Little help with Tecno Plus Amiga Control Pad
While searching for a joystick/joypad to use with my Amiga I came across this one:
https://www.vesalia.de/e_tp511.htm But I have not found much information or reviews on this pad.  Any thoughts or advice, please? The idea of having 2 fire buttons plus auto-fire available sounds very good to me but I am unusure about the way it actually works.  I mean, button B is 2nd fire button while A and C are 1st fire button, right? If so, what happens when auto-fire slider switch is engaged? Vesalia states "3 fire buttons (one of which with auto/turbo fire option)" but nothing more. Does button A become auto-fire (just one press) while button C keeps working as normal fire (requiring multiple presses)? THAT I would love to play games like R-type II but sadly I have got no confirmation from Vesalia.  Anyone here whoever got that pad could clear this up? |

if its wired like a megadrive pad then its buttons b+c , otherwise id assume a+b , and probably the 3rd button no doubt does nothing on an amiga.

No, it's not wired like a Mega Drive pad. It's actually like a Master System pad. Works fine on a real Master System too.
A = Fire 1 B = Fire 2 C = Fire 1 again Auto-Fire is for A only (Fire 1). Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 03 May 2019 at 15:13. |

 @Retro-Nerd: If auto-fire is for A only then that must mean that C keeps woking as normal fire, am I right? |

Maybe i wasn't precise enough. Auto-Fire works permanently for Fire1, you don't have to press the button. But this doesn't work properly for games like Turrican. Auto-Fire is fine, but you can't activate the flash of lighting weapon then.

Ok, so I had a megafire pad laying around and decided to hack it like rare_j did on the thread I posted above.
However, I wanted to use the pad with both the Amiga and the megadrive so I put a little switch to alternate between the two fire button configurations:
