CV Gus Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 When I first got the 5200, I had to desolder and solder parts around to get it working. It does- but I only have the port for Controller #1. This makes it tough to properly play Space Dungeon and Robotron: 2084. Radio Shack has nothing. Where can one get those 15-pin plugs?

Parts places call them a "DB15 connector". If you search for that on google you'll find lots of places that carry them. It might depend on the controller, but I believe most of the 5200 controller cables have several little "knobs" on the plastic that goes into the system's controller port. Normally this is to help hold the cable in place. Depending on the replacement DB15 connector you buy you might have to file/sand off those little knobs to get the controller cable to fit properly.
