Subject: [Coco] Sega Genesis Gamepad on CoCo


Ran into an interesting situation. I have one of the Wico adapters to let me 
use Atari (9 PIN type) joysticks on my coco and with a standard joystick it 
works great. I also have an Atari 800 and I am able to take a standard 9 Pin 
type game pad from a Sega Genesis and use it on the Atari without any 
problems. When I plug the game pad into the Wico adapter on the coco it 
makes all the games act like I am holding the direction control to the 
right. I have tried multiple pads with various games and it always does the 
same thing. I can move the d-pad direction control all directions and it 
works but when I let go it acts like I am pushing to the right


Anyone know of a quick fix for this? I would not mind rewiring one of the 
game pads to make it work.
