Hello again. I have a Sega Genesis (US) controller and wonder if it will work on my Amiga. I did some Google searching and heard something about there being issues with the US Genesis controller possibly messing up Amiga's. Is this true? If so, is there a solution to prevent this from happening?
I've never had a problem with unmodified 3 button Sega brand controllers used with various Amigas. The B button is the normal Amiga fire button, C is the alternate used by some Amiga games and the other buttons do nothing. The ADoom.readme from ADoom on Aminet recommends to swap lines 5 and 7 and put a 470 ohm resistor between them (pins 5 and 7) for both 3 and 6 button Genesis controllers. This makes the A button usable with ADoom and maybe Hired Guns. There are some off brand Sega Genesis pads that are electrically different inside so it's possible they won't work the same with and without the mod.
