Atariman Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Lets say I have an analog joystick with 5k potentiometers and I want to use it on the 5200... I realize that the resistance of the pot affects the timing in POKEY, but would it be possible to add a capacitor in conjunction with the potentiometer to give POKEY the correct timing? If so, how would I implement it (or, with what values would you recommend?) It just seems like the same timing could be achieved by simply modifing the capacitor values to account for the new resistor values... it should be possible, right?

+Mitch Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Check out the info about building an adapter for a PC joystick in the 5200 FAQ, it should answer your questions. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Unless I missed something, it sort of answers my question. I'm unsure as to what resistance a PC joystick has (or does this not affect anything?) I can always wire it up with .22uF caps and see, I guess, but...

+Mitch Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Sorry, for some reason I thought that was included in there. PC joystick is 100K ohms, 5200 joystick is 500K ohms. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like perhaps some calculations may still be in order. At least the FAQ gives me a place to start from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
