funknflow5200 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Blaster, Centipede, missle command, breakout. Works great. Required minor adjustment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seethransom Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wow! I can't wait. It should have come today, but I was not home. It will be here tomorrow. I think I remember having something like this for my N64. It really made gameplay much better than the stock N64 controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I guess I need to pick one of these up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funknflow5200 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 defender with the D-Pad was outrageous as well. Ms. Pacman had the usual digital weirdness that ironed itself out over a few games. Overall this pad, Bohoki's cable, and my recent s-video mod have returned my 5200 to it's former glory.. atarimax cart should be here next week! ...and I just got my hands on a Sony PVM-14M4U for this and my PC Engine Duo RX & turbo everdrive! October has been good to me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seethransom Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I got mine today. I used Qix, and Pacman to test. After some adjustment (as mentioned), this thing is a joy! Both digital, and analog are great! I do have a question, games like centipede, you can control how fast, or slow you move. Can the analog on this Mako do this? If not, no big deal. I had some great gameplay. I'll keep a wico close if it cannot use variable speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funknflow5200 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The analog pad on the mako controlled speed for centipede and missle command and breakout for me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks for the tip. I found one on Amazon Prime for $5! Oh man, these are great joypads. A little awkward at first, but they offer so many control options. You can choose between the D-pad and analog stick with the flick of a switch, and there's even a slider at the top. Not sure if that would work with the 5200, but it'd be bitchin' for Super Breakout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funknflow5200 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah- can't get the slider to work- but it would be bananas for breakout for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funknflow5200 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Also- the rapid fire option is pretty great-- all in all, I feel with this pad my 5200 is all set now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 i think that controller also had a trigger so it fully utilized the gameport specs ive made adapters in the past with a switch to use the throttle as the y axis its easy enough to just run the pins from the throttle or the slider to a switch to make the slider or trigger y or x instead of the d pad i remember the slider on top to me kind of stiff not really conducive to kaboom high scores it would be ok for rudder control of flight sim and that's about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a USB adapter, you could play N64 Emulation with layout. That was always why I never liked EMU N64, nothing had the button layout.

funknflow5200 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I personally prefer a pad to a joystick (ducks) so that's why I never went the wico route! You should be able to get good money for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
