DJT Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I've been pretty happy thus far using the standard 2600 atari joystick on my 7800. No issues with asteroids, galaga, pole position Ii, or food fight. But i just picked up choplifter and now i have a problem. I need a two button controller.. I've seen quite a bit of two button controllers on eBay but will all 2button 2600 controllers work properly? Theres a sweet looking sun com two button I'd love to get, but I just want to make sure...

Rex Dart Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Two button 2600 controllers? No. You need a two-button 7800 controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you basically have three options, the Proline, the Propad, or a custom job. The two button 2600 controllers just give you a choice of where you want the file button to be. Some have rewired those controllers two work, but the 7800 uses a weird wireing scheme to make the Prolines work with 1 button games.
