5200 Paddles

[+johnnywc]

Hello everyone,

 

I've heard many great things about the 5200 paddle controller - does anybody know if a step-by-step guide (with pictures) is available or, even better, if anyone out there is putting these things together for a fee??? I have a couple gutted controllers and tons of 2600 paddles. I would love to play Kaboom! on the ol' 5200 the way it was meant to be played, and with Castle Crisis it's almost a must to get one now...

 

Any help is greatly appreciated...

 

Thanks,

[joeybastard]

its fairly easy to make them if you have the patience.

 

i've made 6 so far, i'd say try it yourself first and if thats not your thing PM me and maybe we could work out a trade.

Here's another how-to guide with some pictures: http://portable.0catch.com/5200paddle.html

 

Google is a wonderful thing

I had my doubts, but this was an incredibly easy conversion. Kaboom and Breakout are great with the rotary paddle. I never minded the joy/paddle, though.

 

I'm sure Castle Crisis is great with these too.

I'm sure Castle Crisis is great with these too.

 

Yes, it is. I need to build a few more of these myself!

Yup, these are great with Castle Crisis. I bulit four of them. The only problem is I need to find three other humans to use them.
