doctorclu Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have a Redemption module that takes 7800 sticks. What changes would I have to make to it so that it could use 2600 sticks? As best I know the only difference between 2600 and 7800 sticks is that the 7800 sticks had a extra fire button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 None that I know of. You should be able to use a 2600 stick with no problem. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch I tried a 2600 stick on 5200 Joust, which led to my character flapping repeatedly. Indicates that the fire button was not working as it should. I'll try other games.

Odd.I home build ones that work with two button for sega pads and they work fine with one button for the cx-40 and similar.

Albert Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I home build ones that work with two button for sega pads and they work fine with one button for the cx-40 and similar. The 2600 version of the Redemption does work with the Sega SMS and Genesis controllers, supporting both buttons. The 7800 controller is wired differently, though, which is why we made a different version. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I assumed, wrongly I guess, the cx-40 would still function as a one button stick with the 7800 redemption just like they do on the actual 7800 console.

doctorclu Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeh I knew the one button solution would not work when I tried Joust. However, I now have a 7800 stick converted into a Atari 2600 joystick shell, so I'm good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
