If I were you I'd go for one of those Atari 9 pin->USB converter thingies, lets you use your own old trusty joysticks =).

I think the thingies you're referring to is the Stelladaptor by Pixels Past and sold by AtariAge. They were out of stock for the longest time which was a real bummer and they're once again available.

FANTASTIC!!
I've been looking for ages but couldn't see one for sale.
Thanks for directing me to the Stelladaptor!

Shipping to UK works out at around £27 inclusive.
Strangely, I have just found a usb to gameport adaptor on eBay... for less than half the price.

USB to Gameport Adaptor on eBay

Do you think this would be ok, or a chance it could just be a very cheap product and not work well??

IT'S A CON!!!
Although it says £1.21 postage, at the bottom of the eBay ad it says:

"Due to the weight of your item, it is not enough to cover for postage to your address. Please note that the postage you are paying is for mainland UK, postage to your address is £16.73. Item will hold till we receive the postage."

Although the product may work well, I do not like how they have listed it.   :madashell:

However, in the end it works out the same price as Stelladaptor @ £27.... and ships from UK (maybe quicker delivery?)

D'oh!!!!  :idea:

Just noticed the plug on that eBay one is female, and it needs to be male for an Amiga joystick!

Stelladaptor it is then!!
