    The number pad on extended keyboards has 2=down, 4=left, 6=right, 8=up (there are probably tiny arrows in these directions on the keys along with the numbers.. I would prefer these worked as an actual controller keypad, especially on those separate number pads you can buy (and some folks have, for that purpose).

    I tried a PS/2 numeric keypad.... The only keys that are active are 2=down, 4=left, 6=right, 8=up so you cannot use it to select numbers or enter to fire... The Num Lock button does nothing to change the functionality.

    Announcing the Super Game Controller for the ColecoVision

    in ColecoVision / Adam

    Now that CollectorVision has released their Phoenix console, there is definitely a market for a new controller....the original CV controller is a dog.

    I have 6 original CV controllers... only one works 100% and I don't feel like repairing the others right now. ?

     

    Since the Phoenix has an SNES controller port, I ordered one of the Super Famicom NTT controllers in the meantime... (lots of extra buttons but no overlays)

    So I bought a few FPC adapters for reference:

     

    1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9FJNR9

    Hi Matthew, 

     

    I would prefer the second link for the "Short Flat Slim Thin HDMI FFC FPV HDMI Cable Standard HDMI Female Plug to Standard HDMI Male 90 Degree Compatible with RED blackmagic BMCC Sony FS7 Canon C300 Black 10cm" I already bought one a few weeks ago :)

    The MK2 will *not* have an HDMI connector on the board.  HDMI is a licensed technology, and connectors are covered by the patents.  As a hobbyist I cannot afford the $5K/yr to license HDMI.  The MK2 will produce Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) output via a standard 19-pin FFC connector.  It will be up to the user to acquire the final output connector of their choice.  For example, do an image search for "ffc hdmi".

     

     

    Hi Matthew, 

     

    Thanks for the guidance... I saw the micro HDMI on your prototype and got excited..

     

    This is my new plan still using the panel mount extension cable in conjunction with an FFC cable with a female micro HDMI connector... (I photo-shopped an FFC on your PCB)

    Please let me know if I am still in error in my assumptions
