rietveld Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Does anyone offer an adapter that attaches to the INTV 1 controller and allow it to connect to the DB9 on the ECS or INTV 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they do. I believe it is because it is fairly easy to do by oneself with a little patience, a DB9 breakout connector and either nine wires, heat shrink tube and the flat 9-pin header or a sacrificed cord from the INTV1 controller. I looked all over for the reverse connector for a super pro to take the DB9 plugs, but ended up having to make one myself. It took a couple tries to get the pins to stay it the connector. No soldering was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know the pinout of the controller and the ECS port I would like to have the two extra controllers working when I put my Tandyvision 1 on display next month.

mr_me Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) You can get the DE-9 adapter here; look for intv1 dongle. Although I don't know for sure if it physically fits an ecs connector. http://www.2600-daptor.com The pinouts are documented here. http://arcarc.xmission.com/Web Archives/Deathskull (May-2006)/games/tech/intvcont.html Third option is to try asking nurmix to make them for you.

+nurmix Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I recently moved house, and don’t have everything unpacked / set up as far as my soldering gear and cable-making supplies, but I could help you out in the not too disntant fiture - once I catch up on the rather large backlog of Flashback controller adapter orders I have yet to fill. Send me a PM, rietveld if you want me to make a couple for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need it in a hurry, could be the 2600dapter INTV dongle (depending on delivery time) . I looked into headers like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25mm-Micro-JST-9-Pin-Female-Connector-with-wire-15cm-Male-Straight-Header-x-10/171414224261?epid=808657939&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item27e9157d85:g:i0kAAOSwxH1T43ws but they all come from Hong Kong or China, so not much help for end of the month. Sometimes, a cable like this can help with poor connector penetration https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cira-Cable-To-Spec-Ribbon-DB9-M-F-5/362461426830?hash=item546462748e:g:4Z8AAOSwElxbx4dp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
