- Nathan Vanderschaaf (nvscha69@calvin.edu) asked:
-
- : Is it possible (not easy, just possible) to use a PC or Nintendo or Mac gamepad
- : on a C64?
-
- You could rewire a Nintendo pad with a new lead, but its a tad fiddly to
- trace all the connections. A Super Nintendo pad would probably not work,
- but you can put a Master System pad on with no problems and a Mega Drive
- pad works as long as its 3 button and don't have too many flash features
- like little lights that draw power. (Only word of warning is that a MD
- pad will interfere with the keyboard matrix abit!)
