Pin-out for the twin sticks?

			Anyone done that already?

			Saturn controllers don't work that way; they all have the same pinout, but in some cases the data format is different. Unfortunately, the SMPC manual doesn't seem to have any mention of the twin stick, so I don't even know whether or not it has its own protocol or how detection works.

			I'm just guessing, but could the Twin Stick work like the Mission Stick in 6-axis mode? Technical bulleting #34 has info on the Mission Stick. EDIT: ExCyber, do you have the SMCP manual? Care for sharing? I'm also interested in anything that's not in my stash.... Think of it as going towards a common good..

			If this helps... The Twinstick is simply a re-mapped Saturn pad. Left stick = Dpad Right stick pushed left = X Right stick pushed up = Y Right stick pushed right = Z Right stick pushed down = B Left trigger = L Left turbo = R Right trigger = A Right turbo = C (Actually, I may be getting Left trigger and Left turbo mixed up)

			KNTain: Yes! Thank you! antime: My Saturn docs collection is on my main computer, which is dead at the moment. As soon as I get it up and running I'd be happy to send you the SMPC manual.

			I suspected as much! Either that or a custom analog controller. Thanx! And Ex-Cyber, I wonder if your offer is available to me as well.
