Okay I want to know more about that CV game pad. That looks 100 times more comfortable than the original. Sure, can't use overlays, but who cares?

It's one of doubledown's mods, if I remember correctly. Which controller did he use? I think it was from a japanese system, can't remember which one. But he rewired it to work with the ColecoVision.

i think it was a CD-I controller.

Hmm-- The CD-i game controllers I have all look like NES Dogbone controllers.

That was a controller that came with the NTT Data modem for the Super Famicom.

Hi

I don't think there should be joysticks with an upcoming CV2 from the start.

Use the original controllers from CV1, build some by your self or allowing third party to produce usable controllers.

It also opens up for joysticks, where you don't need the level of difficulty, so no number keypad, just player 1 and 2 Fire/Jump.

Many of the new games do not use the skill level anyway.

A new controller with numeric keypad may also need new overlays adapted to the new mummeric keypad.

Controllers to the upcoming CV2 will slow further and increase the price of the project.
