Handheld as a controller

[jabberjaw]

Can you use a different ngx handheld as a controller for a docking station?

I don't think you can do that, though you can connect the handheld directly to a TV.

No... but you can do video out directly from the handheld and play on your TV using the handheld as a controller.

Thanks, just trying to figure out how to hook up a 6-8 button joystick to work with the tv. I dont like using that dpad ( or any dpad) for games, either a joystick or specific game controllers for me ( wheel, negcon, mouse, ect). I could probably buy another handheld and open it up to make it work, but would rather not.

Your best bet is to buy a ps3 neo geo stick (which has 6 buttons) which is also compatible with the NGX.

The button lay out is odd but OMG can mod to your desire so this could be fixed.

Ok, can I get a link to this exact stick? I can do a mod myself.

Thanks!

You can get them on Ebay or Amazon. Probably other places too, but they're not cheap and they seem to be mostly coming from Japan too. Here's a link from Ebay:

The joystick has 8 buttons, but so does your NGX (A, B, C, D, R1, R2, L1, L2). That is the one.

Ok, one more question, people keep saying there is a 6 button joystick, but that joystick a few posts up is 8 buttons. I guess i just really want to make sure before I spend any more money.
