fred Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I just found the best controller for the TI-99. It’s kinda pricey but it works for the 2600, 7800, Atari 8 Bit, and with an adapter, the TI-99. The controller: https://www.edladdin.com/Super-Twin-78-ec-1-002.htm Adapter: https://texelec.com/product/ti-994a-to-atari-2600-joystick-adapter/ This controller has made the systems much more fun.

I thought about rolling my own using parts off amazon. Combined with a Teensy it could be work as both a TI and USB joystick. However, I recently found out that I was simply too lazy at this time....

pixelpedant Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Definitely would be nice for Microsurgeon two-controller play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controller: https://www.edladdin.com/Super-Twin-78-ec-1-002.htm It looks nice, but it's backwards (my opinion). If the joystick cannot be in my right hand, there is no use in my playing because my left hand is not up to the task. Button on the left, joystick on the right, then I least have half a chance...

digdugnate Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 im boring, lol. I have a plain-jane Atari CX40 stick and a NES-style 2600 gamepad I use with an adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
