I HATE this Joystick. Help me find a new one?
Megadrive/Genesis game pads are great - an adapter like https://github.com/SukkoPera/OpenC64MegaDrivePadAdapter as it allows you to have a button mapped to joystick Up which makes platformers so much more bearable

Potential Mods
That said, of all of those, composite out is not too much of a stretch and parts can be had for less than $10 if you really shop around. rough info here. Note that this depend on the LCD being upgraded to pull RGB signals from.

Any cheaper alternatives to this Video out board?
this project takes 15khz RGBs signal and converts it to composite and s-video. LCDs already have RGBs, so if you are in a SCART area and just want RGB, your board will already have the signal, it just needs a socket.

About an extra $6 in parts gets your LCD modded game gear a composite video out signal
here's the PCB and design I found and used. It's open source so anyone can make their own. I got boards and parts for 10 boards (minus the RCA/Svid plugs, and using what I assume is clone AD724) for about $40 shipped to me in the states. Figured I'd sell a few extra and keep a few for other game gears or projects.

Here's the BOM, it is indeed not too many parts, but I'm kind of new to this type of stuff so I have very limited experience looking for parts. https://github.com/SukkoPera/OpenVideoModulator/releases/tag/v1
