Rayman Controller for the PC?

Post by neogeo79 »

I found this at the Goodwill and thought I might ask you guy's in the Rayman community where it came from. I cannot find anything online on this controller. Can anyone help?

I never seen this controller before to be honest. I hope some other member can answer your question.

Thank you Eren for this info,
Is it a collectible or should I just return it? The ones I see online for sale do not seem to have the controller so I do not know if it is worth keeping or not.

Keep it since it is very rare if you are collector of rare things.

Do any of you know if this would work on the regular Rayman PC game and would it work on any game that uses a control pad?

Well, i think you can play rayman 1 with it, for other games you can download xpadder and map the buttons :) .

It will work with any game/OS that supports Gameport controllers, since that's what the connector is (MIDI/Gameport). This means DOS games and early Windows games. For newer games you may need a utility to map gameport commands to keyboard, like Xpadder, or some sort of Gameport-USB adapter.

Great find, BTW. I would definitely love to have one of these as a collectible, even though I only play with the keyboard. :D

It is interesting how several controllers were released in the course of the years.

Sure would like to get one now, but they pop up so rarely on eBay and are grossly overpriced when they do...
