You know, I love throwing lawn darts at children just as much as anyone else, but what the hell is all this Missile business? I thought you were joking, but no, they actually make USB Missile Launchers.

So what is this, an office toy to shoot your co-workers/cat with or something?

He is writing people back, he just wrote me. That was going to be my suggestion is a PS2 adapter! Those videos just make me drool. Using a PSX Mouse in place of a Joystick, or using as PS2 Controller in place of a CD32 controller really makes this sound like the must have tech of the year, or close to it! :)

Anyhow, Cammy, I had a feeling you were a cat lady. Black Magic looks like the male counter part to my oldest and very ancient cat Toob, aka Oob, aka Ms. Kitty, aka Hello Kitty, aka Poop. And yes she responds to all those names including the other aliases I've forgotten over time. :)

If you get a Subway USB card for your A1200 you can use USB control pads and joysticks, but only with system-friendly software, so that throws out 95% of games. You can get Playstation 2 to Amiga/CD32 adapters, these are the best thing you could want, but you either have to build it yourself or bug this guy named Paul to make one for you. Here's his YouTube channel, which seems like the only place to contact him. Unfortunately my messages haven't been getting through to him for a while so I dunno if YouTube is playing up or if he blocked me.

LoadWB and Cammy on the USB adapter for the 1200.

At least till WHDLoad has a work around.
