Very cool joysticks still available!

That's good to see about the master system controllers. (I'm going to need some sort of pad/stick for my new amiga soon).

But what Roj said is a little unsettling, as I can pickup 2 brand new 3rd party megadrive pads off AU ebay for $12. The description does say they have some sort of mode button on the "shoulder" of the controller though, does that make any difference?

Ok question to set my mind to rest before I spend some money.

Will a genuine master system, and/or a 3rd party megadrive pad "plug and play" with an amiga 500? Thanks.

Why not buy a 15 USD PSX-adaptor from www.tototek.com or www.liksang.com?

Then you can plug your PSX pad directly in any Amiga!!! And use 2 buttons + analogue...

You just have to swap one wire in the MD/Genesis -> PSX adaptor that can be purchased from those two links, and off you go!!!

Because right now it will be much cheaper and easier if I can buy some new megadrive pads to "plug and play" as it were, (AUD$12), rather than $15USD on an adapter and another whatever it is $$ on a PSX pad. But that may be an option in the future if I ever feel the need for analogue sticks.

Tenacious, do you have a direct link to the file you got that pad modifying information from? I can't seem to find what you are referring to on aminet. Thanks.

Ok thanks. I'll have a look for it soon.
