Wanted to say thank you for all of the help. It looks like the x-arcade + gamecube adapter is a great option. Sucks that it isn't a "true" setup like the Edladdin looks to be (proper spacing/sticks/buttons) but from what I can tell, I'd need an atari console for an Edladdin (which I know probably isn't super expensive, but I'm afraid it wouldn't get the love it really deserves by only playing robotron on it every now and again). It's been super helpful to hear about the different options, so thank you all again.

Let me preface this by saying that this is my first time on AtariAge and frankly, I'm a kid who has no idea what he's doing- But that's why I'm here! Also apologies if this isn't the right place for this post. Let me know if I should repost in another place. It's my Dad's birthday soon and he's always dreamed of being able to play Robotron 2084 with arcade joysticks again. I'm trying to find the easiest and cheapest way to get him that experience again. I have Midway Arcade Treasures on Gamecube, but the Gamecube controller joysticks don't do the trick for him. I also am in no position to spend thousands of dollars on a cabinet or buy parts and learn to make one. I wish there were a console/emulator(?) I could buy that I could connect via HDMI into a TV, and a dual joystick setup that I could plug into it. What's the easiest way to play Robotron 2084 with classic arcade joysticks? Thank you all in advance. Apologies again for my ignorance of any of this. I've tried doing some research on my own, but it's been more complicated than I expected.
