I seriously need a functioning 5200 controller. I'm gonna try to fix it again but I doubt it's going to work. The problem stems from the joystick not centering right and no matter what direction I point it's stuck going right. The Start button is having problems too.

I'm sending them an email today. I just checked Ebay and alot of the controllers look really overpriced. Why spend 60 bucks on a controller that might not work?? The more and more I look, Ebay is'nt that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be weird playing 5200 with those fancy looking ones. It's like using a Sega Genesis controller for the 2600. It works but it looks tacky I like using original controllers the best to capture the original feel.

You plug in a stock 5200 controller and use the start/pause/reset on that IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
