Hoessi666 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hello! Does anyone know if normal Extension-Cables for the wired Controllers of the Boom-Version work? Player 2 shouldn't be a Problem, but Player 1 has the special Functions for "Menu", "select" etc. on the Stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boggis the cat Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It would depend on how those functions have been mapped. My assumption would be that they use some ‘impossible’ simultaneous joystick directions: up and down, left and right, up and down and left... If we knew what those are then we could add those button functions to existing joysticks. They could be using a normally unused pin, of course. I don’t know as I only have the ‘Gold’ with the wireless joysticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I doubt you'd hurt anything by hooking up an old 9-pin cable to try it out. Maybe a smart person with a multimeter can test things that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boggis the cat Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have done some testing. A standard (straight through) extension cable works fine. The special buttons are derived from simultaneous ‘impossible’ joystick directions as follows: MENU = UP + DOWN SELECT = LEFT + RIGHT REWIND = LEFT + RIGHT + UP START = UP + DOWN + LEFT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoessi666 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Great! And thanks for testing! I've ordered two Cables as the Cords on the Sticks are a bit short in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoessi666 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Got the Cords today and everything is fine! Special Buttons on Stick 1 work and there's no lagging... So, Standard Cables work with the Flashback 9 Edited January 15, 2019 by Hoessi666 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
