I got a 7800, not to long ago, with a working pro line and a broken pro line, the working one I made the joystick tighter, and it might be more responsive, but i still feel like a brand new proline might be better or should I get a brand new 2600 joystick?

I dont want a gamepad, i have a sms controller and I dont like it for arcade ports, (I have higher scores on the pro line against the sms controller).

Another question is what lasts longer a new pro line or a new 2600 joystick?

Get a decent joystick. I love the 3-button sega arcade stick they made for the megadrive/genesis.

(and it's not a gamepad that you don't want, it's the SMS gamepad that you don't want. Megadrive pads are great. SMS' are shite.)

It's hard to beat a CX-40.

Are the megadrive controllers Atari compatible without modification?

Agreed, but it doesn't have the two buttons necessary for some of the 7800 games. I wish there was a version of the CX-40 for those 7800 games. I've seen those "evolved" CX controllers, but I am not sure if they work on these games...anyone have any insight on this?

I think I will look into buying a sega genesis arcade stick, but everyone I see is used, and im looking for a brand new one. I guess I will have to wait.

CX-40 all the way!

You'll have to wait backwards; they aren't getting any newer.
