thegamezmaster Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is there a guide anywhere to mod an NES Advantage Joystick to work on a Colecovision or Atari 7800? Haven't been able to find one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think you may have to open up and check the traces from the control switch and button pads to the shift register IC and figure out which traces are for which function. Ignore the rapid fire option until you get the main part working. Slo mo probably won't work as most older game system didn't have convenient pause feature on the controller. I would look at mine but it's been missing. I had 3 CIB Advantage controllers and 2 loose along with few NES games and a couple NES decks that went missing a few years ago. Either I put them somewhere I still haven't figured where yet or they were stolen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradd1978 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The advantage will probably be similar to an NES pad in someways. You'll have to desolder the IC inside and any other components, then like 7800fan said, check the traces and continuity to decifer how everything works. I've never modded one but I've modded Sega 6 button arcade sticks to work in the same manner Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradd1978 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 http://youtu.be/FQbokBHvQXA There is diagrams near the end of the video. This was done by fellow AAer Thomas 3120 :-) Hope this helps. The Advantage will look a bit different than this though, remember 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Have done this one and worked nicely. Looking for a guide for doing the advantage joystick or Sega Master System Control Stick to 7800 or Colecovision. Can any one help. Sorry but I'm very limited with the knowledge of how to figure out how to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is there a guide how to mod joysticks to Colecovision anywhere? Seen them for joypads but none for joysticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
