As the original cable for the Dreamcast was a little short to reach across the living room for comfortable gaming. I ordered the Madness cable extension and it has worked like a charm. A simple plug into the console and one to the controller and I can now comfortably play literally anywhere in the living room. This cable works as advertised, is simple to connect and gives the gamer the latitude for extra distance from their monitor or television screen. As the original DC cables are a little on the short side, I would recommend to anyone looking for a little more distance between themselves and the output source.
