Where to buy Joysticks?

[Lord Aga]

Is there still a source where someone can buy Joysticks with ATARI/AMIGA D9 connector?

Not used ones from Ebay but new ones I'm looking for.

Any idea?

Whoa, hallo Gunnar, nice to see you again

Another possibility would be to get a hold of Playstation to DB9 converter, and then you can have truly new joypads. And quality ones too.

But, if you really need native Amiga DB9 joysticks (for testing purposes or something) you can still check Ebay. New (unused)joysticks pop up from time to time, although at a higher price. Also there are (near) mint pieces. So...

Tschüss !

Hi, Playstation Controllers
This does indeed sound interesting..

Where can you buy them?

Cheers

Ja, as som99 said, you can buy them from Kipper2k. He is a terrific guy, and his products are of top Qualität. I have several trinkets that I bought from him

MFG

Swap pin 7 and 5 and put a 470ohm resistor between them, the Amiga gamepad has the +5v on pin 7 and Genesis/Mega drive has it on pin 5.

Why is 470 ohm resistor necessary ?

[Lord Aga]

Im not 100% sure if I remember correctly but the resistor is needed on 6 button controllers (and some autofire ones) with the multiplexer chip is to function correctly and the resistor is for safety, and by doing this you can use more buttons with software that supports it (slim selection of software that supports this).

I dont think you need the +5v at original pin 5 wire at all on 3 button gamepads, but havent fiddled with em for a while so im not 100% sure.

There are much more qualified persons here on A.org who probably can answer this better then me

Hmm, I only have 3-butonners, but I'm going to finish my 5-to-7-cross adapter anyway.
Still, it would be nice if someone could explain a bit more about the 470 ohm resistor.
