minmao Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I tried the genesis controllers from Legends flash back and they do not work (only up and down). I also have a retrobit 2.4GHz genesis controller which does not work either Therefore, I would assume genesis controller wont work (I also saw in another post by googling). And I heard original atari controller wont work without modding. Therefore, I assume I wont be able to get any replacement controller if the included ones broke? Thanks!

atarifan88 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I use my original Tac 2 controllers. They still work and play great. No moding required. I would recommend looking for a set on Amazon or Ebay! Edited September 28, 2021 by atarifan88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxxon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Like Atarifan88 said, original Atari sticks do work. I have used real 2600 sticks, other flashback sticks (AFB1 sticks do not work), Cirka sticks, Hyperkin Troopers (the Ranger does not work), I even hacked a FB stick and made a Sanwa arcade joystick. It's the original Atari paddle controllers that won't work w/o modding. What you won't have is the extra buttons on that P1 joystick and no way to back all the way out of the game list with the menu button. The AFB NEXUS community build has a workaround for that though.

minmao Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thank you guys. Now I know my flashback 9 will not become paperweight without the included cheap controllers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
