jsoper Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Have you ever been told how to do something, then you just kept doing it like that instead of looking for a better way? People do that. But rats don't! Especially rats that can solder. For your enjoyment, here is a genesis adapter for the 7800 using just one chip. Full details, plus a cute picture at: http://www94.pair.com/jsoper/7800_gen_adap.html 7800 port Genesis controller --------- ------- pin 1-----------------------------pin 1 pin 2-----------------------------pin 2 pin 3-----------------------------pin 3 pin 4-----------------------------pin 4 pin 8 (GND)-----------------------pin 8 pin 7 (+5V)------------------+----pin 5 | +----pin 7 +---------------------pin 9 | pin 5----------+ | | +5V | | _|__|__|_____________ |14 13 12 11 10 9 8 | |> 7404 | |_1__2__3__4__5__6__7_| | | | | | GND pin 9-------+ | +------------------------pin 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Very nice! I can't wait to try it out. I made the 2 transistor/4 resistor adapter (stuffed in a matchbox) years ago and drew countless sketches trying to make it as small and space efficient as possible using those 6 components. This is about as space efficient as it gets! I appreciate your efforts! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I'll have to try THAT one. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 OK, my rat messed up and didn't check it with 2600 games. Turns out the fire button isn't working. I'll try it tonight, hoping just connecting the pin 6s together will fix things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
