Ok........here is a MORE CLEAR explanation:
YES, you can plug the CD32 joypad (or 6 button SEGA pad) into any Amiga...............BUT!!!! only the red and blue buttons will work...NO MATTER WHAT! WHy? well like Sonic the hedgehog for instance..when it came out.there was no 6 button SEGA pad......so when the 6 button SEGA pad came out....naturally SOnic only supported 3 buttons..............this is how all AMiga games are.they only support 1 button! except some games that were designed to use a Sega Master system pad with buttons A and B....such as Project X and Turrican games................Only Most CD32 games support the 6 Button CD32 pad (and no the 6 button SEGA wont work unless you hack it)
Now that said...............WHDLoad enables some games wich were meant to work with only one button, use some of the CD32 pad buttons to remap weapons that were normally activated by using the space bar or FKeys etc....I believe WHDLoad CHaos Engine is one of them.............Also keep in mind that CD32games work on the A1200 which means if you install them to your A1200, then of course you can use the CD32 pad because its a CD32 game. Also kkep in mind.some CD32 games only supported 1 button because it was just a straight port from the A1200 version of the game and didnt need 6 buttons.
Oh..and very rarely you will find that the CD32 pad doesnt work at all on some old A500 games....not sure why.
Also some A1200 games were made that did support the CD32 pad...but very few....the Game that makes best use of the CD32 pad was the CD32 version of Pinball Fantasies!
Hope this clears things up.
FOr most games I recommend a Sega Master system pad or maybe a Genesis Pad........but very few support more than one button.some 2 buttons.
