    Found some unknown controller, for which system it was made? Looking at the pins seems it was for Saturn, but...

    Definitely not for Saturn. Looks like a normal PC Gameport connector.

    Saturn connectors don't have pins, although the thing at the end of the cord looks a lot like something you'd find at the end of a Saturn controller's cord. Looks more like one of those generic "8-bit" connectors than PC gameport to me (gameport is wider), and the controller itself looks like a Microsoft Sidewinder pad.

    Well, it's DE-9.
    It means it's a X-Box-style controller for IBM PC which also has cable looking like Saturn one, there's also a logo which is suspiciously reminds of Gamecube and some title, after that I'm just wondering what it means.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it belongs to a completely unique chinese clone machine. (Which itself is a contradiction, but you know what I mean...)

    Not enough pins for a pc controller and wrong gender for generic 9 pin (mega drive, etc)

    I think must be a universal controller but missing the set of adapters to be suitable for many consoles by attaching the appropriate adapter...

    Yeah, looks like a 9-pin male D-sub connector. Don't know what that could be used for.

    Looks like one of those universal controllers, like gallos said. But without the adapters, it doesn't do much :(

    If the dual analogs are just for looks/ don't move it's for a clone.

    If they move it's for pc or something specific. Odd port to use.

    Finally got it. Analogs are not just for looks and gamepad itself doesn't fit for PC port.
    It has sticker "Yoxi.com 3D Game". Though I checked this site and there's nothing about games at all.
    Translation of the title need to be known, if somebody knows Chinese...

    I suspected what site was significantly different before. FAQ links doesn't work.

    Photo will be later.

    Ripping off PSX and Saturn, even dual analog...

    Yet no six face buttons!? For shame. At least get that right! :(

    Answer is found. I just wanted to show you a photo of this "console" but it's already sold to someone and photo is deleted.
    It's a PS1 clone (!), it plays VCDs and MP3s and its title was, ehhm, "1+1 Computer Game System", if I remember correctly.

    Haha, the digital pad looks like all cheap clonic pads for PC. I remember a few Rainbow Analog Gamepads with this aberration

    PS1 clone? You sure it's not another one of those Famiclones that play ROMs from a CD? Because a PS1 clone would be so much cooler...in fact, I didn't know they existed.
