#CD32 pinout diag.
6 messages in this thread
I'm looking for the pinout diagram for the CD32 controller. Can anyone
help? Thanks.

Mike,
I don't exactly have the joypad pinout but what I do have is the pin-out of the
joystick port, and the fact that it is the same on the CD32 as on the A500.
The connections are as follows:
Pin 1: Mouse V
Pin 2: Mouse H
Pin 3: Mouse VQ
Pin 4: Mouse HQ
Pin 5: Mouse button 2 (POTX)
Pin 6: Mouse button 1 (Red button on joypad)
Pin 7: +5v (100ma max)
Pin 8: Ground
Pin 9 Mouse Button 3 (POTY)
Commodore say there is no easy way to read all the buttons on the pad – it
seems they use some unpublished combination of port states to allow the reading
of 11 switches. CD32 developers kits come with a lowlevel.library which
contains functions for reading the controller ports – Commodore say that this
is the only way to read the joypad. The up, down, left, right and red buttons
,however, correspond directly to a normal joystick, and can be read using the
normal joystick reading methods.

Mal,
Thanks much for the reply. Do you know if anyone sells the CD32 joypad
seperately?
Best,

I nkow of a company selling CD32 joypads seperately or a clone. The
company is SPECIAL RESERVE in the UK. It sells for 17UKPOUNDS. Also a
clone they make sells for the same price.
OR Indi Direct sell a normal one for 15UKPOUNDS. INDI on 1543 419999 in
the UK.

Mike,
There is a new joypad available for the CD32: It is called Competition Pro
Super CD 32 and costs around DM 40 ($ 30).
It is far more better than the original one!
