Genesis Controller Extension

[rgw825]

I am looking to buy a Genesis controller extension to use on my Atari 2600 and i seen they sell official Genesis ones and some 3rd or 4th party ones. Are those cheaper ones any good?

I was looking at these.

Well i guess nevermind, i bought them anyway. I tried to find reviews on these things but none to be found. But i read the dozens of Ebay Feeback comments from people who bought them from him and nothing but positive comments. I guess that's good enough.

The only functional difference between the genesis extension cables and some of the older atari/commodore ones is that that the genesis cables are guaranteed to have all nine conductors, while some of the others only have six or seven.

No big deal not having the official cable, it's just a cord after all. I've never seen a bad extension cable and have a few 3rd party ones myself, don't worry about it.

Thanks, that makes me feel better.

Yeah I might have to get one of these someday because the Genesis controller cord is short as hell. What the hell were they thinking? I mean most of my other controllers like my NES and SNES and PS2 controllers have so much wire while the Genesis has like no wire. I mean the video cable is longer than the controller cable! That's just sad.
