Streamlined Title: Brook Wingman SD Converter - Multiplatform Controller Adapter

Product Description Introduction

Saturn and Dreamcast are the cherished memories of a generation, and now Brook offers more ways to unlock the potential of these two consoles. You can now use PS5, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 controllers, as well as the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, Xbox Elite controller, Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, Xbox Adaptive controller, and even the Retro-Bit Saturn USB controller on these systems.

The Wingman SD supports the use of PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox Elite 1 (wired), PS3, PS4, and SEGA Astro City mini (wired) controllers and arcade sticks on Dreamcast, Saturn, and PC (X-input). It also allows the use of a keyboard on Dreamcast (if the game supports it) and enables backing up Dreamcast VMU and expanding its memory to 240 blocks on a PC.

The latest firmware update (V1.4a, released on 20211229) addresses several issues, including: - Support for Splatterhouse Trilogy - Fixing the wireless controller pairing problem in Standard mode on Saturn - Addressing the issue where UP+START couldn't activate the VUM Tool when using an Astro City controller or fight stick - Adding support for using Select as the mode switch key for the Retro-Bit SEGA Saturn wireless controller - Fixing the button mapping of the SNK_NeoGeoArcadeStickPro to match a general fight stick layout

Before using the device, please visit the Brook website to check for any available firmware updates.
