Sega Genesis Controller on Colecovision

[chuckwalla]

Anyone try using a standard 3-button Sega Genesis controller to play Colecovision games? I find the Sega controller button is easier on the thumb than using the standard Atari 2600 or Colecovision controllers. :-P

Yeah, I do. Only one of the action buttons works for me, though. I once went to someone else's place and their Genesis controller had two working action buttons, so maybe I have a non-standard controller? It's the original Genesis "Batwing" type.

Not on a CV, but I do on a 2600. Works great, though it doesn't work for all games.

Yep, even made an adapter to support 2-button games:
