NES controllers on Atari 2600/7800 and 2600 ctlrs on 5200

[ave1]

Just thought there might be some interest here in my presentation video which describes a way to get NES controllers of all types working on everything from an Atari 2600 to Commodore 64 to Atari 7800 to Sega Genesis. This was discovered by Atariage member, 0078265317, and I explain the method used in detail.

I also discuss a cheap way of getting PC , Atari 2600, 7800, and Master System controllers/gamepads working on the Atari 5200. Hope you enjoy!

You really can't go wrong with an NES controller, right?

Very cool! Thanks for that. High on my to-do/get stuff for list. You've got an awesome collection.
Looking forward to future installments!

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would bother to get an NES controller working on a 2600. The 3-button Genesis controller is completely plug-and-play and works great for joy stick games.

That said, any thing to replace the 5200 controller would be a godsend for Atari fans.

I'll be sure to show you a lot more where that came from. In fact, in the next two episodes I will introduce a new discovery that may be a game-changer for Atari fans everywhere.
