4-Player CV Games.

[CV Gus]

Has anyone else ever tried this?

 

Some years ago, I built a controller set-up that would allow 3 or 4 players to simultaneously play a game.

 

It works like this: a CV has 18 "switches," as I call them. 12 Keypad buttons. 4 Joystick switches. 2 Fire buttons. In theory, you could do more (as with the SACs), but 18 is the basic number.

 

Playing NES' Gauntlet 2, I wondered; could the CV do this? A four-player game?

 

So, using a Y-Adapter, I rewired an old controller so it was in fact acting as a keypad controller. You push up, it was like hitting a keypad button. Likewise, the other 3 directions, and the two fire buttons.

 

It was a crude, temporary set-up, but it did work. You could do the same thing with the second one, too.

 

Don't know why I did it, really. Maybe just to see if it could be done.
