Atari Jaguar to 5200 Controller Adapter

I first saw an adapter that allowed use of an Atari Jaguar controller on a 5200 years ago on the 8-bit lab rat site: http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/jag_adapter.html

 

I acquired my first Jaguar last year and was surprised by how much I liked the controller so I revisited the aforementioned adapter to make the Jag controller compatible with other systems that require a keypad. It still looked... complex.

 

I starting messing around with the Arduino a couple years ago and thought it could do most of the work here, eliminating a lot of components from the lab rat adapter. I still needed the digital to analog conversion portion since the Arduino doesn't output analog. I decided to try the same method in the lab rat adapter to accomplish that conversion, rather than using low_budget's circuit that I used for the MasterPlay clones that I made recently. The circuit seems to work well, with good compatibility, and eliminates the need for adjustment knobs.

 

Here's a video of the adapter in action:
