Digital Joypad adapter for Sharp MZ700 (improved)
New: improved the circuit so it is now compatible with the ST-2 Game too.
I've developed an adapter to allow Atari/Sega type controllers to work on a Sharp Mz700. It requires a joystick or joypad with 2 independent fire buttons on pins 6 & 9. The Sega Genesis or MegaDrive joypads listed and have been tested with numerous games.
No need to modify the game binaries as I'm aware another solution on the market requires you to do this. Mine just works

In around a month's time, I will be also offering my own joypad designed for this unit.
Pinout:
1 = up, 2 = down, 3 = left, 4 = right, 5 = nc, 6 = left fire, 7 = nc, 8 = ground, 9 = right fire.
