With this adapter, you can safely connect SEGA Mega Drive gamepads to your Amiga or Commodore 64. Please note that an additional DB9 adapter is required for the Amiga 600 (not included). The adapter comes in a 3D-printed white case.
Button B will work as the normal fire button, but this adapter also allows using Button C as the second fire button, for those games that support two buttons.
While this all works out of the box on Amiga computers, this adapter also allows to customize the button mapping to a certain degree: for instance, replacing UP with C might make some games more comfortable to play. This might be useful on the Amiga as well, so the adapter also supports an Amiga mode.
The default configuration maps B to button 1, C to button 2 and UP to UP. If you play Giana Sisters, you will probably want to use the C button for jumping, so just do the following:
- Turn OFF your computer.
- Remove the UP/UP jumper and store it in a safe place.
- Move the C column jumper to the UP row.
- Turn on your computer, load the game and enjoy!
