chriswhit Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was wondering what resistors are used in the atari 7800 controllers? they both appear to be the same. Doing a controller hack. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 620 ohm is what you want, though I don't think the value is real critical. Probably anythin from 500-700 ohms would be fine. And yes, they both should be the same value. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet thanks for the help now I just need a bulk pack of controller extensions if I can get them that way get some sega ones, they are alot cheaper, hell for the price of genny controllers just buy a batch of genny controllers and cut the cords...lol..

chriswhit Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm ready to build and am going to use wood. My friend lent me a controller to look at the printed circut board and upon taking it apart I noticed that there was one other component I don't have. there is a black item that looks a lot like a resistor but I think its something else. I was wondering what it was and is it is a mandatory part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need the resistors wired up to the fire buttons correctly and everything should be easy. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
