5200 controllers connected to your pc

[Tantan]

team, couple weeks ago I was asked to create a adapter to use real 5200 controllers on a pc emulator so I decided to give it a shot.  It turned out to be a cool project.  Check it the blog here https://www.icode.com/atari-5200-usb-adapter-for-your-pc/

 

It suppoers 2 controllers, and eben the keypads are detected.

If this could be converted to gameport this would be really cool.

Also what did this adapter cost to build?

Total parts cost about $25.  What do you mean by "converted to gameport" ?

I see.  PC Gameport pinouts are quite different than 7800 and there are plenty of USB to PC game port adapters on the market, but i did not see any bluetooth wireless ones.  I think it should be fairly easy to make, so I will think about it and give it a shot.
