Joypad that's 100% compatible with CD32 Joypad?
 

Is there a joypad that's still being sold that's similar to CD32 joypad with the same number of buttons including the thumb buttons?

Yes, it's Boomerang, low quality but compatible.

I think you should try to find Honey Bee

These have just popped up on eBay. I did see them mentioned on various threads on here.

Apparently fully compatible and looks a reasonable price considering what the Honeybee's can fetch on eBay, tempted to get one myself. I gather those Boomerangs are pretty crap and too be avoided.

These are the ones which were developed by a user here on this board. He also did a mouse adapter recently too.

You can buy just the PCB & parts for £12 if you want to fit it into your own

This KMTech Amipad32 is similar to that one made by EAB user not long ago.

Beware, not fully compatible:

Lol, of course not. It was never meant to replace the CD32 pad. btw: Buttons A and C are the same. So it's only a 2-button pad on Amiga, C64, Master System etc.

Will a Sega Genesis/ Megadrive pad work? I remember using those on my A1200 to play Brutal Sports Football but remember naught about which buttons did what.

Rather than make my own thread I'll use this one..

I have 5 megadrive II controllers can I use one for the Amiga 1200 without problems? I'll be using the original Amiga joystick with the Amstrad instead :)

The MD II pad works, of course only 2 buttons. What we need it a nice adapter for the good existing pads (and sorry NO PSX controller for Amiga games). Raphnet has a nice SNES to Commodore adapter but for 2 buttons only. I've asked Raphaël a few month ago for an enhanced CD32 adapter but he never replied. :sad

I have an idea on the back burner for pressing 6-button Sega pads into service - I hope I'll have something to report within a week or two.

You already had a MD 6-button to CD32 adapter nearly ready iirc (last year in another thread). So, you will complete it now? Sounds promising. :)

Yeah that one was PIC based, and I had trouble with PIC outputs not pulling low enough, and transistor switching speeds. I've been learning since then, and exploring the PSOC chips (PLD and microcontroller in a single chip) which really lend themselves to a project like this.

Interesting. Any details or development pics yet? :great

Works a treat thanks :D

The first answer is 100% correct. Amigakit's controller does work, but it's horrible. Original, or preferably Honeybee. There's nothing else.

I got this hooked up and sort-of-working last night - four directions + 2 fire buttons are fine but my shift register implementation still needs debugging. Here's a photo, anyway :)

I'm very interested in this! PSX pads are OK but Megadrive pads are better! Even if I miss one button (one trigger) I'd rather use this.
Or what about Sega Saturn ones? Or while we're ambitious, USB pad to CD32 ;)

Sega Saturn would be easy except for the difficulty of obtaining connectors. USB is less easy but definitely doable - in fact I think someone's already working on such a device. I'm sure I read about it on here the other day?

I just mentioned USB because there are those Saturn USB pads and also SNES pads and more. It would be awesome!

Anyway, really looking forward to this you are doing. As I said, Sega 6 button [pads are my favourite controller EVER!
