Recently i acquired this relic of old videogames for a bargain, and decided to reform all its structure to be able to revive the classics of the 80's. With that a doubt came to my mind. Is it possible to find wireless controls for the mega drive? After researching on some websites unsuccessfuly, i decided to explore a bit the way the communication interface between the Mega Drive and its "original" control is performed and I started building a wireless interface so I could play my favorite games without need to be near to TV.
