Intellivision USB Controller

[StephenJ]

I've been doing some searching for an Intellivision USB controller or adapter so that I can simulate the Intellivision experience on my PC. I'm disappointed in the limited amount of information.

 

Got a few questions...

 

Has anyone of you had success with this?:

If so, what's involved? The website doesn't provide much information.

 

Are there any other good options/kits for using the Intellivision controller on a PC?

 

Are there any USB controllers that come close to the Intellivision layout?

 

What do you use?

 

 

Many thanks,

StephenJ

I have soldered the wires up to the PCB board. It is not that difficult. There is not much to it. The image on the website is all you need to solder the correct wires in place.

 

The board works very well. Windows recognizes the controller as a USB so it will work with most, if not all, emulators.

 

The only thing from keeping this from being perfect is that it recognizes 8 of the 16 directions of the disc. The only USB interface (CGC) that does recognize the 16 directions is no longer being made so this unit may be your best bet.

 

I own both USB interfaces.
