Here I'm selling kits so you can build your own KTRL CD32+ gamepad. KTRL CD32+ is a replacement controller for the Amiga CD32 with some really nice features. This new (plus) version has a few upgrades over the previous version (read below). You have a few options to choose from, occasionally I might even have a few assembled controllers for sale. Currently I'm only selling the black version.
1. Full Kit: 30€ + (24% VAT inside EU)
This includes all parts you need to build a working KTRL CD32+ controller. It also comes with the box, printed instructions and optional stickers for the button symbols and dpad.
2. Assembled KTRL CD32+: 40€ + (24% VAT inside EU)
Fully assembled and tested gamepad. It also comes with the box, printed instructions and optional stickers for the button symbols and DPAD. I build these on demand, I normally have them ready for shipping a few days after payment.
Optional: You can get the two button adapter for the C64/128 in this thread.
Shipping and payment
Airmail shipping (no tracking) to Europe is 5.85€ for one kit, 9.75€ for two gamepads.
Airmail shipping (no tracking) to rest of the world is 13.65€ for one kit and 23.40€ for two gamepads.
I don't offer tracking, it's a hassle, very expensive and not available to all destinations.
Note: Payment via PayPal as family/friend or add 4% to the total cost.
How to Assemble
Thorough building instructions can be found here. You will need to be able to solder SMD components (Atmega IC + 0805 sized components). The Atmega328/Atmega8A comes pre-programmed in all my kits.
Features
- Fully compatible with the original Amiga CD32 gamepad.
- Buttons are mappable (including up/down on the DPAD), so you can for example remap UP to GREEN for easier jumping in non-CD32 games.
- Turbo-fire with adjustable fire speed for all buttons (excluding play/pause button) .
- Four presets can bes stored and loaded. The presets stores mapping, turbo-fire status and speed.
- Responsive buttons and DPAD thanks to gold plated circuit board.
Updates to the KTRL CD32+
- Amiga/gamepad output to output conflict fixed. Due to the implementation of the original CD32 gamepad (and my previous KTRL CD32 gamepad), pin 6 (fire1) will have a output to output conflict every time the buttons are read by the Amiga. The Amiga sets this pin as an output and pulls it LOW while the gamepad will output a HIGH signal. This conflict is very short (a few microseconds), but causes ringing or erroneus signals and can result in unreliable gamepad functionality. The KTRL CD32+ will not cause this conflict and might be more reliable on some problematic Amigas (mainly A1200 machines).
- Fully compatible with the Commodore 64. The original CD32 gamepad (and my previous KTRL CD32 gamepad) has pull-up resistors on some pins which will result in some keys not working on the C64 while the gamepad is plugged in. These pull-up resistors are required for reliable CD32 gamepad functionality. On the KTRL CD32+, you can easily disable these pull-up resistors (alternative two-button mode), resulting in full C64 compatibility. With an optional two-button adapter, you will even get two button functionality in some C64 games.
- Can store default settings. The KTRL CD32+ has a default preset, as well as the four other presets, that will be loaded at start-up if it has been stored.
- Uses less components and has better positioning of LED pins and right shoulder button pins -> faster assembly time for you.
- Printed instructions with cheat sheet. Optional laminated stickers for the button symbols and DPAD.
