Description
The Padapter
This board converts a SEGA MegaDrive/Genesis 3-button gamepad for C64 (and similar)/Amiga use.
All buttons on the gamepad are demultiplexed and usable by the computer, the adapter also provides two switchable mappings to help with games that used the joystick up direction for jumping.
It uses no MCU, and, as such, introduces no delay!
