Ricky Spanish Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tried the search function.. wasn't very helpful. Are there any PC based joystick to ATARI adaptor out there ? Seen plenty of the other way around versions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) This might be something to look at: I highly recommend the Snack adapter to connect a Snes control pad to an A8. Edited September 8, 2022 by Beeblebrox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I should clarify my query.. Commercially available adaptors for PC joystick to ATARI. If not, can I use 2600 joys/paddles like what's found on Amazon ?

ZuluGula Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Do you mean 15 pin Game Port or USB PC joystick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any PC based joystick to ATARI adaptor out there ? Seen plenty of the other way around versions. Thanks. I bought a mouSTer mainly to connect a USB mouse to my 800XL. My converted ball mouse was still working but I was concerned the mechanisms can't last forever. Only game I play with a mouse is Missile Command+. Wireless USB mouse works great in that role As it turns out mouSTer works with the one USB joystick I own (an ancient Suncom model, wired). All joystick buttons get mapped to Atari's one fire button. By default some buttons are single shot while others have an auto-fire feature. This feature is part of mouSTer itself. The feature can be enabled or disabled per button. I don't own a collection of USB game controllers (yet) so I cannot do a [edit] review of how well any might work with mouSTer. -SteveS Edited September 9, 2022 by a8isa1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I built a USB Joypad to Atari interface using an Arduino, as I wrote the software I can add any USB joystick type if required. Currently uses Buffalo Joypad and a Saitek Joypad. Even managed to get a USB keyboard to work through joystick port 1 (obviously, no START/SELECT/OPTION/RESET) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I am the opposite. I use real controls with the Bliss Box adapter. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the bump, Ricky. Did you find a solution? Was the solution the Xbox360 controller + MouSTer? -SteveS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
