Wired-Up Retro Premiere Episode: Atari Controller adapters get NES Controllers working on Atari 7800

Welcome to the first installment of Wired-Up Retro, featuring video game-related content pertaining to controllers, game systems, and mods. In this first episode you'll learn how to get an NES controller working to full capacity on your Atari system (2600 and 7800) with special adapters. This unique controller setup was discovered by a fellow compatriot on Atariage who goes the handle: 0078265317, and I have added on another adapter made by Edladdin to provide for 7800 two-button game functionality with NES controllers. This adapter goes by the name: Seagull78 and it can be purchased here: http://edladdin.com/Seagull-78-ec-2-001.htm

Also discussed and demonstrated in the presentation is the PC gameport controller to Atari 5200 adapter. This is an adapter which I obtained from Atariage member, bohoki, and he has made these available for the past few years.

The PC to 5200 controller adapter can be combined with an Atari 9 pin controller to PC gameport adapter that Ebay-member ikonsgr74 produces. This offers single button compatibilty for certain Atari 2600, 7800, and Master System joysticks/gamepads on the Atari 5200. It does not have Genesis controller compatibilty. The adapter I've shown in this video has been revised and now can be found here: https://m.ebay.ie/itm?itemId=272348471848&fromWatch=true

I now own the new version of this adapter, and it's better than the 1st one. Be sure to watch episode 25 (check out my Youtube channel to see that: https://youtube.com/channel/UCWNOKQ9MV7rR8w3dAN8mxtg ) to learn all about what makes it extra special.

The info on the Atari Flashback mini-7800 controller adapter that I made to allow it to be put into use on an NES can be found at two particular websites:
