Okay, I have had two Sega Master System model 1's and BOTH had screwed up player one controller ports that only worked 25% of the time. I don't know if anybody else has had this problem? But I was wondering of the Master System II solved said reliability issue.
Theres no common controller port problem on either model of the Master System, I've had loads of both and never had a problem. Are you sure its not just the controller at fault?
It seems the controller port is off the board. I can't understand how that can happen. SMS2 does have the ports screwed on the board, don't know about SMS1.
You're not trying to use a Genesis controller on a game like Wonder Boy in Monster Land or Alien Syndrome, are you?
Nope, they were fully functioning original controllers. Most of the time button II would never work, and the D-Pad would only work going left to right not up and down. But every so often, it would work perfectly. I have like 5 controllers, several that were brand new, all Sega MS types and none worked 100% of the time.
I have the same problem on Genesis when I use a Rapid Fire Unit for Master System. It must be something with the port, I tried everything but could not figure out what was causing it.
My issue is exactly the same in all regards; buttons and percentage of time working.
reflow the solder on the controller port...
My Sms2 controller port died. No idea why. I never thought it was common though.
I cannot solder worth a damn, I'm terrible at it. Every soldering project I've begun has ended in disaster. I don't dare.Quote:

Well do it anyway and put it on webcam for us to watch.
