Key points

Requires adapter to connect to PC.
Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.
Unlike the Sega Saturn Controller (and Mega Drive) there are no 𝐂 and 𝐙 buttons, and the controller has moved past the need for a switch to toggle between analogue and digital modes, seen on the 3D Control Pad.

Inputs

  • 1 × analog stick
  • 2 × analog triggers: 𝐋, 𝐑
  • 5 × digital buttons: 𝐀, 𝐁, 𝐗, 𝗬, sᴛᴀʀᴛ
  • 4 × digital directional buttons (d-pad): , , ,

Use with PC platforms

Windows

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Expansions

See the list of compatible games for Dreamcast emulator

Support in games

Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Games with microphone support

Microphone support requires Dreamcast Microphone extension.
Games with implemented voice chat should be able to use controller's microphone. There is no software which supports Dreamcast Microphone for PC yet.
VoiceBot and VoiceAttack allows to control games and applications by voice commands.
Dreamcast games support Dreamcast Microphone peripheral. See more.
List of Microphone-controllerd computer games.

Games with XInput button prompts

Total number of games:
Error 1140: In aggregated query without GROUP BY, expression #1 of SELECT list contains nonaggregated column 'pcgamingwiki_cargo.cargo__Input._pageID'; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by (mysql01.mysql.pcgamingwiki-14662257-production.svc.cluster.local)

Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT `cargo__Input`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Input`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Infobox_game`,COUNT(*) FROM `cargo__Infobox_game` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__Input` ON ((`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageName`=`cargo__Input`.`_pageName`)) WHERE `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='true' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='limited' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='hackable' ORDER BY `cargo__Input`.`_pageID`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID`,COUNT(*) LIMIT 100

.

The controller's button positions and colors, and the amount of buttons, differ considerably from those of other Xbox controllers. As such, the list below should be treated with some caution.
Please note, that this is only list for games that offer XInput button prompts.
Some may require use of Xbox 360 controller emulation. Refer to game-specific articles for details.
