Is the numpad really that important? I have one standard Jagpad and never actually use those keys, because I don't really know what they do
The prices of the controllers are too high for me to get a second one for multiplayer games, especially since I have a lot of systems to cover. That is why I would love to hook up a genesis controller with the D-pad, a, b, c and start used in any way possible. Somehow it must be feasible to replicate the decoder of a Jagpad with an AT-Mega or something and hardwire it to a Sega controller...
I see so many people slaughtering those expensive pads to work on other Systems but never the other way 'round and no aftermarket controller like for most of the other systems...
