Coleco Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Would it be possible to create a simple splitter that allowed continued access to the stock FB9 controller's on-stick buttons while using a "real" joystick or a Retron pad or something similar?

Serial comms typically use only four pins, and they save a couple of cents by not wiring up unused pins. You could buy two joystick extension leads then splice them together.

I bought this adapter to try out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XGOPF2/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_IgJ7EbD0TP109 It works great, indicating all 9 pins are wired from end-to-end. I have both a joystick and a pair of paddles connected to the left port leaving the right port free for another pair of paddles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
