Mega 7800 - Controller Adapter for Atari 7800

The RetroHQ Mega 7800 is a controller adapter which allows you to use your Master System and Genesis/Mega-Drive controllers with your 7800 or 2600. This includes Master System control pads, joysticks and also the light phaser as well as 3 and 6 button Mega Drive pads and sticks.

In normal operation the Mega 7800 lets you play 2 button 7800 and 2600 games with a more comfortable pad. In extended mode (where software has been written to take advantage of the Mega 7800) the 7800 is able to read all of the buttons available on the controller for additional gameplay control!*

The 7800 GameDrive in combination with the Mega 7800 uses the Mega Drive control pads to allow single button breaking into games (START), saving (Z) and loading (Y) of your games. This allows for the full retro gaming experience with the added comforts of an emulator! Truely the best of both worlds.

Lily G. ★★★★★

Plugged in my old Master System pad and it worked instantly on both my 7800 and 2600, no fiddling with switches or adapters. The build feels solid enough that I don't worry about yanking the cable during a heated round of Joust.

Chloe ★★★★★

Genesis pad feels like it was meant for the 7800 now—no more stretching my hand to reach that awkward stock joystick. The adapter just works across both my 2600 and 7800 without any fuss, and the two-button setup on the Genesis controller finally makes games like Joust playable.

Ella P. ★★★★★

Plugged my Master System controller in and it worked instantly on both my 7800 and 2600 games, no fiddling with buttons or adapters. The build feels solid enough to leave in the console permanently. This is exactly the bridge I needed to rescue those old pads from the drawer.
