darklord1977 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 i just discovered by accident that the original sega genesis controllers work on the atari 7800...i find they work even better than the joysticks for some games such as galaga..just thought id pass this on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord1977 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 the sega master system control pads work well with the 7800 also ..this is awesome..if your atari controller breaks and u cant find a joystick..plug either one of the 2 sega controllers in and your good to go! and your hands wont cramp up either:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 This has been discussed many times before, too. Are you aware that you can search these forums to see if something has already been talked about before starting a new thread about it?

accousticguitar Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I just made a search and came up with nothing but garbage. Can you play the games which require 2 firing buttons with the Sega Master System controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Not without modifying the controllers, unfortunately. There are some instructions on how to do this in the 2600 FAQ; here is a direct link: http://www.atariage.com/2600/faq/?SystemID=2600#sega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yes Darklord, yes he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord1977 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 you might have to mod the master system controllers for games that use both buttons ...ive always liked the joypads better than the joysticks for some games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I tried out the Genny controllers on 7800 Desert Falcon just now & it just shoots continually. That's not how I got my high score, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsoper Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Everyone should read the FAQs a couple times. They're there for a reason you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 If you want to know what 7800 games will work with the Genesis controllers I'd suggest viewing the thread that lists all the 7800 games that only need one button because that's basically what the 7800 sees the genesis controllers as........a one button controller.
