I had these at one time: Atari 2600, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis
I have these now Atari 5200, Atari 7800 (plays 2600 games as well), Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and Xbox360.
Can emulate these on computer: Atari 2600, 5200 & 7800, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64 & also arcade games.

Concerning the Atari 2600 and 7800 you can make a regular Sega Genesis controller work by removing the internal chip and connecting the d pad connections to the proper wires along with one of the buttons (A, B or C) to the proper wire. Makes games like asteroids much easier. Of course if Atari had put the button on the correct side (top right) of the joystick then there would be no need to modify a controller. I suspect the same controller can work for the 7800, but you will need to connect two of the buttons instead of one.

My favorite system is my Xbox360 with water cooling and upgraded power supply which consists of a 600 watt computer power supply and one transistor. I play Halo Reach often.
