    @relo999 True, I didn't even think of that.
    The box lies though because it shows the controller having a swirl on it, but it doesn't.

  • @SwankeyMonkey

    I absolutely agree.
    I prefer my MadCatz MC2 wheel over my other DC wheels, by far. Especially with the easy fine tune adjustments to the wheel per game; wheel-max and dead-zone adjustments, and the throttle read out. Plus it feels so much better.
    I see so much hate towards MadCatz, but with all my DC peripherals, I can state in comparison that their DC peripherals were the better of the bunch.

  • @AdamKoralik
    @AdamKoralik  12 лет назад +1

    @darkarch757 I appreciate that.
    I've been working with them for a while. I don't know if you watch Beer and Board Games, but I'm the Beer Wench. I also had a guest part in an episode of Chad Vader Season 3, and for a spot in season 4 that we just shot.

    I was able to finally fix the VMU port on this Mad Catz Panther DC Flight stick by de-soldering and re-soldering on a new VMU connector from a beat up dreamcast controller. Now it works great!! I'll make a video on it soon. Glad i was able to do this since these are currently going up in value.

    For those who want to play FPS on Dreamcast, just get the mouse and keyboard. They are a much better alternative to the regular controller or crappy 3rd party controllers.

    Sooooooo, I was a tech support lead when the XL came out first for pc and then for dreamcast. We tried to get the controller working for a KISS game that came out on the dreamcast. I totally shit on the game while the producer was sitting behind me at e3 and had no idea

    • @That_Handle
      @That_Handle 3 года назад

      When looking through my PS2 titles for some shared-screen and split-screen MP, I came upon the Mad Catz Panther _PX_ being featured alongside the rest of the specs that are shown on back of MDK2:Armageddon for PS2 - similar to back when specific third-party and Sony controllers which were supported might be listed on the back of PS1 game cases. 👉 So how well did that work for MDK2 for PS2 and did it plug into a controller port, the USB port or, as is the case with their blaster light gun, both? Can't find any example of a Panther _PX_ (as stated on MDK2) online. They are all PC or XL. The reason for so much curiosity is wondering, when so few PS2 titles listed specific controllers outside of maybe a Logitech steering wheel or the guncon light gun, why did Mad Catz receive a specific listing in the specs and was that the mark of a well-designed but maybe niche controller the only really works with MDK2?

  • @Space-Holiday

    It doesn't look great visually but I'm sure it really helps out on those first person shooters... not having a second analog stick really let the Dreamcast down but Quake III Arena's controls are actually really comfortable

  • @AdamKoralik

    @zyniker88 Maybe because its Mad Catz?

  • @GregoryPunzo
    @GregoryPunzo 12 лет назад

    how would you compare this performance wise to the dreamcast keyboard and mouse when it comes to first person shooters? from the looks of it, aiming on a mouse and keyboard seems a heck of a lot easier than than all of that stuff. or does this controller basically enable a true 2nd analog control vs a keyboard only allowing you to go in 8 different directions?

  • @SwankeyMonkey
    @SwankeyMonkey 12 лет назад

    I love, LOVE the Panther Flight Stick. So many games are made better by that peripheral, and funny that all of them are not the ones listed on the box to try out. Those happen to be the lesser...
    Must try the Aerowings series, Bang! Gunship Elite, Incoming(!), Propeller Arena, REZ, Yu Suzuki Gameworks -(Afterburner, Space Harrier), and even Star Wars Pod Racer.
    Adam, the STANDARD MODE is best switched for most games. The PANTHER MODE is only good for a few games, enabling use of the track ball.

    Looks cool, but confusing to use. Speaking of getting stuff from ebay, I actually bought the Yujin Sr Sega History Collection recently, which is miniature versions of every Sega console ever made. I bought it specifically for the Dreamcast, although it is nice to have the other ones like the Genesis and the Saturn.

  • @SwankeyMonkey
    @SwankeyMonkey 12 лет назад

    I 100% agree.
    I think MadCatz got a bum rap because people think all 3rd party peripherals are cheap knockoffs. But I feel that they made some of the best gear for the Dreamcast. And even though their controller was the lesser of their peripherals, it was the best for mod/hacking because the MC controller PCB used a common-ground which allowed you to easily make custom arcade sticks for the DC instead of spending $150+ for the DC issued arcade sticks.
    If only they made Virtual-On twinsticks...

  • @straitJacketFashion

    Looks like a flight stick, if so could you use it with After Burner on Yu Suzuki Game Works
    'vol 1?' (was there ever a second volume).
    I've actually found that the Twin Stick controller for Virtual On functions pretty well with Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament, although it may be lacking in buttons.

  • @ProductionsHead
    @ProductionsHead 11 лет назад

    "It does require protocol I believe."
    Yeah, but the games that support "two joysticks" should work, are you aware MadCatz did make a dual analog controller? But the start button was an action button and there was only 2 front action buttons.
    So I am assuming it was purely just for the 4 games that supported it.

  • @Animated__Freak
    @Animated__Freak 9 лет назад

    The Dreamcast Controller isn't useless for fps shooters. Once you get used to moving with the buttons and aiming with the joystick it will be just fine for gaming, it just has a learning curve. And honestly if you really want to use good FPS controlls on the Dreamcast you can get a keyboard and mouse for a good price. This looks like another MadCatz "fix" from the sixth generation. It would have been cooler if they just made a dual analog controller. This thing doesn't look like it's worth the price.

    • @fsp48
      @fsp48 8 лет назад

      +Jessey Lawson Because a trackball would still have better raw aim than a laggy imprecise stick only fixed with tons of aim assist on consoles. Best hand controller design for aim was MS Sidewinder Dual Strike except for the buttons durability and some layout.

  • @SwankeyMonkey
    @SwankeyMonkey 12 лет назад

    Yeah, Incoming is a very underrated and largely unknown game. And though it was more of a tech demo, it made for an excellent game and certainly had long playability to it.
    But the Panther Flight Stick makes that game shine all the more. Every aspect, and every ship in that game is made better by that flight stick.
    I showcase the use of the Panther FlightStick playing some good games in my Dreamcast Arcade Cabinets video at about the 26min mark.
