Retro receiver + USB cable Review: Old controllers suck - Lets be honest, old controllers and gamepads are terrible, even the modern remakes leave a lot to be desired. I'm not sure why this thing isn't better known but it works great to get a proper new bluetooth controller connected to the MD. I already had an 8bitdo arcade stick and it works great. I had to break out the instructions to decrypt the heiroglyphics on the stick to pair it but once that's done, no problems at all. 10/10 would recommend. Review: Great gadget but no good for master system games - Great item for the mega drive I connect my PS4 controller to easy but it won't work on a sega master system it fits but just don't seem to let you do anything at first I thought it was the console but when I put my master system games in a converter they still didn't work . I sent it back as it wasn't any good for what I wanted it for if it wrked on both it would of been great ## Features - Give your MD/Genesis access to multiple wireless controllers.
