@RetroHitch I plugged my old joysticks into any machine and they always worked fine. Suddenly now some need adaptors, I don’t get it lol
@magicknight different pin layouts for atari and msx etc. Many people plugged Megadrive pads in Amigas too and just got lucky they didnt add voltage to the mainboard.
Atari pin layout is the main one so fits most.
@RetroHitch I didn’t plug megadrive pads in other systems so dodged that bullet.
@magicknight Good! I know some people did and were fine but that gamble was never worth it! Always hard when a board blows.
