			I've never had problems with 3rd party hardware. 3rd party N64 controllers seem to last longer than the genuine articles, too. Still, I shoot for the real deal when money isn't a problem. I have Interact DC and PS2 pads, primarily for 3 or 4 player stuff.

			Oh, how if I buy "OFFICAL USED" sega controlers ? will it do the same damage that I hear some 3rd party controlers do to your DC ?

			No. Don't buy them used , don't buy ANY Dreamcast assesory that plugs in the controller ports used. They told me when I got mine fixed not to plug any of my old, some offical controllers in the dreamcast after it blew out. they said it would just blow it out again. Now, If I hadn't had any morals, i would have sold those controllers and made some money back. only to have some unfortunate soul along the line get them. Not all people have morals though, so I wouldn't advise buying used controllers, regardless of who made it. (Edited by Miles McCloud at 11:00 pm on Mar. 30, 2002)

			Thanks, money is tight and I can't get any controlers new anyway

			miles: according to an faq on gamefaqs, if you replaced the resistor that blows with one of a slightly higher value it should be absolutly fine it appears from reading it that sega went slightly too low when they originally designed the controller board http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/dreamcast/game/229...

			So, MMGM it is safe for me to buy used ?
