It allows you to use many PC controllers like the MakoPad PC Controller. Lots more info in Episode 1 coming soon. I just saw this for the first time. I sent a MakoPad to Goodwill a few years ago. I remember thinking it was a very comfortable gamepad. Too bad I didn't realize the potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually not that expensive, maybe around $20 plus shipping on eBay for a PC MAKO Controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I finished listening to the episode. It was another good episode. I did have a laugh in the bloopers with you guys arguing about how to pronounce my name! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 DrVenkman's 5200 controllers will come with either right or left analog stick orientations and many different colored cases and button colors...more updates as they come in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Hey @Albert lets hope @DrVenkman and friend sell a ton of these controllers so that there will be a higher demand for Atari 5200 Homebrew games. Lots of gratitude to @smbaker for coming up with the original PCB Design. Edited November 8, 2019 by David Alexander 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I should make sure to give credit where credit is due... smbaker on Atari Age designed and produces the unpopulated PCB boards for electronic enthusiasts to build their own controllers. But for those like me that cant do that there is a website where you can buy pre-built controllers. The website is open. Get that controller for the 5200 that you always wish you had....https://www.maker-matrix.com/category/retro-gaming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Bought two of them yesterday. Can't wait to try them out!! I just got to thinking, if you bought a left stick and a right stick controller you could probably play Space Dungeon and Robotron with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, this You tuber thinks the 5200 has no modern day support. Well he is very wrong. Lets educate him in a polite way of course... Edited November 13, 2019 by David Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) The original controller with the gold rebuild kit is still the best for these analog type games like Missile Command, Star Raiders, etc., Still a great controller for games that the self centering doesn't interfere with game play. Of course as you mentioned the trak ball cannot be beat for analog games. Edited November 22, 2019 by David Alexander 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Alexander Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Ed and Jarrod I think you guys have finally come up with a solution that all of us wanted. The ability to use overlays. Great idea both of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
