As far as I know it works with any USB controller you have.

The keymapping screen shows a Saturn pad. That should give you some idea what you should be using.

Any directinput controller with enough buttons should work once you map it into the options and all of the fascimile controllers I've seen are use directinput, since they lack the requisite features to qualify as an xinput controller.

So look on your controller and see if you have a mode button somewhere on it. If it does you should be fine. If it doesn't you can probably still use it but might have to deal with the occasional inconvenience of remapping one of the x/y/z keys to mode for specific games that were incompatible with the six button controllers. This should be rare, since even for games like Sonic 1 I don't recollect actually using the mode button. Nevertheless, it may be necessary since I see no other reason for Sega to include the option in their button mapping utility. I doubt it was ever used in gameplay.
