Wanted: Intellivision Controller adapter

Recommended Posts

Recently saw a video with the adapter I am looking for. I would pay to have one made depending on price. I don't have the time or skill to build one myself. I enjoy the Intellivision but those controllers cramp my hands fast.

I don't think anyone is selling these now, but user @grips03 was selling some converted joysticks for a while.  He had his own boards printed to allow for 4-way or 8-way sticks which is awesome.

 

I've built one of these before and have repaired many different 9-pin controllers.  There are many things that make this a slightly more difficult controller project, but it is a good way to learn some basics about 5v electronics and simple soldering etc.  I basically had to teach myself how to do this and used the web archive page you linked extensively.  I still use the one and only joystick I built for the Intv, and well . . . I kinda don't want to build another one.

 

My recommendation is to give it a shot and try to build something like this yourself.  You can do it, and you'll appreciate using it A LOT more when it is done.

I would love to build it myself. A large part of why I don't is a lack of free time. I would rather spend the time I have enjoying the games. Maybe one day I will find the time to try.
