theaveng Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Just curious... I prefer a joystick for my digital games rather than a pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldunko Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 i'd imagine not without an adaptor of some sort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 the easiest way is the amiga 4 player adaptor. gives you two atari ports from your pc parrallel port. there is software to use it out there somewhere... and if u search google youll find a site that sells the amiga 4 player adaptor pretty inexpensively. i bought another one, so i would have to take the one off my amiga just to use it on my pc :-) now all we need is z26 to support real trackballs, paddles, jsticks, keypads, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Just a follow up, got my amiga 4 player interface from that company in the link I posted, it came in a timely fashion. So I can honestly reccomend them for that part. Which is great, since that's the only hardware you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 hmmm, wonder how hard it would be to write a linux joystick driver for the amiga 4 player interface.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I just hacked a USB pad and put a 9-pin male connector at the end (and connected the appropriate wires) and viola! a USB Atari Joystick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Which of these solutions support paddles also? The Amiga 4-player adapter looks like it only supports digital signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tifany Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I just hacked a USB pad and put a 9-pin male connector at the end (and connected the appropriate wires) and viola! a USB Atari Joystick! ???? Can you do that??? Umm... tell me more! Which wires go where? I gota try that! lol Tif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 What I did was solder the four directions of the pad (it was a Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad) to wires connected to the correct pins on the DB-9 Male connector (I don't have the exact pinout here at the moment.) Not hard at all. A few extra buttons, though (like 5!) I mounted two on top of the small box that housed the connector (Select and Reset, anyone?) If you guys are serious I'll open it up and break out the camera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tifany Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Id love to see a pic of that! Creativity is a wonderful thang! i know id appreciate you taking the time to photo that so we can all build our own usb atari joystick! thanx for the great idea!
