2600Lives #1 Posted August 4, 2008 Question, do the Sega Genesis controller extensions work for any of the standard 9-pin controllers? Since the Colecovision forces you to sit SO close to the system itself, some extensions would be a great idea. Anyone tried this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doubledown #2 Posted August 4, 2008 As long as they are pinned complete (all 9 pins) and straight through pin for pin, they work fine. Any extensions made for the Genesis should work for any controller with a DB-9 connector. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2600Lives #3 Posted August 4, 2008 Cool. I've got a couple of extensions for the Genny, but none for any other systems, and the Colecovision controllers are REALLY short, so, sweet. I'll try it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow460 #4 Posted August 4, 2008 I used a Sega extension when I modded a SMS gun for my 7800. I also use Sega extension cables with my wireless joystick receiver. I never heard of a game console forcing anyone to do anything. Hoes does the ColecoVision force one to do something...by holding a light gun to the owner's head?

nathanallan #5 Posted August 4, 2008 Shouldn't any straight cabled serial port cable work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
