Danjovic Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It is possible, using a usb host board and a microcontroller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched the web and found none ... I have a USB joystick which I constructed (Tron multicontroller) and I got it working on the 5200 through a series of adapters and additional power supply. Here's the video about that: In the video I featured 4 separate diagrams that can be used if you want to connect USB controllers to Atari consoles. Diagram #3 in the video is probably the one you're after. Here's a special link which shows my USB joystick to 5200 setup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LDzKwyBS47AGzB7B1YRXkS_-oiSpvQ87/view Hope that helps.

I already have watched many of the Wired Up retro videos but not this one. But i minds well buy a 5200 Competition pro or go with an Atari 2600 or Amiga joystick with just Ikonsgr74 adapter ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
