madhatter667 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey guys, I ran across a pair of TAC-2 joysticks for pretty cheap. I know that they are 2600 compatible. I was wondering if they are 7800 compatible as well? There are dual action buttons, or are they just plain action buttons that either a lefty or righty can use? I picked them up with the hopes of using them with my 7800, but I can live with it if they are just ok 2600 units, as I do like my Atari goods. But if anyone can share information about these, I'd love to hear from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 2600 only. I guess you mod them to be 7800 compatible but it would be a pain to hit the second button. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter667 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Will they work aside from not having the second button? Are 2600 and 7800 controllers mapped the same save for a second button? Looks like I will have to keep an eye out for a good pair of 7800 controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah, they'll work on 2600 or 7800 as one button controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Best... joystick... ever. I'm a certified tac-2 fanatic. If you can mod one up to use the 2nd button 7800 style it would be even better. Steve Edited April 26, 2008 by classics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one modded by prodos8, and it works great. The spacing of the buttons is a bit of a pain, but you get used to it. It cramps my hands less than the stock controllers. And yes, I got Prodos to mod it for me, I am lazy like that. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
