Colecovision mods?

[thewizdawg]

I like my Colecovision but hate the bulky power supply and clunky controller. I've seen on your website that you created a portable Colecovision. How about modding the Colecovision to use an internal power supply and re-designing the controller?

I think the Colecovision was great back in the day, but the controllers were horrible. Can you design a new brand new one? I would think it might possibly end up looking more like a Jaguar controller. Just a thought.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Standard Coleco controller consists of the following:

• 4 direction joystick
• 12 key pad
• 2 action buttons
  • Arm
  • Fire
• Spinner
  • Left
  • Right

edit: I cannot find a logic description for the ColecoVision Super Action Controller

• 8 direction joystick
• 12 key pad
• 4 action buttons
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Purple
  • Blue
• Spinner
  • Left
  • Right

edit^2: false alarm, found it, designing circuit now...

edit^3: man... this thing has 30 diodes, maybe if I use a priority encoder...
