CreatiVEmu Forum

Hello,

I am very interested in retro gaming, especially experiencing the earlier systems like the Creativision that I didn’t play growing up. I use software emulation and the MiSTer FPGA system for many of these systems.

My preference is to experience the system using the original controllers so I have a collection of original controllers and I have bought or am creating adapters for them to use on my PC and MiSTer.

I almost bought a non-working Creativision console off of eBay hoping to get the controllers working but someone snapped it up before I did.

I am excited to be a member of this forum to learn more about the Creativision and ideally gain the information I need to be able to experience it with original controllers if I can acquire them.

Hey there!
Unfortunately the controllers for the CreatiVision (Or Wizzard here in Aus) are definitely the weakest part of the package IMO. (Unless you get a bad board. I have one board where every single via seems to have failed. The board is made of something akin to hardened cheddar.)
There are workarounds to make various replacement controllers out there. I'm working on two different solutions right now.

Cheers!
