    Also I'm sure everybody will agree this thing needs some thorough cleaning! 🤢

    I had another controller to clean and I couldn't resist, so I opened it right away: this is a Dual Shock but it has the same cross with a missing leg and that's how it's oriented. I guess it's for the proximity to that peg but actually it doesn't look like it'd interfere anyway.

    Here's a little oddity about the Dual Analog Controller: this plastic cross is supposed to go under the D-Pad, but why does it only have 3 legs? It doesn't look broken, and I see no particular orientation where the missing leg could serve any purpose. 🤔

    The Dual Analog Controller I got on eBay definitely deserved some cleaning, so here we go!

    Never seen this before, but it looks great at first sight, so I'm going to buy it right away!

    A lot of work but the still behaves as before, swapping the CIAs had no effect, sigh 😭.

    The reason why I marked the chips was so that I could swap them! This is the one with video issues and I wanted to find out if the CIAs are OK. One of them generates vsync and the other one does hsync, so a failure can definitely impair video output. Going to find out!

    Sockets soldered! Going to clean up the chips and then test if all this work was any useful.

    All connections check out ok. The Amiga PCB Explorer is an invaluable tool for this kind of jobs. Now on to soldering the sockets! Can you guess why I marked which chips was which one?

    Pads cleaned, two of them came away, can you notice which ones? Anyway, if that happens, DON'T PANIC! They aren't connected to anything. 😚 Keyboard connector also got a bit smudged, but nothing major. Now on to checking all connections, which is even more boring tbh 😒.

    Well, that didn't take long! After you unsoldered any of the big chips, these small ones are child's play! 😚 Now on to cleaning the pads, the most boring part of the job. 🙄

    This was added in order to cope with the wireless receiver, which seems to put out unusual voltages, causing misinterprations of which buttons are being pressed. See .

    I have just added a disable function to MegaDrive++, just hold DOWN at power-on. This disables the in-game-reset and mode switching combos. This is only available in the experimental branch at the moment.

    Commodore went bankrupt in 1994 and we're still discovering never before seen devices in 2020. This c64 Game Machine was revealed by Andy Finkel today. Photos copyright Andy Finkel. Used with explicit permission.

    My KiCAD version of the 1Mbyte MagicDesk PCB is on GitHub now. All credits go to Msolajic/Zzarko for their release And for the opencart connector library. I only redrew everything in KiCAD and added some holes.

    My controller shield for worked straight away! Looks also like I got all dimensions correct 😚. I just need to polish the demo sketch a bit and then I will release it, hopefully in the weekend.

    Great video from on "fake" chips. Really worth the watch. Thanks again for sharing the info. 👍
