- CP-1 CONTROL PAD ADAPTER - Tired of the old joysticks that only have one
- button? Having trouble finding an old standard joystick? Well this little
- adapter allows you to use any controlpad made for the Sega Genesis(TM)
- with your Amiga. Sega Genesis Controllers are easy to find (any Toys 'R Us)
- and inexpensive (about $13 for the SEGA brand). The joypad and trigger (B)
- button will work for any game, and we developed a simple shared library that
- other programmers can use to utilize the A, B, C, and START buttons in their
- games. Future games we release will (of course) use these extra buttons.
- The registered version of Carnage already does!. We both are currently using
- the adapter with SEGA infrared cordless controlpads on our Amigas. It is
- cool not being tied to the computer during games!
-
- The ControlPad Adapter only measures about 2.5 x 1.25 x 0.7 inches. Two of
- them will fit side by side in your Amiga's game ports. And it has NO Cables!
- The adapter swaps two wires, locks the select line for the controlpad, and
- will even time out after about 25ms to make sure that games that don't
- use the ControlPad Library can still read the direction and B (trigger) button
- like a regular joystick. It contains a 16 pin chip, a couple of resistors,
- capacitors, and a diode. I originally didn't want to charge so much for one
- of these, but it is very labor intensive (I have to etch the boards myself.)
-
- The CP-1 ControlPad Adapters are $25 each if ordered before August 31,
- 1995. Programmers who plan on using the ControlPad.Library in their software
- can contact Joe Carlson at 'j.carlson10@genie.geis.com' for discount
- information.
-
- The 'ControlPad.Library' is freely available for use by programmers to take
- advantage of all the buttons offered by the Sega Genesis(TM) compatible
- ControlPads. We don't believe that such an advanced computer should be
- restricted to ancient single button joysticks!
