Hello men,

On the web, i find this:

In fact, this 3do gamepad and a lot of other "Retro" gamepads are now compatible to 30 videos games system, like Atari 2600 to Wii, Ps3, Xbox360 and Pc:

All informations (it's in french sorry) are here:

well it certainly looks credible but this guy is looking for someone to mass produce these so as of now they aren't available. THe thing is that to use your controllers with this system you need to have them "universalised" wich involves removing the original cord and replacing it with a special port (looks like a serial port). Also if you want to use all these controllers on, say, a Wii you'll need the wii adapter wich isn't the same as the adaptor for the PC or the PS3 and I don't think there's one for the 3DO.

From what I understand, it seems like a better to just get a (insert console here) -> USB adapter 'cause at least that way you can still use the controller on the original console.
