[Does Atari Joystick to PC / USB to DB9 work?]

No, this will not work, as the 2600 is not using a serial protocol to communicate with controllers. There are adapters that will allow you to plug 2600 controllers into a computer via USB, and those are specially made for that purpose.

That's what I needed to hear. Thanks

Hello there :)

Would a DB9 to usb cable make it possible to use the atari joystick to play emulators on pc?

Will it register input?

 

USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9

I asked the support teams of this cable from Amazon. They told me they don't know but I should try comparing/matching the pin assignment. Unfortunately I have no clue.

 

Does anyone have experience or have the tools to try?
