The 2600-daptor D9 is a USB interface for connecting many 9-pin controllers to your PC/Mac, Raspberry Pi, or game console that supports USB HID. No driver is needed as the 2600-daptor D9 is recognized as a USB HID (Human Interface Device) joystick. No need to reprogram the firmware just to use a different controller.
*** 02/17/23 - Paddle jitter with the 2600-D9 adapter *** See this section on the main page.
Want to play Stella with non-2600 controllers (including Atari 2800/Sears Video Arcade II)? Check out the alternate "2600=daptor" firmware here.
** Does NOT work with Hyperkin Ranger **
**** Sega MS Sport Pad - 5/24/22 I have learned there are at least two different versions of the Sports Pad, and my adapters do NOT work with the later version. Sports Pad I have here that works has serial # starting C71. A Sports Pad that does not work has serial # starting E61.
Supported controllers (Auto Sense special note) -
Controllers on the to-do list:
Controller selected via Auto Sense or switch setting. Auto Sense runs when the USB is plugged in. Have the controller plugged in, and hold first that applies:
Keep holding until the LED is flashing regularly. Will default to last controller used after 3 seconds.
Auto Sense caution: analog controls (2600 paddles, 2800/SVAII knob, Bally Astrocade knob) turned full right can cause the controller to be miss-detected. Turn towards center.
The Atari 2600 paddles are part of a "2600-daptor" mode. When in this mode, you can freely switch between 2600 paddles, joystick, and driving just like you can with the Original and 2600 II - no need to use Auto Sense. You can also Auto Sense into this mode with 2600 joystick pressed right. Auto Sensing with the 2600 joystick fire button will actually select Sega Master System mode, but this works just fine with the 2600 joystick & driving (but not paddles).
Special key/button combinations for activating emulator functions (start/pause/etc) such as on a Raspberry Pi system w/o any keyboard -
Mouse output is used for the Coleco SA spinner & Driving controller. There is a joystick mode that is like the Roller Controller joystick mode to use the Driving controller with emulators that don't support mouse input - active by using keypad * for Auto Sense.
3/18/13 - Note on Coleco SA spinner & Driving controller - only emulator I have found that can support these is MESS, but as of version 148b, has a bug that makes it erratic at fast speeds. Hopefully this will get fixed in a future version.
Firmware is upgradeable over the USB.

Be sure to also check out the Ultimate PC Interface for Intellivision that supports connecting two controllers, and also Intv ECS keyboard and music synthesizer, and Coleco Roller Controller. You can find set up instructions and hackfile for jzIntv on the Ultimate webpage, about 2/3's the way down. It shares the same mapping.

After changing switches between modes, the USB cable must be unplugged and replugged for it to take affect!
