New Amiga compatible joypads

[Cammy]

Thanks for sharing all this information about these pads, I've been waiting for someone to receive some and talk about them. Although there was another thread about these pads already, no one had talked about actually having one yet, so it was all full of speculation.

Now we need to turn the thread into a guide on how to modify these pads to work as 3-button pads, how to add/change the functions of the buttons, and how to prevent them from sending a 5V signal if they do.

Telling us that doing a modification on this controller being the same as on a Sega controller is pretty obvious, and we already knew that. The point of bringing up the subject was so that we can discuss how to do it, and take photos so anyone else can follow the guide. The modification mentioned in Hired Guns only works in Hired Guns and ADoom. I think it would be far more useful to people to learn how to turn the A button into an UP button for use in platform and racing games that require you to press that direction on a joystick.
