All Sega Master System and Mega Drive controllers will work on Amigas as 2-button pads (buttons B and C on the Mega Drive pad work as buttons 1 and 2).

What ever you do though, don't ever plug or unplug the controllers while the A1200 is switched on, because it can blow a CIA chip, and you'll lose your right audio channels.

Oh, and Sega phaser guns don't work on the Amiga, unfortunately.

fryguy, that's awesome news, thanks! I can't believe I never saw the thread over on EAB, I'll be trying this adapter out this week for sure. I was watching an auction for a brand new Actionware phaser a few weeks ago on eBay but got distracted when I was going to snipe it and missed out, I was pretty bummed out.

I'm going to stock up on SMS Phaser guns now, and see about getting a bunch of these adapters made. A CD32 WHDLoad disc with the entire Amiga light-gun collection on it would be pretty neat.
