PFL #1 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 #2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFL #3 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.
