Joystick identification

There may be a two-button Epyx digital joystick.  

I have a two-button Epyx ANALOG joystick.  Exact same size, shape, colors and decal stripes as the XJ500, but with two digital click buttons and an Amiga analog stick where the digital click-stick is normally.  Plus it has a recalibrate button just below the analog stick.  

It was killer for Fighter Duel Pro.  :-)

Do you have the model number?

Also, how do you attach an analog joystick to an amiga?

Ya know, I was wondering that, myself.  I don't remember it having any model number on it at all.  I should dig it out and get a few shots of it for the gallery here.  (I should do that for a lot of my hardware, really...  but that's another story.)  

Anyhow, it just plugged into the joyport like any other Amiga/Commodore/Atari stick.  It would only work with games you could specify ANALOG for, though.   The only game I remember supporting it without hacking around was Fighter Duel Pro.  But, if you wanted to start modding a few files, there was a 3rd party patch to shut off the steering assist and use analog control on Microprose F1GP, though.  Talk about a massive improvement!  That made it a whole new game!

A bit of further research (ain't google great) found a Konix Speedking analog with two buttons.

Wow.... Yep, that's exactly like mine.  I don't remember it saying Konix on the back, though.  I DO remember it saying SpeedKing on the top, now that I see it.  :lol:  I also forgot about that switch on the top.  It turns on and off the spring loaded auto-center.
