Not sure if I follow you. When I go to "Define Joystick buttons", I don't get any keypad definition options anywhere.
This exactly. Is there any reason why it cannot be implemented to allow the numpad keys of a keyboard to be mapped to this and other systems that used the number touchpad on controllers? Even with the best of controllers it is not possible to have enough buttons to map 0-9 and #/*. Allowing a keyboard to map these would make sense.
Excellent news. I will order an adapter as soon as I can! Thank you.NML32 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:21 am Until reading this thread I forgot I had a Jag USB adaptor. I tested my Jag controller and the USB adaptor with the Coleco core and all the keys mapped just fine.
This is the JAG USB adapter I have.

Do you have a Colecovision controller to test with? I'm assuming it will work since the Jag controller worked. Because I don't own a Jaguar controller, not the console.NML32 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:21 am Until reading this thread I forgot I had a Jag USB adaptor.

Ya, the Colecovision's controller is bad. I may need to invest in a Jag controller!eightbit wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:36 pm That's interesting, I wonder if it would work as well. However, coming from the Colecovision era (I grew up with this console, Atari's etc) I will say that the controller is not really so great. I think the Jaguar controller will be perfect for this as it is much more comfortable and it provides the keypad. And, Jag controllers are super easy to obtain for cheap nowadays....lots of residual stock out there. I ordered the Jag-daptor after NML32's confirmation that it worked. Thanks for that!
Yes, I have the Vison daptor and it worked with my Coleco controller on the MiSTer.kamshaft wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 5:23 pmDo you have a Colecovision controller to test with?

The 2600 D9 supports the Coleco and many more controllers. I also tested it with the Coleco, Atari Joystick, and Intellivision controller on the MiSTer. Worked great.

I don't have the intellivision 2 controllers.

Looks like the one to get is the 2600-daptor D9, seems to be the most compatible.NML32 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 8:19 pmI don't have the intellivision 2 controllers.

Sorry, I forgot I was using the Intellivision FB controllers. I did the test with real Colecovision controllers.
Yeah I can't recommend this combo enough. I heard about it from Smokemonster's ColecoVision video. All 23 buttons are mappable. It works perfectly for all console cores up to the 5th generation (PS1, N64), but those cores aren't even available yet. It's a wide grip, but for someone like me with large hands it feels perfect. I like to use the top right button as the home/guide button and map everything else as a standard SNES controller with the number pad for use with the Atari 5200, Odyssey 2, ColecoVision and Astrocade core. I've even mapped the Power Pad for the NES core to this controller using the keys.Bits n Stuff wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 3:19 pmI have an NTT Datapad and that Raphnet adapter and I've never even tried it on MiSTer. I'll have to try them, if it works well then it's an obvious fit for the Colecovision.KremlingKuthroat19 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 10:46 am I recently purchased two Super Famicom NTT Datapads and a SNES Raphnet adapter V2: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/s ... /index.php.
IMO this is the very best controller option for MiSTer. Every core can be played with it and it works flawlessly. I highly recommend this over the Jaguar controller option. Super Famicom NTT datapads are expensive, but I got two on eBay.
Could this be done a core-specific basis, in a similar way to how AO486 reads both keyboard and joy pad at the same time? I use a keyboard, mouse, and one of my game controllers just fine there. I believe the same is also true of many of the other computer cores that originally had joysticks too. So what would be preventing something similar being implemented in the CV core for accepting input of the numpad and/or number-row of a keyboard?Sigismond0 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 9:43 pmBut I'm guessing it wouldn't be trivial to have two separate input devices acting as a single logical input. Right now MiSTer uses a 1:1 devices:controllers map, and whatever controller gets its button pushed first is mapped to P1, and whatever device is hit second maps to P2. With a change like this, it could get really messy with MiSTer not knowing which input device is to be used for P1 d-pad and action buttons, which input device goes to P1 numpad, and nevermind the fact that you can have two players and therefore four input devices to try to line up.
The stock CV controllers weren't too good, though the Super Action controllers were nice (and possibly one of the most unique one I've ever seen with their fencing-foil grip.) I still have one that I've used with a vision-dapter on my computer for many years (that I plan to try with my MiSTer.) I also remember it working well on a real CV (last time I used it with mine it felt nice there too.)
Worked great?? ! I'm jealous! I purchased the 2600 D9 adaptor and when I am in the Colecovision core and go to map the original Colecovision joystick, it does not recognize either the second fire button or the keypad. Really not sure what else I could be doing.

I am hoping someone can help. I have purchased both the 2600-daptor D9 adapter and the iCode Pro Duo Plus Pro. Both in hopes of using the colecovision original controller with keypad with the Mister Coleco core. I have within the core mapped the controller successfully going through up down left right and all the numbers on the keypad with both adapters. So I am thinking yes, it works. But once I start any game within the Colecovision core nothing works. I have followed instructions that came with the 2600-daptor and I watched the YouTube video from iCode (including setting the mode in the iCode device to Coleco and turning off paddles) but none of them yield the results that I am hoping for. Has anyone got either one of these adpators to work with the Coleco core in Mister and if so, what exactly did you do. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Can anyone confirm if the 2600-daptor D9 will allow the use of Flashback Colecovision controllers with the Coelco core on the Mister? I see some said the Intellvision Flashback controllers work which is great but cant find any confimrations about the Coleco Flashback controllers. Has anyone tried/tested this by chance?
