Wanted: The joystick cable from a Radica

[Unidentified Assilant]

So the radica has support for NeoGeo Arcade... whatever the hell NeoGeo Arcade is...

No, Ben is just using the cable for a neo geo arcade....

This is a weird request, but I'm planning to have extension joysticks on my Neo Geo arcade machine and the 10-wire joystick cable from a Radica would fit the bill (up down left right A B C D start and ground)

oh right... actually once my mate told me there was actually a D button on the genesis... for Michael Jacksons Moonwalker, a very poor game.

WHOA! Trust me Ben, you don't want to use the cable from the Radica controller for an extension lead!

I just finished modding my JAP Radica unit recently and I had to solder a DB-9 connector onto the joypad lead...

...the lead used for the Radica is the WORST quality wire I've EVER seen - PERIOD! It's even crappier than phone cable, and tends to fall apart if you even twist the end of the wire before soldering!

Best thing you could do is to get some 12 wire multi-core and just use 10 of the wires!
