I only have one original cable that I'm keeping and I'm still looking for an original wico keypad for myself. ETA: Personally, I'm not a fan of the Wico stick, but I love the little y-cable to use with my masterplay clone.

You could make a wico keyboard knock off by modifying a working controller (yeah I know they're hard to find) by adding a 9-pin male connection for the wico stick and disconnecting the wires from the internal stick. The result would match the system perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ataridoctor Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 The wico stick seems better on alot of games than the comp pros. On river raid the plane doesnt go straight but it can be trimmed with the wico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
