nick3092 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 While you can convert other system controllers to Intv, it's a bit more complex and not ideal. The Intv uses a matrix for its input, as opposed to other systems that used dedicated pins for directions and buttons. Not to mention the lack of a key pad eliminates any game that uses it to select options when starting a game or during gameplay. And the Intv used a 16way disc. While the best a genesis controller can do is 8way. Which is fine for a good portion of the games. But not ideal for some, and I believe a couple might not really be playable with only 8.

mr_me Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Intellivision uses four pins for up, down, left, right; like any other system. A fifth pin is used for most diagonals. Each side button does use two pins but that can be taken care of with a couple of diodes. Some games do use the keypad for the third action button, e.g. defender, space hawk, astrosmash. Otherwise a y-adapter would give you access to the original keypad. Edited March 13, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold that one and then made several more for sale here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/264012-sega-to-intellivision-controller-adapter I lost so much money making these, that I hesitate to make any more.

intvdave Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 A Sega Genesis controller that can play on Intellivision 2 system How about playing in emulation and using an interface so that you do need to modify the controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
