virtvic Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have just made this for a customer recently and thought you lot would like it? 2600 - Button 2 is wired to UP (for jumping that usually uses UP and diagonal up) - I'm thinking of making this switchable between UP and the 2nd Button for homebrew games that support it. 7800 - I can also wire these for the 7800 standard 2 button layout. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Where would someone place an order? Do you have an online shop like EtsySent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtvic Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 No, I don't do the Etsy thing, but I can make these for people, BUT! I have a huge backlog of Vectrex joysticks I need to make before taking on any more work. I don't want to make people wait for ages. I only take money when the things are actually made, too. They are £60 GBP + postage at cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+slx Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Might make sense to add a switch to change between UP and 7800 modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is *very* nice. Have a couple of other hardware devices in line for acquisition before this joystick, but will definitely be sending you a PM when the time comes.

If you could make the switchable layout standard, that would be greatly appreciated. It's something of a corner case, but I'm currently using a NES Advantage via a Tomee adapter for playing games on the laptop in my office. I would gladly bump that aside for the Atari stick you've come up with and get a new USB adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I'd be interested in one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Can I give some constructive criticism on this controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would gladly bump that aside for the Atari stick you've come up with and get a new USB adapter I think this would be difficult to do, as the up switch is just up and GND, whereas the Atari 7800 2nd button is not a straightforward pin and GND. If someone can show me how to do this with a switch, I'd be glad to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
