thegamezmaster Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Does anyone know about this? Can't remember where I saw it. I think it was a like a joypad controller. Can anyone help with info or price and where? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 This probably NOT what you are looking for since it is not a pad but this is the only Robotron controller that I have ever seen. http://edladdin.com/Super-Twin-78-ec-1-002.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegamezmaster Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 No if I remember right it looked like a nes controller with two dpads. One on each side. Thanks for the replies though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pictures below) I made this a few weeks ago, really wanted a solution for Robotron. I came up with this, had to do some surgery on the case and had a friend make a label. I actually put it on Ebay to see if there was interest, and try and get some funds ready for the home-brew rush at the end of November I was planning on making a few of these... It works pretty well, diagonals aren't the greatest with it being an NES pad but I still got my highest scores with this controller PM me if your interested 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 No if I remember right it looked like a nes controller with two dpads. One on each side. Thanks for the replies though! I can vouch for the Edladdin Super Twin 78. I have one and its uncanny when paired with 7800 Robotron. It almost feels like the controller was made alongside the game BITD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Here's my Robotron controller. Picked this up from an old Usenet buddy BITD, and still love it JT! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I made this a long time ago, it does a shitload more than just support Robotron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Too bad those aren't available anymore. Should be a staple in the AA Store! I never sold any, I got bored with the project, because of 2 people making arcade sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Jeez… too bad. I'd love an excuse to use a DualShock controller these days! You can ask iesposta to send you the one he has currently. I only made two and he currently has the second one, it went around several members already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldenWheels Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You can always mount the pain-lines to a board....they work GREAT set up like this (they're not good for much else anyway IMO)! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that. I am going to have to try it. Is there any special purpose to the half circle cuts in the board?

+GoldenWheels Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I really like that. I am going to have to try it. Is there any special purpose to the half circle cuts in the board? Not really....I guess I thought it would look cooler than just a square board. It did (very unintentionally) work out good for wrapping the cords around though. I used stickem velcro on the bottom of the controllers (which does peel off of plastic with no damage if needed), then three zip ties for each controller, through the board. They are rock solid and I can wail on the thing, and the pretty short throw of the pro line sticks work great for quick reactions in Robotron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I used zip ties and mounted two tac 2 controllers to a leftover shelving board. Works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hmm. With a couple CX40's, one could easily build a lego approximation. There was a prototype 7800 joystick coupler, and I thought someone said they developed a 3D printer file so one could create a replica. Was the file ever created?
