charlie_jumper Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi, i want to Show you my 4 Button analog Joypad that i got today from a User of an german Forum. He wrote a Little Tutorial for modding a a Neo Geo Mini Controller into an optimal Vectrex Joypad. Here is the Picture of that Thing, because without any Picture, the Topic isn`t enjoyable 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindluge Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Wonderful. Is this purchasable as a finished product or as a kit? I would love to find an affordable controller for the Vectrex as my only controller's joystick is oversensitive. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmackin Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yes, please a tutorial would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_jumper Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Here is the Tutoriallink: https://circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/28726-NEO-GEO-Mini-Pad-auf-Vectrex-Mod-100-Analog-Unterstützung/ It is in German, but i`m shure that you figure it out somehow if you really interrested. The Controller is not a Commercial Product, you have to mod it yourself or find someone to do the work for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zitruskeks Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I built one, too, loosely from that tutorial/idea. In Contrast, I used spindle trimmers glued on the board, bent the outer legs of the pots upwards connected to there and I also drilled some holes (red circles in the image) to help route the cabling on the different sides of the pcb. Thus, I found it quite easy to assemble everything back into the case without cutting things from the case, and you can reach the spindle trimmers without removing the PCB from the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_jumper Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Nice Work. How does it feel while Playing? Since the Controllers of the Neo Geo Mini are Cheap and brand new to get, i think it is a very good 4 Button Analog Controller for the System. Maybe the MegaDrive/Genesis Controller is also good, but it isn`t Analog and i think the Button Layout is a Little bit odd.... PS: Greetings to @vectrexroli . I would love to see that Controllermod in one of your Videos. Maybe i can arrange something to get you a Controller like that. (Sadly i can`t swing the soldering iron myself, so i have to outsource....) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zitruskeks Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I have a Vecadapt and did play with some of my Genesis Controllers and yes, the Button Layout isn't optimal. On my first try with the NG-Controller I went further on my first live in Scamble than ever before.
