Title: CD32 joypad adapter
Post by: Matt_H on July 26, 2020, 06:59:43 PM

There are a lot of peripherals on the market now to allow use of USB mice and joypads on the Amiga's standard 9-pin port. I'm looking specifically for one that will recognize a joypad as a full CD32 controller, i.e., recognizing 7 buttons (red, blue, green, yellow, rev, fwd, and play/pause) instead of just 2. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

There were at least various PSXtoAmiga DIY kits available a few years ago, thus not exactly USB but quite usable, IIRC.

@ TribbleSmasher

Beyond my capabilities to assemble, unfortunately. I need a commercial solution. But thanks for the suggestion!

It looks like the leading contenders are the Rys MkII and the TOM2. Does anyone have any experience with these for CD32 use?
