Sega Naomi Wild riders - can you use a joystick?

Post by joyousjake »

Before i go upgrading my naomi 1 setup to a naomi 2 setup and wild riders cart - does anyone know if i can use a joystick or will i have to invest in the cabinet controller too?
Thanks

Surely it be like playing outrun on a joystick?
I don't think it's possible?

Hey!

Sadly you would need the original game I/O board + the controllers to play the game. Without the I/O board the game will not boot! It is one of the most difficult tasks to setup games that need custom controls and sadly you won't come across them very often. I guess the only way to play it is trying to find somebody on the forums who sells the i/o and matching controllers.

Good luck!

you could wire up an analog to digital converter for the controls but it wouldn't play very well.
