I typed in "pc engine extension cable" but nothing came up so while I was searching for a pc engine extension cable I found one for $18.99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TURBODUO-PC-ENGINE-CONTROLLER-cable-extension-6ft-1-8m-/170831125900?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item27c6541d8c

I found another one that looks the same but is $1.84: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10215&cs_id=1021501&p_id=534&seq=1&format=2

Has anyone bought one from Monoprice and do they work, I''m pretty sure they would as PC Engine controller connectors are standard 8-pin mini-DIN adapters.

I checked to see how much shipping would be to Australia, and S&H Cost is $36.38, I guess that's out of the question.

Thanks for letting me know, I contacted them and the shipping price is set.

I've had a slight problem with a monoprice cable and an avenue 3 pad that works fine when plugged directly into the system but not into the monoprice cable. Beyond that they're great.

Interesting.

I have used the monoprice cable (well, I don't know if they always source items from the same place) with standard and 3-button PCE controllers. No problems to report, meka.

I bought the monoprice cable years ago, though. I'm assuming they simply have tons of old stock and you'll get the same item.

Whoa!  :shock:  Thanks a lot for the info in this thread!  =D> Was about to pay significantly more than what monoprice is selling them for.  Order placed!   :dance:

Where were you going to get it from, the reason I ask is as I'm not getting one from Monoprice because they want to charge me almost $40 to ship a cable and I need one, might get one from retrogamecave but the cable is 12 foot, which I think is a bit too long.

I havn't been posting in here because I feel like an idiot for buying the ebay versions instead of the monoprice ones.  Oh well, live and learn.

From retrogamecave as well.  I dont know why Mono is charging you $40 for shipping to australia.   :shock:

Heck, if you want me to. I'll gladly buy/ship a set for you.  I can send it priority for only $10-15.

I managed to pick one up from a local computer store, thanks Kaijuboy for offering.
