Transcript of the video: 

Hi, everyone. Kris from Stone Age gamer here. Let's talk a little bit about Bluetooth controllers. Now, there are a lot of great ways to get Bluetooth controllers up and running on your your Super Nintendo's, your Sega Genesis Systems. Right? They're the ones that everybody wants to use their fancy new controllers on. But what about what about the oddballs? What about your 3DO's? Your TurboGrafx-16s? You're Atari jaguars. What about using modern Bluetooth wireless controllers on those? Well humble bazooka is here to help with stuff like this. This is the turbo BT and it is just one of an entire line of BT adapters that'll let you use modern Bluetooth controllers on your retro game consoles. Let's take a look. 

[00:00:42] All right. So let's take a look at these things up close and personal. Here is the JAG BT and you look down here, we've got a bunch of the other ones, the neo vt3 neo b t pcb t turbo v t. Therefore for obviously the neo geo, 3DO, PC engine, and Turbo Grafx 16. Now these all have similar functionality, right? They've all got the same basic principles going on. You've got your ear buttons here for, for pairing different things. They just plug right into the controller ports is the turbo one. Here is the jag one got a little lights that show you what they show you that they're functioning. And I grabbed my Jaguar here and just plug this sucker in and show you it just fits right in, just like a regular controller would. And yeah, that's it just kind of sticks out from there. Wow. That really does go a nice and smooth check you out. And that's a that's what it looks like. It's taken out of a Jaguar. They've got these all the colors are printed right on it. They look real nice. I got to say, I like this Turbo T. That's pretty snazzy. Wireless on Turbo Graphics. Always a good thing. So there you go. I guess the only thing left to do now is check these things out in motion. So go take a look. 

[00:01:51] Okay, so here I have Doom running on my Jaguar and there's the JAG BT plugged in right down there. It was really easy to sync up my PlayStation four controller. All I had to do was do the whole option and PlayStation button thing and then press one of the buttons on the JAG. But it's linked up like, no problem. And what else is cool is this remembers what you have sent up after you turn it off. I turn that off, turn it back on. And it was still synchronized. Just had to turn on my PlayStation controller. Now, the reason I wanted to show off a Jaguar one is because it actually kind of automatically maps the numeric keypad on the Jaguar controller to the right analog stick. In fact, I might even do some with the left. But as I just got simple early on in Doom so that I could show you the numbers. So like up is one. So that's going to bring me to my bare hands. Then my arms are two and three, so if I press right, that's two. When I press down, that's three. And then we can just kind of run around and do Doom on the Jaguar with a wireless controller and not having to use the the silly Jaguar controller. And there you go. That is a that's the Jack Beatty in Motion. They all pretty much work the same way. They're really easy to set up. They just are. They're basically plug and play units. And that's the long and the short of it. 

[00:03:02] Various Bluetooth adapters from Humble Bazooka, including this guy, the Turbo BT and the Neo BT, and all those other fancy BTs are available now at Stone Age Gamer, so you can connect your modern controllers to your favorite retro systems.

I am a big fan of using Bluetooth controllers on the Jaguar because, well, I like some jaguar games and I don't really like jaguar controllers. They're pretty uncomfortable and that d-pad is a mushy mess. But that's just me. Let us know what you think. Thanks again, everyone.
