toptenmaterial Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) I received my 5200 in the mail today, along with a restored controller. Although the controller appears to have full functionality, I just cannot get used to it- for games like Pac-Man, it borders on unplayable. This is disappointing, as the games are gorgeous! So what are the alternatives out there? I have heard of the Wico with the Y cable. Any NES controller adapters, or anything for the good ol' CX-40 at a reasonable price? Anything else out there? Thanks. Edited July 31, 2011 by toptenmaterial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodos8 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If you have or can get your hands on a Wico Y-cable or Wico Keypad you might be interested in one of my MasterPlay clones. These will let you use a standard 2600 controller or a Genesis controller for 2-button support on the 5200. MasterPlay clone sale thread I don't have any for sale at the moment, but I'm probably going to build a few more soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingy Jongo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I too am interested in alternatives to 5200 controllers. Right now all I can really play is Centipede with my trakball controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't have much cash for the next few weeks, but would love to get one when the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmetal88 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've posted this before, but I think people keep missing it: http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/jag_adapter.html Or, if you don't mind a permanent mod, you can do what this guy did at the bottom of his page: http://kevtris.org/Projects/5200jr/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Interesting hack done with an Atari 2600 Jr. casing and a Jaguar controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
