Title: Best joystick for dedicated winuae pc?
Post by: haywirepc on October 18, 2009, 08:19:51 AM

I put together a dedicated pc for running amiga os through winuae, removing the windows shell and booting straight to amiga os.
 
Everything is working beautifully except I have no pc joysticks, usb, joystick port or otherwise. I want to buy a good joystick to use for amiga games, is a usb joystick the best solution?

This looks like the best solution I have seen, does anyone have this and how do you like it? How easy is this to get working in winuae?

Also, is anyone using a dedicated emulation pc with a catweasel pci and is it worth the investment? I have 300 amiga floppies sitting in a box I'd like to be able to access. I bought an amiga 500 on ebay, but I'd like to load my old stuff on the emulator machine since it will be faster and better for things like imagine and whatever. The a500 has no hard drive.
 
Thanks for your thoughts...

Steven

personally i use a PS2-copy dual analogue, digital USB joystick and i find I play games better than I did with the original joysticks.  Just feels I can react faster with the analogue thumbsticks than using wrist movements,  But thats just me.
