- To clarify on this a bit.. 3-button sega pads work just fine on Amy, and
- even can use the C button for some games. It can even be modified
- *easily* to use ALL 4 buttons on games such as hired guns and a couple of
- others (a SW game I have around here somewhere uses 3 of the 4 buttons)
-
- The 6-button sega pads are a little different though. I beieve I heard
- something about them being prone to blowing a CIA chip. I've done a
- little testing with the 6-button pad, but I haven't done so extensively
- for fear of blowing the chip.
-
- Anyway, that should help. If anyone is interested in the simple mod for
- using all 4 buttons on the sega 3-button (plus start) pad, drop me some
- mail and I'll try to find it.
