Amiga/c64 joystick to usb adapter?
« on: April 08, 2014, 01:39:40 PM »
Is there anything like this available to purchase? I have seen several websites that have diagrams for building adapters, but that is nothing that i would be able to handle.

Which joystick are you looking for? Are you looking for converting one of you Amiga ones to a USB or looking to take a USB one you found and convert it over to Amiga use?

I have one of these and it works very well with a Wico stick on my Mac and MorphOS. I think it just converts the signals to standard HID.

From Amiga to USB/pc.. its just not the same playing with keyboard when emulating games :P

Seems like the 'Retro-Link Atari - Controller to PC USB Adapter - Dual Port' should do the trick :) thank you!

The retronic is nice, but for the price you can get 4 of the ones I have and never worry about not having a working one. I have yet to have an issue with mine.
