Turtlezz Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 So 3-4 years ago, I had began researching online for a converter that would allow me to use a 2600 joystick (or any other controller with the same adapter) on a 5200 console. I eventually found the device pictured here.... but I literally cannot remember who and where I bought it from. It came with documentation explaining how to use it, and most likely included a name. But unfortunately, I cannot seem to find said documentation. I tried a Reverse Image search as well, but Google thought it was a picture of a bag I had given up on using it shortly afterwards. I was going through my collection today and found it, so maybe you guys can help me solve this mystery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtlezz Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 It's a Masterplay clone Wow, that was easy! Do you have any idea if the documentation on how to use it is available online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I know the feeling about forgetting the name of something. There is an all-in-one SD based cartridge that I remember, but the name escapes me, along with the price and link to the place to order it.

TemplarXB Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have one, I can scan the documentation if you'd like. Basically though you plug the controller you want to use in the masterplay ( I use a Genesis pad), plug the masterplay into the 5200. Choose a game where you can move in all directions - I use Berserk or Adventure II and then dial the knobs in until your character stops moving. One of the knobs controls the x and the other y axis. The keypad corresponds to the pad on the 5200 controller. The letters are the pause/reset/start buttons. I think there is a switch on the box to toggle between joysticks and paddles.

Thanks! Damn, it's kind of spendy though. Is there a link anywhere to all the images available? If I can see and download enough stuff, it might give me the justification to press the BUY BUTTON.
