Atari 7800 Flashback set

[Xgames]

Hello i was just wondering if the atari 7800 flashback controllers would work with the atari 7800 as the pro line controller?I know this is a noob question but i just ordered a atari 7800 flashback and the pro line controller i have for my 7800 console is broke so could i use one of those controllers to work on my 7800 console or would i have to just buy another proline controller.I would like to buy one of those modded controllers if any can shoot me in the right direction for some new controllers that would be awesome .

No, they do not. They are actually Famicom/NES controllers.

What if you rewire them? If one was so inclined to do so...

The original Flashback used clock signals and the like, just as the original NES controllers did. They did not use open/closed circuits like the standard Atari joysticks. You could replace the wire with a 'dead' 7800 stick, and modify the circuit board inside the joystick, but that would be a lot of work, for little return (IMHO).

 

Any hard-wired joysticks from the Flashback 2 forward will work with the 2600/7800.

And use any Sega Genesis controller you want, and call it a day.

It's worth every penny.
