Found Cheap/broken Mega Drive controller (3 button)

[slk486]

Now that I've got an overclocked MD, I found out that my pad hack (based on a 6 button md controller) for my arcade stick doesn't work properly with some games (TF IV), with the overclock. I've tested a few 6 btn vs 3 btn controllers and it's the 6 button controllers in general that do not play nice, so... I'd like to do a new pad hack for my arcade stick, this time using a 3 button controller as a base

Only need the pcb with the coord, so if you have an old beat up or similar Mega Drive controller, I'd appreciate a heads up!

I don't have a dead pad, but the circuit's pretty simple if you want to have a go at building your own: http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=controls:megadrive_genesis_controller_3

You and your DIY's.

I'd prefer a premade pcb, but would consider a kit, so I don't have to source the individual items myself :roll:

I'm in the progress of doing the same (reusing an old worn out Megadrive pad as base for an arcade stick), but there's hardly anything on that thing, just the 74157 and the 9 resistors, then you'd need maybe a simple piece of breadboard to connect it all in a nicer fashion.

Well good luck in sourcing an old pad, or whatever you do.
