Is that really all there is to the controller?? Hmmm, a custom Moon Lander throttle isn't so far fetched after all!

He sort of glossed over the fact that the robotics joystick has the pots built in for analog control and he had to do some real trial and error to match up proper resistors to match the new stick's range with the Vectrex stick's range.  It's some pretty nice work.


You could sell that controller on the Vectrex groups very easily.  People would buy it.


My favorite Vectrex controller is the Playstation to Vectrex adapter.  Fully analog Dual Shock control on the Vectrex with a PS1 controller.  Even when it was being made that thing was nearly unobtanium and I've never seen one in person other than the one I have.

Well now you pretty much have to work up an overlay for that controller.

Where did the molded 2600/serial style cable come from?

Harvested from a useless and beat to crap genesis controller. I might ponder looking into ordering materials to build some more and come up with a label.



Here's a video that shows the analog function against an original.


good day.
