Joypad / Controller options

[bbond007]

Im aware that there are converters to allow you to use modern controllers - but im wondering how compatible these are .  I've always thought the CD32 pad looked ugly and uncomfortable - although i've never used one.

I have a controller from a CD32 I like the best. I'd really like to make something that would allow me to remap "up" to a button, but thats a topic for a different day.

I did purchase this PS2 game adapter (along with the HDMI adapter) although it has not arrived yet. I don't know anything about it. it was an impulse buy because i wanted the HDMI

Personally I think the Honey Bee (sometimes labeled Competition Pro) pads for CD32 are best for Amiga gaming. They're quite rare and expensive nowadays (got one from ebay for ~40Eur) but I think its worth it.
While I think the Playstation2/3 controllers might probably be the best controllers in the world for modern day gaming(i.e. using analog sticks for steering) I never really liked the concept of having seperate buttons instead of a cross for digital control.

I have one of those. I actually prefer the stock CD32 pad, although both are nice.

I also have one of these

AmigaManiac's adapters use Paul Willingham's program in the PIC chips, which were provided by Paul for Nathan (AmigaManiac) to build into his adapters, so they have all the latest features and full CD32 pad emulation. You can thank Cammy for her years of insistence in sealing the deal between Paul and Nathan to get these things out there.

Is AmigaManiac back into making Amiga stuff? I recall that he took a break for a while.
