Wireless controller

Post by smoore »

Hi all

Has anybody managed to get a gaming controller to work wirelessly on a Falcon?

I have a db9 to USB adapter that I use a wireless mouse and dongle combination with but would also like a wireless joystick or controller.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks,

Simon

I use 8bitdo M30 gamepad for Sega Megadrive with simple adapter for power.

That's exactly what I tried, but can't pair the controller to the usb dongle thing - it even locks up the keyboard when it is inserted

Sega has different pinout so you cannot use the dongle directly with the ST.
Here is my adapter, the page is in Czech but you can use google translator

Thats a good solution.
To expand from db9 ports...Do any wireless controllers work on the enhanced joystick ports (15 port sockets on the left hand side)
