I used Sega Genesis pads for many years. Now I use a Playstation adapter which emulates the CD32. Is this true that the use of Sega Genesis can fry the Amiga chips?
I think one of the extra buttons, when pressed, bridges a signal to a ground pin on the Amiga. I suppose if you're very unlucky that could damage a CIA, but I've never heard of that actually happening. (Of course, CIAs are probably a bit more fragile now after they've aged 15-20 years...)
