virtvic Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I always wanted to make one, but could never get Robotron to work in my PAL 7800. I have made them in the past for VECTREX and usb, but not for the 7800. Not sure there would be a need for them really? If I get at least 10 ‘ yes please ‘ I’ll add it to my list of projects. Here is the pc one I made for someone. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the pc one I made for someone. How much would the above controller cost? How much would shipping cost? Would it just be the two joysticks and the two small buttons, or would other layouts be available? This is available with customized button layouts and colors for $179.00 plus shipping ($31 US | $65 Europe & NA outside US | $100 Asia & AU). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtvic Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 If I were to make it, the 2 buttons would be bigger (24mm Sanwa) and a bit lower down, so you d use the left hand stick and the 2 buttons as a regular controller. I’d say about £90 + postage (to the US is about £21) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 One suggestion: include a pair of buttons per stick. Being able to have a matched set of controllers would be more flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased one from Edladdin directly a couple years ago. You could ask to position the buttons differently and you can use each controller independently. Btw, @virtvicI’d like one of your Vectrex twin-stick controllers if you ever decide to make more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtvic Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 I think you’re already down for a VECTREX one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxes are quite ‘mini’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauder666 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 RevEng did a hack to make the NTSC Robotron work on a PAL machine. Hopefully you have a flash cart of some sort to be able to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
