garetjax Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 What is a good gamepad for the st or is there an adapter to use a modern gamepad ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_shred Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Best Electronics do a Jagpad to Atari 2600 adapter that works well with the ST. Only the d pad and B fire button work but it keeps it Atari Also, if you have an STE you can use the Jagpad for the handful of games that support the enhanced joystick ports on the side.

+DarkLord Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Exxos's Online Store used to sell the JeST? (I think that was it's name. I have one for my STacy. It's basically a Playstation 2 joypad adapted to the ST... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) This one will be available soon. It should work with the ST in a standard controller port. It is an Atari branded product. Fire button one would work on ST games. I'm not sure if any ST games ever supported the 7800 scheme for button 2. https://atari.com/products/cx78-gamepad Edit: Oops, I read online that the the original 7800 controllers would confuse the ST and cause problems, although I would swear that I have plugged in and used a 7800 proline controller with my own ST. Atari's description sort of claims backward compatibility with "all atari systems". Maybe they have different logic inside than the original 7800 controllers? I do plan on trying one on my ST when they are available in May 2024. Maybe the new one will work as-is? Sorry for any confusion. Here's the article I read on the subject: https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/2018-11-14-atari-7800-controller-st-compatibility-modification.html Edited March 10 by RodLightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
