This adapter is only designed for Atari 2600, Sega Master System, and Genesis standard controllers. Other controllers like the Intellivision, Colecovision, Astrocade, or Vectrex use a different pinout and may damage something. The Wico controller is analog so it will not work.
The keypad can be used with the Wico Y cable, I tested it out today.
If some of the buttons are not working, I would wiggle the connector going into the Atari. I've found that any problems getting the adapter to work can be traced to a bad connection. It seems the Atari's controller connector pins like to corrode after 30 years.

No it is not the pins. The custom y cable only allows start pause and reset. Even the originals probably did the same.

I may need to buy another one. I had one, but cannot find it to complete my wireless 5200 setup. :? Haven't played with it in a while and it mysteriously disappeared.

Would any generous Atari Agers have a spare Masterplay clone to sell for a reasonable price?
