And yes, I know about the #JoyMega adapter for using #Sega #Megadrive controllers on #MSX. I build and sell them. But this is a fun exercise.
#Msx
Trying to design my own #NES inspired #gamepad for the #MSX. Let's see how it turns out.
There were commercial models in this style (like the "joycards") back in the day, but today they are not common, specially in Brazil.
Despite being an excellent games platform, many of the joysticks and gamepads for the MSX suck. They are either too small, buttons too stiff, or (in the case of joysticks) unsuitable for genres like platformers.
