Something so simple makes such a difference!

So i just thought i sucked at Jim Power for the ST. Today i was pondering, man if the second button was jump on my sega master controller life would be all better. So i opened it up and it was as simple as cutting one wire (white)and resoldering it to the up (brown) wire lead...**your colors may vary**. BAM! All the sudden i'm a freaking pro, blazing through levels. What a huge difference from pressing up to jump and it took all of 5 mins to do.

Huh ! So, you made dedicated joystick for only one game

It works great for any game jump is up. Gotta put that lazy never used second button to work! If i wasn't clear before the UP button works as well still. So why would it be a controller for 1 game?

You could always solder in a connector so that both Up and button 2 work do the same thing, then it's still legit for all games! Love the idea though, never liked using up for jump!

The up button still works. I just soldered the 2nd button to the up lead so the controller does works for all games.

A good joystick won't give you any problem with up for jump. The main problem is in shoot em ups etc where you need to press a key on the keyboard to use smart bombs etc. I always find it confusing when a game on the ST asks you to press fire to jump.
