Sega Nomand controller port

Post by Redmist »

Is there any way I can use a controller on the Nomad instead of the buttons on it? I guess the controller port is only meant for a 2nd player, but I've always thought the Nomad would be so much better if I could use a controller to play a single player game instead of holding the bulky thing. Other than having to use the buttons on the Nomad, it's basically a portable Genesis since it can be hooked up to a TV.

Anyway, I could avoid buying another Genesis to keep over my Dad's house for when I'm there if there was a way to use the controller, so does anyone know of a way?

Without a large hassle of modding it? I doubt it. It would take more time and effort than it its worth considering Gens are so cheap and plentiful.

Get a Genesis 3! They are about the same size as a nomad and just as sexy.
