? Two things:
1.) That accursed double VMU plug on the controller. Darn thing is large, and when I hold the contrlller, my fingers get crunched against it, and they get raw from rubbing against it after playing for a while.
2.) The really stupid bottom placement of the controller wire. Not as big a problem as the VMU, but still annoying just the same.
So I decided to rectify those problems once and for all.
Now Presenting the VMU-less/properly corded Dreamcast controller!
Looks nice up top...
Still a little rough around the edges, but that's not a big deal since the point of this was to make the controller more functional (for what I'm using it for).
Although, I was actually thinking about grinding down the edges some more and painting it...but that's a projekt for some other time.
It may lack the ability to save games now, but that's a non-issue when it comes to playing fighting games like SFIII and what not.
ya'll must have huge ass hands or hold the controller with a deathgrip or something
