If so, while you guys are looking at joypad reading code, it would be a great addition to have. 3+1 buttons would be excellent, and those are much cheaper and easier to find than CD32 pads  |
You can read two buttons of a megadrive pad without modifications. Technically it will be drawing a small amount of power from a signal pin rather than the power pin to run its multiplexing electronics, but in practice that's harmless. You do need to swap pins 5 and 7 in order to have control over the button multiplexing.
