Competition Pro Question
« on: June 05, 2010, 12:21:37 AM »
Hi there,

I have a random question about the 4 button Competition Pro and was wondering if anyone here could help.

Firstly, does anyone know if it works on a Sega Megadrive?  And if so, which button is mapped to which (Start, A, B and C)?

I realise this is only tangentially Amiga related, but any help would be greatly appreciated.  The reason for asking is I've stated a retro game competition at work and I'd like to use a Competition Pro joystick for some of the old laserdisc style Mega CD games to give a slightly more arcade vibe.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

It's for making a Sega controller working on amiga, but you could figure out the other way around :)
