Project to use Monster Joysticks with Atari 7800

[smesgr]

Hi there,

 

because i like my Retro Monster Joysticks (https://monsterjoysticks.com/retro-gaming-joysticks/8-16bit-retro-joysticks) but unfortunately the provided kit does not support both buttons for the Atari 7800. I did design a little replacement PCB for the joystick kit which works fine for my PAL and NTSC 7800. Maybe somebody would like to test this:

I'm not associated with the company, so they may have changed the design. But according to the online build instructions for BASIC and Deluxe kit the replacement PCB should still work.

 

PS. I have three unsoldered prototyps PCBs still laying around - I'm willing to give away if shipment is payed inside EU. The only difference to the now published 1.0-release: - missing project page markings and small fix in the drills for the holes, which make them a little fiddly to push on the acryl screws of the joystick.
