Oh, and most of all, somewhere to plug a power supply in so I wouldn't have to keep running it on AA batteries.

WalMart sells an AC adapter for use with the Jaxx Pacific (or TV Games) joysticks, and this works well with the DTV.

I can't find it on the website, but it's simply a unit shaped like the battery compartment with contacts which make contact with the battery springs on the compartment.  This unit connects to a AC adapter.  It sells for about $10.

Im new to all this C64 DTV..where can I get one??

Based on the info on the Petscii Forum, some stores like Radio Shack may still  have a few left for about $15 ~ $20 in the US.  I'm in the UK and some discount stores still sell them for about £5 ~ £10.

I've got about 6 of these for sale in the UK - 10 GBP including postage. Obviously oversees will be + postage!

If anyone fancies any, drop me a PM. (already replied to yours KidKoala) :-)

Cheers,

Just thought I'd let you guys know especially those in the 2o to 40 age group about a new web site that looks at the Amiga, C64, Atari 2600, Xbox Live arcade and arcade machines.

There is a for sale and wanted to buy section too.

Check out www.retrogameplay.com

The for sale and wanted to buy is free, for those that want to post their Amiga stuff for sale.

I thought I'd just let you guys know.

May the Amiga live on forever!

...a new generation of the Commodore 64 joystick, which adds game download functionality...

That could mean that they're thinking about some kind of online pay site with old games on it. Would be cool and they could do the leg work finding the copyright owners, which is probably well worth paying some small fee.
