      is it possible to connect the DB9 for and atari controller to the controlblock? I know there are USB solutions however I have the CB and wanted to go this route.

        @aside Yes, it should work with the "Genesis" configuration. Both, Genesis and Atari use DB9, so it should work as described at https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2?tab=readme-ov-file#genesis--megadrive.

          @petrockblog can I add the momentary switch to this to leave the current ROM? Instead of using a kb or other controller?

            @aside Unfortunately, that is not possible. The momentary switch pins on the ControlBlock are hard wired to the MCU on the ControlBlock itself for switching on and off.
