PFL Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Is it easy to rewire a 7800 control pad so that the second button works a la the B and C buttons of a Megadrive controller? I think it would look really cool alongside my 2600 Jr. I also hate the other redundant buttons on a Megadrive controller. It's not very elegant!

RevEng Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 nems wrote a tutorial on how to add a (genesis style) second button to a 2600 joystick. It's probably a good starting point. It's worth mentioning that the pad won't be compatible with 7800 two-button games after converting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thank you. That's perfect. I think I'm going to try it on my Sega Master System 'arcade' stick first. Call me a masochist but I actually like those things! If all goes well (I'm not the best with a soldering iron) I'll buy a 7800 controller. Compatibility issues don't bother me as I don't have a 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
