Q: Does this work with emulators on PC (Retroarch, etc.)?

A: Yes.

Q: Can this be used with xbox one?

A: No, this is not recommended to be used with Xbox One.

Q: Hello, I was wondering if you might know if there is anything like this that will work with a Ps4? I mean there has to be something right? Thank you

A: undefined

Q: Will this work on a RaspberryPi using RetroPie?

A: I use mine with Lakka on the Pi4. I have to reset the controls after each game / restart.

Q: I am using this on the Genesis Mini. When I push A and B at the same time during a game, it brings up the system menu. Any way to disable that?

A: Is a couple different things that you can try one as you could try to format the system and start from scratch and that may help depending on if you're running just the regular Sega Genesis program or if you're doing something else like retroarch on it you may have the option of doing mapping with the controller. is another option that you can try out but it sounds like you're running just the regular program and if that is the case the best advice I can think of would be to do a system reset go to the settings and look for format or reset system I'm not sure which one it says but I would say try that out and it would still happens if it's not too late I might return the controller cuz the controller may be faulty and if it's doing it on both controllers and you reset everything and it's still happening then your system may be faulty. I hope that helps good luck

Q: Does this work on PS4?

A: No, this doesn't work on PS4.

Q: In the overview, it says "all forms of sega genesis". Does that mean the 90s version as well? Is there a special connector?

A: No, this version has a USB connector and is co-branded for the Sega Genesis Mini. RetroBit does make a different version of this controller with the original 9-pin Sega/Atari connector but I don't think Best Buy carries it.

This controller is about the most elite, versatile, convenient, thing out there. It's able to be played on any system. I have the Sega Mini ✓ I have Sega Genesis Classic on Steam ✓ I have Sega Genesis Classic on Switch ✓ I have Sega Mega Drive on my Raspberry Pi ✓ It works 100% perfect and no problems. Microcenter also has a cool looking Blue one that has a L and R button on top and the MODE button is in the middle like the old school controller. Need to check that out as well. I bought that to. Doesn't feel like cheap garbage in your hand also, it seems like the two controllers that come with the Sega Mini are very touchy D Pads do you agree??? This Controller is a must don't pass it up !!!

Perfect fit!
Controller looks like it's to scale to the original 6 button Sega Genisis controller. Has all the buttons including the MODE button. The quality feels well made. Cable is also very long The controller can be used on Sega Genesis Mini, PC, Nintendo Switch, and PS4. Has multiple features like being able to switch between d-input and x-input by holding Start + B on the controller when on PC. You can also press Start + A to as a Dashboard button on PC when on X-input mode. For the switch, you can set the Dpad to control any of thumbsticks or directional buttons. Sadly for the PS3 its only stuck with D-input This is a great controller for classic gaming or fighting games and is a must buy. You don't even need a Genesis Mini to use the controller.

Feels authentic to the original
If you own a Sega Genesis Mini, you should definitely get this six button controller (especially for Street Fighter 2). I used to own the original Sega Genesis back in my childhood and I used to have this same exact six button controller, and this controller from Retro-Bit feels and plays as good as the original. This game pad is smaller than the original three button controller, and it works great when playing classic Genesis games on PC without having to download extra software. The mode button is also included, but it works differently from the original, as it used to select the Sega Genesis Mini's game menu.
