tripletopper Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Which is the easiest way of getting my multi-iconsole fight stick working with the 7800. A) disassembling a 7800 for the PCB if it's the mechanics failing and not the electronics and soldering discrete wires to the contact points? If so may I have a diagram of where to solder for my friend to follow? B) building a 7800 logic board. If I read the logic right. The four joystick directions and the ground and, if necessary, voltage, are 6 straight pins. The buttons are the most complicated thing the 2600 fire is the 2600 fire in 7800. And the separate left and right fires have a separate pin. But the left or right pin and the common 2600 pin must actuate together. I don't know if my Hired hand can do that. C) just buy an already built PCB from Edladdin. D) buy a genesis to 7800 adapter. The main problem I heard with that is ping. By the way my joystick starts out at all discreet inputs and gets encoded four systems from NES and beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 If it has a Genesis setting, an Edladdin Seagull or other Genesis to 7800 adapter is probably your easiest choice. If you don‘t care for either button to register as the single button on the VCS you can probably hack something together as well consulting the schematics. Don‘t know whether the resistor for the second button is a must or just required to differentiate between 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I was gonna leave this as a message telling you where to shove this non-existent "fight stick" but instead I'll just mention you have been yet again reported for useless spamming.

tripletopper Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just wondering about controller ping. Should I assume the joystick ping is quicker by doing surgery on a 7800 stick. If so. Are there any "surgical diagrams" of where to solder a working 7800 Pro Line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they are on another forum and when you find it, stay there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
