I have gotten CD32 pads to work on my Amiga.
The red button can be used a a joystick fire
button, and one other can *sometimes* be
used for games that detect 2 joystick fire
buttons.
I'm pretty sure I had been using it on my Amiga at some point a few years
ago, that's really the only reason that makes sense for my having the CD32
pad in that box.
It was only a theory that they might work
on other computers.
Logically it should work. I really should take a meter to the CD32 pad, as
I have a feeling I might have a bad wire or something in there somewhere.
Unlike the Sega controllers, I don't mind modifying this controller, as I no
longer have a CD32. I didn't really have time to play with this last night.
Lke I said in my original mail, some of the
wires *may* need swapping to get it to
fully work.
I don't believe so, however, as I understand it, only one button will work.
I'm still holding out hope for finding my Atari and Wico Joysticks!
Hopefully it will be cool enough on Saturday that I can go up to storage and
look for them.
