I've noticed that a few newer games offer the ability to use the second button on a Megadrive controller for use in-game.
I like the idea of having the luxury of 2 buttons in a VCS game but I don't really like joypads very much. I have loads of standard joysticks with multiple fire buttons on them though, of course, the fire buttons are all mapped to the same single function.
I thought about buying a Megadrive controller, stealing the cable off it and wiring it up to one of my standard sticks but wiring the Megadrive's B button to one fire button and the C button to another.
Do you guys think that would be a problem? Are there any chips inside a Megadrive controller or anything that would add complication to just simply wiring up the connections?
Any pointers would be appreciated before I hand over cash for a Megadrive controller.![:)]()
