I remember when I was a kid, I had MSX AX-170 and used a SEGA Mega Drive Joystick with it to play games.
Now I read on the internet that it is not compatible.
Now I have an MSX AX-200 fixed a lot of stuff with it and I have a Mega Drive Joystick but I am afraid to use it until I am sure with it. Is is compatible AND SAFE to use on MSX??

Mega drive controllers are **not** compatible with the msx joystick standard. You will need to either modify the controller or use an adapter like the JoyMega if you want to use it with the msx.
