Onlyfordj Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 A few days ago a Dragon 32 arrived. It works correctly. To enjoy your games, most of the time you need to play them with Joystick. Where could I get some? I know there are adapters to use Atari controllers (or other controllers) but the price, for now, I have found very high. I'm new to the Dragon and I'm lost when it comes to peripherals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengo un kit a la venta... pero puedes convertir la mayoría de los joysticks analógicos para que funcionen en dragon/coco... no es difícil. Okay Dave. I am interested in the one you have for sale and also some web link to try to do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDave Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sure i will check if i have all the parts... do you need the 3d printed case ? There is a cover too. It is made as a very easy to solder kit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green3 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) There were official Dragon-branded joysticks. As Dragon Data shows, the "old style" joysticks came with only diagonal markings and colorful "fans" on the boxes. The later ones came with all 8 directions printed on the joystick casing and game art on the boxes. Ian Hill showed some other Dragon-compatible sticks I'm unfamiliar with. Another joystick meant specifically for the Dragon and sold in Britain was the Altai DR-2B. At the moment it's available for £24.99 on eBay UK, item 133515862878. But the Dragon and Color Computer had the same joystick port, so that you could use CoCo joysticks on the Dragon and vice versa.
