Glorkbot Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 What are some available 2-button controllers that will work with 2-button Atari 7800 games on the 2600+ ? Does the Hyperkin "Trooper" work as a two button controller or are both buttons just the same fire button?

MysticSword Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think the Trooper buttons are the same input, and having the two buttons is more for either right or left handed play style. Myself, I got a 'Hyperkin Sega Genesis Controller' from Amazon (it was fairly cheap actually) along with a '7800 Mega Controller Adapter' I got from the Atari Age store. Together it works well with 7800 and 2600 games and it was a less expensive option compared to something like the Retro Game Boys 7800 game-pads (which after currency conversion along with the shipping costs would be the expensive option for me). 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/359924-2-button-controllers-for-atari-7800-games/#findComment-5394109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorkbot Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 (edited) I wonder if Atari will ever make one and bundle it with a 7800 10-in-1 or 4-in-1 cart or something.

MrZarniwoop Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Until Atari releases their upcoming CX78+, some excellent 3rd party options: RetroGameBoyz Atari 7800 Controller (NES-style D-pad) Bratwurst Atari 7800 Joystick (arcade-style) RetroHQ Mega 7800 Controller Adapter + 8BitDo M30 2.4G Controller (wireless Genesis-style 6-button D-pad) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/359924-2-button-controllers-for-atari-7800-games/#findComment-5394121 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizerableraingod Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I just bought a nice custom one on Etsy. It's a NES-style pad. Expensive, but works great so far.

The Hyperkin Trooper definitely does not work as a 2 button, 7800 style controller but works fine for the 7800 games that only use one button.
