pcexe1apsoft [2009/06/15 22:15] – XHE-3 does NOT work with Sega pads! Lawrence
Line 1: Line 1:
 +===== PC Engine Games + The XE-1AP =====
 +The Micomsoft XE-1AP was a hand-held controller that had all the functionality of the massive Sharp/Micomsoft Cyber-Stick, released for the X68000, and compatible with the Fujitsu FM-Towns, MSX and Sega MegaDrive.  Looking a lot like a cross between a pre-historic Playstation controller and a frisbee, the pad offered one 2-axis analogue control and one single-axis analogue control, in addition to a half a dozen buttons and other features.
  
 +While normally a 9-pin DSUB connector won't fit in the PC Engine's 6-pin mini-DIN, there was an adaptor (The XHE-3) which allowed the use of MSX, X68000 and FM-Towns((This adaptor does not work with MegaDrive/Master System pads, [[controls:sega_atari_msx_x68000|See here for details.]])) pads on the PCE.  When connected, the XE-1AP offered real analogue control to all of four PC Engine games:
 +  * Forgotten Worlds
 +  * Afterburner II
 +  * Outrun
 +  * Operation Wolf
 +
 +All four games are made by NEC Avenue.
