Robert Carrion Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I am getting an Atari 7800 CX78 and have heard it has a short cable. I was wondering if it works with the Genesis Extension cords or if that can produce a problem. I already know that Sega Genesis controllers only work as one button controllers on a 7800. What I want to know is, can I use an Atari 7800 CX78 pad, use a genesis extension cord and still have two button support on my CX78 joypad. Or will the extension cord somehow cause issues. Finally if it doesn't work, where should I go about looking for an Atari 7800 extension cord Thanks Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Genesis extension cords (at least the ones I've always used) are just straight-through DB9 extensions, so they should work fine with the CX-78. I use them all the time with my Radica Space Invaders 7800 joysticks, which are wired identically to the CX-78, and they work perfectly.

VertigoProcess Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I know genesis extension cords work with the 3do so I don't see why they wouldn't work with a 7800... I have a 7800 in the mail when it gets here I can try it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I use a Genesis extension cord with my 7800 in precisely that way, and it works flawlessly. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
