Sega Megadrive controllers on the 9-pin ports #137

Closed boomlinde closed 4 years ago

Is it possible to use Sega three- or six button joypads with the MiST? The wiki notes here that Atari-style joysticks are supported, but I've seen other sources suggest that you can use a Sega three button joypad. If so, can all the buttons be used in the Sega Megadrive core?

No, they don't work. But you can use a Megadrive to USB converter.

Thank you, that's a good idea!

I wonder, how much latency is expected by using the USB controller instead of the Joystick input?
