I can assure you this retro Battlestation is fully operational.

It also includes, not depicted or easily seeable, a sd2iec adapter, an Exos V3 module and a 154i floppy disk.

Time to play some Rainbow Arts classics!

And Bubble Bobble

    Mine always misalign after a while, so that I can’t get input when I push the stick forward.

    I just ordered a sega master system controller, should be fully compatible.

    The Competition Pro is great :)

      I just ordered a sega master system controller, should be fully compatible.

      I would avoid using a Sega gamepad with a Commodore computer. 1. the pinouts are different, especially where the +5V line is. 2. Master System controllers have pull-up resistors, where Atari standard controllers just leave pins floating. This can screw with the keyboard. Apparently some controllers use active circuitry which require the +5V line. I have even heard of them borking the CIA chip in the Commodore.

      My advice would be to get a proper controller that has internal microswitches rather than the cheaper contacts that wear out.

        Mhm so you know a gamepad that’s fully compatible with the ç64? Playing jump and runs with a joystick just feels so utterly wrong.
