Sharp specialist <strong>You Make Robots<\/strong> offers two solutions to address this issue: the <strong>Sharp-Pad<\/strong> and the <strong>Digital Joypad Adapter for Sharp MZ-700<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd18 Sharp-Pad (analog)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The <strong>Sharp-Pad<\/strong> is a modern replacement for the original MZ-700 joystick. It is based on contemporary components and features the correct connector for the computer's dedicated joystick port, making it fully compatible with games originally developed for the original stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">My photo shows the older version of the Sharp Pad; the design has since been revised. A <strong>port extender<\/strong> is also available, allowing two pads to be connected simultaneously\u2014for example, for two-player games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some compatible games are listed on the You Make Robots product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\ud83d\udcb7 <strong>Cost incl. port extender: \u00a335<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joypad-Oberseite-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Joypad\" class=\"wp-image-32191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joypad-Oberseite-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joypad-Oberseite-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joypad-Oberseite.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sharp-Pad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd18 Digital Joypad Adapter (for Atari\/Sega controllers)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">This small adapter is housed in a 3D-printed case and allows controllers with Atari\/Sega-compatible 9-pin connectors\u2014such as <strong>Sega Mega Drive \/ Genesis<\/strong> joypads\u2014to be connected to the MZ-700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">It is important that the controller used has <strong>two independent fire buttons<\/strong> connected to <strong>pins 6 and 9<\/strong>. Only then can the adapter function correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Unlike other solutions, <strong>no modification of the game files<\/strong> is necessary\u2014simply plug in and get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\ud83d\udcb7 <strong>Cost: \u00a325<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neue Eingabeger\u00e4te f\u00fcr den Sharp MZ-700: Sharp-Pad &amp; Joypad-Adapter von You Make Robots Joysticks und der Sharp MZ-700 sind ein Kapitel f\u00fcr sich \u2013 denn \u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4751],"tags":[4843,4737,808],"class_list":["post-32335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sharp-mz-700","tag-englisch-verfuegbar","tag-hardware","tag-sharp"],"wp-worthy-pixel":{"ignored":false,"public":"3d328936e96e415e934c7bb2ab57b904","server":"","url":"https:\/\/vg06.met.vgwort.de\/na\/3d328936e96e415e934c7bb2ab57b904"},"wp-worthy-type":"normal","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Joystick-Adapter-Sharp-MZ700.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32335"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43105,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32335\/revisions\/43105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jungsi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
