Controllers For Sale

ALL ENQUIRIES TO – VIRTVIC.CONTROLLERS@GMAIL.COM

I make the following controllers to order, in batches. When I hit a certain number, I will start the building. I cannot give ANY leadtimes, as I make these in my spare time as a hobbyist. If you would like one, I can take your contact details and will inform you when I am about to start the batch that you are part of.  Please give any special requests (button colours etc) and also a rough guide to where you are (for postage costs)


Neo Geo AES. £80

 

 

These are wired for 15 pin NeoGeo AES (also work on some MVS arcade motherboards)
I can make these suitable for USB too (Mac,Windows,Linux for an extra £10)
The red & white buttons on the back are Start & Select.


8 bit. £65

Comes in ZX, Atari woodgrain and Commodore flavours.
The commodore case can be grey (C64) or beige (Vic20)
The left fire button is the regular button and the right one is mapped to ‘UP’
Handy for games that use up for jump (Bubble Bobble, Green Beret, Bruce Lee etc)


BBC B. £70

 

 

 

BBC B (also works on BBC Master) Has analog to digital interface built in.
Buttons are independant and work with games programmed to use both
(check out some of Tricky’s homebrew games – HERE)


NES. £75

Arcade controls for the NES.


Astro City. PC/MAC/Linux/Mister USB £80 (comes in pink or green flavours)
A megadrive version of this is also available (only has 1 start button)

 

 

True arcade controls with the industry jamma standard of 3 buttons and 2x player start buttons.
Designed to be used with MAME or emulators is general. Uses a Zero Delay USB PCB. Computers pick the hardware up as a ‘generic joystick’ Buttons can be mapped within MAME.
Example – both start buttons together can be mapped to ‘escape’ out of a chosen game.
Start 1 and down can be used for pause.
Start 1 and button 1 for credits.
Many combinations can be set in mame or use a keyboard to joystick tray app, like JoyToKey

I’m working on making start button caps to match the Green and Pink buttons & balltops.


Vectrex Digital. MB  / GCE / Bandai overlays available. £80

 

 

These sticks have a built in analog to digital interface. True 8 way digital joystick and 4 action buttons. Will work with any Vectrex from any region. MB (Euro), GCE (USA) and Bandai (Asia) overlays available.

Custom Left Handed sticks can be made on request.


Vectrex Analog BIG BOI. £85

An exact replacement for the original Vectrex controller. Has a 10k pot analog joystick (same as Vectrex OG controller) Has a bigger case than the other joysticks I make. These also come in the same flavours as the digital ones – MB / GCE / Bandai (with green buttons)


Vectrex Analog BIG BOI TWIN. £105

Same size as the BIG BOI, but with a second joystick for games that use twin controls. Can also be used as a regular joystick – the left stick and all 4 buttons are for the player 1 port and function exactly the same as the BIG BOI. The second stick is attached to the player 2 port. You will need software designed for twin sticks to get full use of this. Stramash Zone and a bunch of arcade ports on specialist carts work really well with this. Battlezone, Black Widow, QB3, Robot Arena etc.


Vectrex Asteroids Buttons Controller. £65

 

 

Vectrex Asteroids controllers. Available in ‘Upright’ (red white blue) and ‘Cabaret’ (greyscale)
These controllers are NOT joysticks. The top buttons correspond to buttons 1 to 4 of the Vectrex and Hyperspace is mapped to joystick DOWN. There are 2 small buttons at the back of the unit used for UP and Down to navigate thru multi cart menus etc. Extra small LEFT and RIGHT buttons can be added for an extra £10.

Space Duel flavour are also available (if you REALLY like the arcade port of SD, but work on all the Asteroids style games – same as above)

Atari versions are also available. The top row of buttons are mapped to LEFT,RIGHT,UP,FIRE and Hyperspace is DOWN. There are no extra small buttons at the back. The Atari version only comes in ‘Upright’ style and does NOT have the ‘Vectrex’ wording.
