DB15 Neo Geo / Atari 5200 / Jaguar

[peke]

Hi to all, I want to use original 5200 controllers on mister, does anyone did it?

I found these....I have the parts to make a neo geo arcade stick, so maybe I can do it USB and use this adaptor (for atari 5200, neo geo usb stick and atari jaguar).

Bummer, shows as unavailable to the US.

That aliexpress link is for a USB to DB15 adapter, you want something like icode's 5200 adapter:

(I haven't tried it myself though, so can't vouch for its quality)

The adapter from Timeharvest might become available in the US if/when the tariff situation improves, but it's probably based on the open source USB2DB15 adapter:
https://github.com/Raphfriend/USB2DB15
This can be made or bought online, but again such adapters aren't for using 5200 (or Neo Geo) controllers on MiSTer, they're for using USB controllers on Neo Geo/superguns.

Hi peke! The adapter from your link will not work because it's USB to DB15. You need a DB15 male to USB adapter.
This one could work https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007891658548.html

I have the same need. I want to use a Neo Geo arcade stick to the mister in USB. I will make my custom adapter following this YT tutorial https://youtu.be/injsfVn5ias?si=3Tjrv5FJohQLmXsr. Just for fun!
