nd2003grad Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Quick question, can't find definitive answer...it's well established that Genesis controllers are a no-no on C64...but what about SMS controllers? Do they have the same +5 or what have you that fries CIA chips with keyboard combined? I recently acquired some controllers so I'm curious...

jjh76 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 No +5v on the sms controllers, they have basically the same pinout as the Atari joysticks but with the second button is on pin 9, which is one of the pot inputs on the paddle controllers. http://pinouts.ru/Game/sega_ms_joy_pinout.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd2003grad Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Ah, so that makes it a 1-button safe gamepad....I'd call that good news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 on a side note. congrats on finding some SMS controllers! They seem to be quite rare now and no one seems to make aftermarket controllers because the aftermarket megadrive controllers work fine on an SMS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
