thegamezmaster Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Can I use a Sega Master System sports pad on a 7800 and not damage it? Any others that can be used besides the obvious, like atari and wico?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalidi Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Original Sega Genesis controllers work for 2600 games and a good chunk of the 7800 library, too. I think it's better than the CX78 joypad but only one button works, so it fails for two button games. If you have a Harmony cartridge then hold down B while powering on, otherwise it detects it as a paddle and it doesn't work. There's really nothing else other than actual Atari or aftermarket products. That's what I'm using right now while waiting for a Wico Bat, some CX30 paddles and a CX80 trackball to come in. About 35% of 7800 games require that CX24 two button controller too, so I'm getting a couple of those, too.

Almost Rice Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I use an Atari cx-22 in trackball mode. I play the trackball modified version of Centipede on it. All other brands, if they work at all, will only work in joystick emulation. I am not too sure of the sega trackballs.

Rex Dart Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've heard the Master System trackball at best is incompatible, and at worst could damage/be damaged by the Atari system. I have a CX-80, it works the same as Rice's CX-22 up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicViper Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have a Wico Track ball and like it a lot better than the Atari brand one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
