lucifershalo Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 A friend of mine made me that special controller for ATARI 5200 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Since the 5200 trackball is as big as a game console...why not?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 being a case is the hardest part of making a controller its decent i supose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I was gonna say the same thing. A 2600 console is about the same size as the 5200 trak ball controller. Anyways, whoever made that looks like they did an awesome job on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchd61 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I like it. Well done, although a case from a dead 7800 or Sears Video Arcade II might match the 5200's look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Would have been much nicer with a cleaner job on the keypad. Could have left the tactile switches in place too. A decent idea but poor execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phoneman Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks like a job well done. The Atari 5200 joysticks were horrible. They always break. When you going on ebay to buy replacement they cost a arm, leg and rib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'd like to see how the wiring was done. I imagine it is a variation of the PMP Radica conversion here: ... but connecting a different keypad would be the tricky part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Wow, Now that's what I call a custom controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
