Twistedsypmphony, head moderator guy over at Xbox-Scene, tipped us off to his Frankensteinian project, the Sat-2-360 Controller Adapter. The adapter allows players to use a Sega Saturn control on the 360. Considered by many to have the best d-pad and button layout ever, the Saturn controller is perfect for Street Fighter II or the upcoming Mortal Kombat. The adapter is still a prototype -- and ugly as sin -- but the functionality is promising. The unit is (technically) wireless, though I'd pay for the same thing with a USB adapter.
If you'd like to learn more about it -- or make one yourself -- check out the forums at Xbox-Scene. For some X-tra credit, who wants to build me one? Anybody?
Now, if SEGA would get cracking on the Live Arcade version of Virtua Fighter 2...

I would be more interested in using the 6-button Genesis controller. I thought that controller was perfect for playing SFII.

A saturn Controller can be made to work with the 360.
But Microsoft cannot figure out how to make Xbox games work with the 360.

Actually, truth be told, I prefer the Genesis 6-button myself. Best. D-Pad. Ever.
But this is a step in the right direction :)

So basically he just did a translation from the output of the Saturn controller to the 360 controller's buttons at the switch level... it certainly works but it's kind of the brute force solution isn't it?
