Megadrivestick\n\n### Project description\nMegadrive stick is an open hw implementation of a Megadrive controller (also known as Sega Genesis in the US).\n\nYou can take advantage of this little board to build your custom Sega arcade stick.\n\nThis implementation features the following inputs:\n- up (with an extra pin if you want to map an additional button to the canonic up in your directional stick)\n- down\n- left\n- right\n- A Button\n- B Button\n- C Button\n- Start Button\n\n### Bill of Materials (BOM)\nBuilding this controller is very easy and very cheap, you will just need to solder this components:\n\n* **1X** HD74LS157P Multiplexer\n* **1X** 10K Resistor\n* **2X** A103J 10K Resistor Array\n* **1X** 100nF Capacitor\n* **2X** 9 pin row\n* **1X** DB9 Female PCB Mount connector\n* **1X** DB9 Male-Female extender\n\n### Support the Project\nSince the project is open you are free to get the PCBs made by your preferred manufacturer, however in case you want to support the development, you can order them from PCBWay through this link:\n\n[![PCB from PCBWay](https://www.pcbway.com/project/img/images/frompcbway.png)](https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Megadrivestick.html)\n\n### Images\n![My final result](imgs/P_20210510_183743.jpg?raw=true \"My final result\")\n![3d render](imgs/megadrivearcadestick.png?raw=true \"3d render\")\n![schematics](imgs/schematics.png?raw=true \"schematics\")\n\nFinal result using a simple electric box + some cheap buttons and directional pad from aliexpress.\nFinal cost of materials about 20 Euros.\n\n![final](imgs/finish.jpeg?raw=true
