Completely Dumb 32 User Quezzies

I made a cdtv-to-cd32 keyboard adapter. check this

Dunno, but you can find more about the aux port in the Amiga CD32 FAQ:
part 1
part 2
Here I got the info how to make myself an RGB output for my CD32, and the information to make this adapter, too.

-edit- yes it's possible, but you have to find the pinout of ps/2 (and make sure you rewire that for instance the keyboard data pin of ps/2 will be redirected to the keyboard data pin of the aux port)

You're welcome :-)

It's Aussie, not Ozzie. ;-)

In Holland, an Aussie is something completely different. But thank god that that time is over....

Aussie, and where to find them

Despite me being a gabbertje at that time, I feel in no way responsible for that. I've never had one, nor did I ever wanted one. I hated those chavs! :-D

(btw. it's the Netherlands, not Holland. bunch of Randstad imperialists!)

I dunno about the control pad though... although, are you talking about the compotition pro pads? i think they released a range covering the cd32, snes, and megadrive? the snes and cd32 pads being visually identical?

Nah, I was just referring to the standard CD32 Pad and the standard SNES pad. They have the same button configuration, with the exception of one button.



The original CD32 controllers were a monstrosity in my opinion. Uncomfortable and unwieldy. I love the feel of the old SNES controllers. I'd love to set one up for my CD32. I re-wired a few NES game pads for my Amiga 500 back in the day. It didn't take much to figure which pin did what, but unfortunately I don't actually have a CD32 controller to figure out the pins with. Maybe google will turn up something.

The honeybee joypad would be more to your liking, I think:

Can you still buy them new?

Hm, I thought it was, but now I can't find it anymore...
But there's still this CD32 controller available at AmigaKit, which looks quite nice.

Ah, a fellow gabber :-D

I still have 2 of those Aussie "suits" lying in some cupboard far far away... (with Nikes and DJ Paul t-shirt to match :-))

I never had such! Never wanted it! And no I'm not in denial, I just was more an 'underground' gabber. :-)

And Holland, Netherlands... same difference for all foreigners... mostly they know Holland better than the Netherlands. I'm from Brabant anyway :-)
offtopic...

No it's not to me! We here are Frisians and Saxons, and no Batavians, quite different ppl. You ain't gonna say either that Scottish are English, eh?

I've got a few Sega Megadrive pads here. I've heard they can be encouraged to work on a CD32. Anyone here tried that before?

Well, I've tried it on my normal Amiga 500, and it indeed needs to be 'encouraged', that is, click a couple of times on all the buttons before it works. But still, it doesn't really works nice. I think it delivers a somewhat different signal on the same lines.

Ehm, wait, I can't remember. I did have a 6 button megadrive/snes combi joypad. Maybe I used it with that. Ah well...
