nd2003grad #1 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... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjh76 #2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nd2003grad #3 Posted July 28, 2018 Ah, so that makes it a 1-button safe gamepad....I'd call that good news! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danny_galaga #4 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
