virtvic Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Similar to my Vectrex Asteroids Controllers, but wired to the classic ‘Atari’ 9 pin pinout. Buttons are mapped to left,right & up (thrust),fire with hyperspace mapped to down. As well as playing various forms of asteroids on various consoles & computers, you can use it on a ton of other games too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Very cool and looks really nice. Here are the 2 I made: Upright Edition: Cabaret Edition: Were you able to use leaf-switch push-buttons in yours, or did you end up with key-switch or micro-switch buttons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundGammon Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I think one of each is the order of today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use obsf24 Sanwa buttons. The thickest area inside the box is only about 30mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thickest area inside the box is only about 30mm I understand, and kind of what I assumed. I occasionally use the Ultimarc GoldLeaf push-buttons when I've had to work with a limited mounted depth. They're pretty shallow mount, and have vintage style concave button tops. But they are full-size buttons, versus the 24mm that you used. But again, still a very good looking controller, and one of the nicest homebrew Asteroids controller's I've seen. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtvic Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thank you! I’ll check out those Ultimarc buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
