eightbit Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Guys, get in on these NOW. I am telling you that they are so worth it. Using a Genesis controller with both buttons functional is an incredible experience on the 7800. Night and day from the original pro controllers or even the Euro controller. I purchased a second one because I can't play the 7800 without them now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Greetings Grips, Do any of you all know if these adapters will work the the Colecovision as well? I understand that the keypad would not work, but do these adaptors allow for 2 buttons on a Colecovision? A game like Cosmic Avenger, Nova Blast use 2 buttons that need to be pressed at the same time to produce fire and bombs at the same time. A game like Ninja Princess needs both buttons pressed at the same time to perform a 3rd action in this game its Ninja Magic. I am looking for a good solution to play Genesis controllers on my Coleco. Any insight you can give me would be great! Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightbit Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have an odd question. Would this adapter work for use with a Commodore computer? As far as I recall it is not recommended to use a Genesis controller directly with a Commodore (say a C64 for example) because it can burn out the port for one reason or another...although I cannot remember the exact issue. For that reason I never connect Genesis pads to it. I just wonder if this adapter would make a Genesis controller "safe" to use... Actually, here's more on that issue: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/256707-sega-genesis-controller/?hl=%2Bgenesis&do=findComment&comment=3609399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, there won't be a power supply for the adapter to translate the signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 for those who want to make their own Revenge adapter: https://www.oshpark.com/shared_projects/tzB557NP A simple Schematic and pinout diagram will do, preferably in PNG format as I lack the software to decipher this. I can fabricate my own breadboards with supplies (through hole please) from my local radioshack...

EDIT: Nevermind, they're just quad PNP transistors. Prolly easier to just use discrete components for the BCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
