BIG Trev Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 My Vectrex came without a controller so I'm building my own Vectrev controller.[emoji16] I bought all the parts on Ebay. Here are the item numbers for some of the main bits. Case 201121453748 Joystick 253169946622 Buttons 282696073230 The case turned out to be a bit small but it'll do for now. Here's the circuit and the board I made. And the case with the buttons and joystick fitted. I've just got to wire it up when the plug and cable arrive. I should have the replacement transformer by then for my console. Can someone tell me which are the most commonly used and least used button numbers so I can wire the red button as most and blue as least used.

BIG Trev Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I might try these parts if I make a second controller and put the buttons in a diamond formation on the right. Case 191321261334 Joystick 253169946622 Buttons 282696073230 Lead 222615690095 (and cut the socket off) Strain relief 271418619961 (no crude jokes please[emoji16]) Cheers Trev Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Very cool Trev. I just bought a VecAdapt and a cheap megadrive controller off eBay for $2. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
