Wntermute Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 How feasible would it be to use a Jaguar controller with a 5200? I have a 5200 in storage because I could never get the controllers to work completely right. IIRC, there are enough buttons on the Jaguar controller to match the 5200's stick.

joeybastard Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 It's possible but you won't be getting the full functionality because the 5200 stick is analog and the jag pad is digital. It would work fine for most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda_racer Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 someone modded a jag pad for colecovision (i don't rember who exactly), so it would work for the 5200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the 5200 directionals are analog, not digital. This is the sticky point, as it involves the creation of a masterplay/redemption/whatever circuit, and it's impossible to make a digital device 100% compatible with all 5200 games.

Bryan Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 It's possible, also a lot of work! Man, it would seem easier to make a little microcontroller circuit to read the Jag-pad and feed it into the 5200. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Actually, it would be nice to use a Jaguar controller, but replace the D-pad with a centering analog stick, kind of like the Dreamcast's small size analog mini-stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, I've used A800 Dreamcast before precisely because I felt a given game was better suited to the DC pad than the 5200 controller.

chris.heff Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I can get you great controllers for you that are guaranteed to work and work a very long time. I don't believe that you can use Jaguar controllers. Email me at chris.heff@prodigy.net if interested. How feasible would it be to use a Jaguar controller with a 5200?
