This small modification is to adapt two or three buttons to a joystick for ATARI 2600/XL/XE.
Some advantages of this project :
- More than 40 games are available and growing in the future
- Only the joystick needs to be modified by adding a resistor for each button added
- Compatible with some SEGA gamepad to use two buttons
- For developers it can be emulated from Altirra by configuring a custom joystick
- Modifications of some commercial joysticks are also available
- A test program is provided for proper testing of all buttons
The technical details to proceed to perform the modification are documented here
This is a small program to test the buttons, it was developed in assembler using MADS and right here is the source code and its executable.
Thank you Eyvind Bernhardsen for your improvements to the test program.

Thanks to colleague Mr Robot from Atariage for sharing this small modification to this joystick
Just follow the steps shown in the picture. Here is a 1.5c version of the pcb of the same joystick.
collaboration of colleague Bobo Cujo
This adaptation is to make compatible this wireless gamepad with Joy 2B+, made by the colleague Eyvind Bernhardsen from Atariage.
All the information on how to make the project are in his own repository.
