My company, Junies Creations, now offers new Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 Hardware. This includes Customized controllers, Brand New Accessories and Replacement parts, and many more things to come.

I have sent Stan his very own "Atari 2600 NES Joypad" to test my product. Not only is the controller able to be used on the Atari 2600, the fire buttons are hooked-up to function as the Atari 7800 L(eft) and R(ight) buttons.

Find out more about my new hardware by reading Stan's article at Atarinvader.com

After reading the article be sure to check out the hardware available at my Online Shopping Cart by visiting my website at Junies Creations.

My products have a 7 day guarantee that they will work without any problems, so order with confidence!

As I say in my article over on atarinvader, Junie's work is very very good. He sent me a demo model of the NES controller and its really neat.

He's got a lot of good stuff brewing at over there. Lots of interesting projects. If you are looking for some intersting options with your VCS, this is the place for you.

Promo Stan

Thank you. I have considered making Atari 5200 items, that why there is a 5200 "section" in my shopping cart. I just don't currently own a 5200, so it is impossiable for me to develop/test things for the 5200.

It's been over 10 years since I last had a 5200 and I am curious (I have forgotten), How often are overlays and the additonal numbered buttons actually used playing games?

I remember for the most part you just need the start button.... You might need the number pad to select the game #?? Seems to me you use the number pad for gameplay in Counter-measure. I don't think too many games require and overlay tho. Its been so long since I've played on an actual 5200 I guess I'm not the best person to ask.

If you are going to make a custom 5200 controller, I would recommend making a Masterplay clone. Maybe with a built in keypad.

I am currently looking into to, the only main problem is I don't have any games to test it on. So hopefully I can track down a Atari 2600 or 7800 light gun game.

I wish I was going, but can't. I don't have enough stock to bring, or the money to really drive there. I hope I can to one that is closer, the CinciClassic.

If you wouldn't mind telling me where I can get some information about the controller that would be great. But for right now I don't have a Atari 5200, so I will have to wait until I get one to start work on anything.

Thanks everyone for your interest, I really appricate it I hope to talk more later tonight.
