andrew1810 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Now I have a few games, a console and a PSU (Thanks to everyone on here ) I need somthing a bit better than my Spectrum joystick I think. So far I have seen: CX-78 CX-24 Gemini The driving paddle thingies on ebay The gemini is the cheapest and I am trying to do this all on the cheap (cheap console, common games etc.), is it much worse than the official ones? Thanks again Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew1810 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Sorry for being such a newbie, but which is that? Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 You will probably need both paddles and a joystick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theretrodogg Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 8142488485 this one on ebay is a very nice example, it has auto fire too. I am bidding on one now but thats not boxed and no auto fire, I sold mine before but I should never have bothered as they get no better.

Synthead Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I like TAC-2 and Genesis controllers. I've heard great things about Wico Command Control sticks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nintendo Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Anyone here use Sega Master System controls? They're great with Track and Field and similar to the NES controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew1810 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'll keep an eye on that one on ebay!!! Didn't realise I could use other ones, from these which I already have, which would be best? Sinclair standard joystick SNES controller Megadrive controller Or, I think I have an old 2 button PC one somewhere which may work Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I personally like my controller I made when I was drunk... that really helped with games like space treat deluxe, moonsweeper, and 2 controller games (its a ps2 arcade joystick converted to 2 atari 2600 sticks.)

Stingray Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I personally like my controller I made when I was drunk... LOL! I have one I made while tipping a few brewskis myself. Mine is an old arcade joystick & button scavenged from my parts bin & mounted in a Radio Shack project box. Works better than any factory 2600 stick I've ever used. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Anyone here use Sega Master System controls? They're great with Track and Field and similar to the NES controls. I like Genesis pads better than a Master System pad. I found the Master System Pad kept trying to go diagonal when I wanted to go straight...could be just me though.

andrew1810 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 How about one of these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8143088043&rd=1 Would it work? Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think back at the High Score Club at moonsweeper, I explain about my made controller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 and here's the links to them. The explanation of the stick: http://www.atariage.com/forums/download.php?id=27692 At the time, I had a crappy camera and here is the best I could do of the inside... http://www.atariage.com/forums/download.php?id=27693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuifje76 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I love "the arcade"joystick, by suzo. The one with two fireknobs is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
