Pixelboy Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Has anyone tested these Y-cables with "keypadless" two-button controllers, like the Atari 7800 controller, the Questar or the Fire Command II? I could be interested in buying a few, but only if I can be sure they're going to work with my third-party controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Has anyone tested these Y-cables with "keypadless" two-button controllers, like the Atari 7800 controller, the Questar or the Fire Command II? I could be interested in buying a few, but only if I can be sure they're going to work with my third-party controllers. They are essentially a straight through design (both male ends of the cable - where the controllers plug in - merge into the one female plug end). So it's the same as plugging a controller directly in, or plugging a controller into an extension cable. As to whether or not they work with other controllers with 2 buttons... I'm not familair with the Questar or the Fire Command II, but if the controller supports two buttons on it's own (like a modded Genesis controller, for example), then there's no reason it wouldn't work with one of these Y-adapters. I have tested numerous Atari-compatible joysticks with it, including a 7800 Proline controller, and they all worked. The Proline allows you to use both buttons too; just as if it were plugged in by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Quick update... I have the supply cables / parts in. I'm currently on vacation, but will be making more cables and following up with people on the waiting list next week. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I just PM'ed everyone that posted in the thread about wanting more cables. I'm currently making them, so if you still want some and haven't heard from me yet, send me a PM! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpotAnime Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hey nurmix! I'd like to order a Y cable. Just heard about these from a past episode of the Intellivisionaries. Black tubing if available, otherwise whatever you got. I assume you'll PM the details? Otherwise let me know what you need from me (besides payment lol). Thanks!

+sixersfan105 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hey @nurmix, are you still making these ColecoVision cables, by chance? I shot you a PM a few weeks back but haven't heard from you yet. I'd love one Y-cable if at all possible! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to recently moving house, and a larger than usually workload, cables have been put on hold for the time being. I’m not ruling out making more in the future, but there’s currently a backlog of orders for Y-adapters, and the Intellivision Flashback adapters I also make. I need to order more supply cables and get my soldering workstation unpacked and setup in the new garage (which is still a mess and only partially organized since the move). I’ll follow up with your PM when I have a better idea of timeframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hey, guys. While I am gearing up to make my Intellivision Flashback adapter cables again soon, I'm afraid I won't be producing more Y-adapters, for a couple reasons: (1) They require two 'donor' extension cables to make one Y-adapter, and factoring in the cost of the 'donor' cables (not to mention the time involved in making them), and the amount I charge per cable, it's pretty much a loss for me. (2) Some folks who have bought them have had issues with certain controllers - like 6-button Genesis controllers not working correctly with certain combinations of other controllers (CV game select menu not responding unless Genesis controller is unplugged). But more so because I get people complaining that some directions are not working reliably - on cables that tested 100% good on my equipment... This is due to worn out [female] pins in their old CV/Atari controllers that don't make good contact with the [male] pins of the Y-adapter cables, which results in returns / refunds for cables that are, again... 100% OK when tested on my equipment. Hope you guys understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that haven't picked up a pair of INTY Flashback adapter cables, please "Follow" this thread. I can honestly say that you won't be disappointed. Excellent piece of tech.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 @nurmix bummer about the Y adapters. Tell you what though, I'd be willing to buy a set of 'returned' y cables.. I wouldn't hold you responsible/return anything if it didn't work out. None of my stuff is worn out, since I use brand new cables to build controllers, so I'm sure it would probably work for me. This would be for my Vectrex, BTW (I need one for my Atarivox/2nd controller). Just throwing it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
