  Redemption 5200 Controller Adapter
Pixels Past and AtariAge announce the release of the Redemption 5200 controller adapter. Redemption 5200 allows you to use 2600, 7800, Sega SMS/Genesis, and PC controllers on the Atari 5200.

As any fans of the Atari 5200 are acutely aware, the standard controllers Atari shipped with the 5200 are lacking in several areas. The largest problem is that they are prone to failure, and it's difficult to find 5200 controllers that are 100% functioning. Additionally, the analog joystick is non-centering, making it difficult to maintain accurate control in many games, and the fire buttons are uncomfortable and awkward to use.
