I’ve been modifying and restoring game systems for awhile now. It’s something I enjoy doing as a hobby to keep parts of gaming history still playable. Something I started a couple months ago for myself was figuring out how to make better and affordable arcade style controllers for retro consoles as it’s getting harder to find original controllers for some of these systems in great working condition. As I was making these for myself, I wondered what interest there may be for others that might not want to make these on their own. So I decided to have an Etsy page up to give folks an opportunity to purchase customizable arcade style controllers for a variety of these systems as well.

Does this use an encoder to get the trackball to USB?
How does Venture work on this?
What about using this on the Sears model?
new subscriber! thank you for your awesome review
is there a trak ball compatible for the 2600+.
Unfortunately trackballs are currently not compatible with the 2600+ in addition to some other peripherals. Hopefully a future update to the console will eventually allow them to work.
I liked your work so much I ordered some controllers from you based on this video. and yes, 1.1 update fixes the buttons and difficulty switches, as well as making many more 7800 honmebrews playable
Thank you so much for the purchases and appreciate the compliments on the video! I just sent a message to you through Etsy regarding if you want to customize the colors of the balltops and buttons or not.
those look very robust .. i remember the ring inside the original joysticks always broke ... do these work with the gamestation ( usb c / wireless )
Thank you! These controllers unfortunately would not work on the Atari Gamestation Pro. I have seen that a Xbox One controller in wired mode is a good alternative controller option for it.
@@bdretromods sad face ... i hate the modern controller ... i have one of those ... like i said, yours seem robust
Great controllers. Just got my + and am also waiting for the update to get out of beta before installing. Subbed 🤘🏻
Thank you and appreciate the sub!
Have you considered making a starplex style five button controller? I'd definitely buy one of those. Especially in woodgrain.
I wasnt aware that controller existed until you mentioned it. In doing some searching on it, I think I would be able to make something similar to it by building off of the design I did for the Space Invaders Style Controller and lay it out for the five button Starplex style. Thanks for bringing this controller to my attention. I think you'll see something sooner than later on this style of controller.
@@bdretromods cool. I hope it's woodgrain. I'd definitely pay a little extra for that. 😁
Can you send me an email? I have some designs to show you on it. Thanks!
Very nice review! Thank you for showing all of the controllers! I’m going to be streaming Robotron 2084 7800 version on the channel soon with the Atari 2600+, and I’ll be using your Dual Stick controller, of course!
By the way I want a four button controller now!
Thanks and glad you like the review! Look forward to that stream! Just send me a message on the four button controller when you're ready to get it.
It was your video where I discovered this amazing twin stick, we use ours every day so thank you!
Heck yeah! I've already given my Atari 2600+ a major workout with your Twin Stick controller I bought from ya. Might need to order a 7800 joystick now! Keep making em!
Thanks and glad to hear you are still enjoying the dual stick controller! I enjoy making these controllers to help give options to keep retro gaming going on the original consoles. So I'll keep making them as people want them. Feel free to contact me whenever you are ready for the 7800 joystick. Was good to hear from you!
All of these controllers are very impressive! Thanks For the info on the Atari 2600+ firmware beta update Brian! My Atari 2600+ is up and running playing Circus Convoy now!
Thank you and glad to hear you got the 1.1 beta firmware to work okay!
Awesome looking controller cool stuff thanks for sharing!!
I love the retro gaming aftermarket.
Nice!!!!
Nice
Controller looks great, and I love seeing the CRT! Keep up the good work!
I bought one a couple weeks ago. It is fantastic.
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And love retro games
Interesting that you choose Pole Position as it does support an analog stick and allows for fine-tune steering. Nice controller.
Looks great. Looks like it is about the same width as the Vectrex which looks cool.
Thanks! Yeah the width is very close on them. The controller width is 8.7". The Vectrex has a width of 9.75".
I just got mine today! Looking forward to trying it out after work.
That looks really sweet
Thanks for the update
very nice
This look amazing! Very interested and sending you an email!
This is just TOO wicked AWESOME! ❤
Nice controller!
I need this in my life lol
I like it!
Are selling or modding these controllers?
Hello! I am adding this mod to the controllers and will be making them available for purchase. Right now I have some made and available tomorrow at CORGS-CON. I plan to start making them available in the next week or two on my Etsy page. Thanks!
do you have a store or schematic?
Hello! I do have an Etsy shop. Here is the link: www.etsy.com/shop/BDRetroMods
I really like what you're doing here. I believe this is an area of retro gaming that truly needs talented people like yourself going forward. All those designs look very sleek, good job.
Thank you very much for the compliments. I appreciate it!
Wow, that is slick! I absolutely love joysticks and custom controllers for vintage consoles. Great video, nice work!
Thank you!
