Hopefully this is visible, but that’s the CD32 pad reading working for the MegaMulti. Standard 1-3 button joystick also work well.

I’ve never used one of these things before in my life. Should be fun! Wish me luck… 😆

I’ve packed my greasy weazle into an Iomega external CDRW drive case, reusing the rear panel connectors and PSU. A very tidy, and cheap, solution for casing a greaseweazle setup!

Now working in compatible (single fire button) mode with the ability to add B as up for games which use up to jump.

Also has 2-3 button modes with active high (C64) and low (some C64, Amiga and Kempston). Atari 8bits could also use this, not sure if any games do though?
I did a quick new layout for the MegaMulti, which is to be a multi-platform version of the Mega7800.

It will support Amiga, CD32, Atari ST, C64 and Spectrum (Kempston). Amiga and C64 will also support light guns.

No Amstrad CPC unfortunately, as it's a bit weird. 🙄

I just tested this, and it explains an odd thing I remember as a kid. Sometimes the ST would just keyclick like mad when you booted and the keyboard wouldn't work. Yeah, guess what, this is because the keyboard controller was not running due to the fire button being held down! 😂
According to the data sheet, if you hold down mouse or fire buttons when you switch the ST on, the keyboard should not function as the ikbd will be in an external memory mode. This cannot be the case, surely? I don’t have an ST handy to try currently… 🤔
