For Sale: Assembled Retro-Donald USB Joystick Adapters

SkydivinGirl · Post by **SkydivinGirl** » Wed Sep 15, 2010 8:03 am

Hey everyone,

I recently ordered a batch of the Retro-Donald USB Joystick Adapters. A friend wanted a couple and I was looking for a soldering project so I decided to order extras to assemble and sell to the community. I'm only making a few dollars off each adapter.

I've assembled and tested all the adapters and they work flawlessly.

What does it do? Well, it's basically a USB adapter that allows you to use your 9-pin classic game controllers (Atari, Sega Genesis, etc) on your computer. It gives you two controller ports with two button support on each port. These devices work perfectly with the VICE and Amiga emulators and I'm sure they work in every other emulator as well. Use your favorite C64 controller in your emulators.

I have 8 of these available.

$25 With Free Shipping in the USA. International buyers pay actual shipping cost.

Thanks,

Heather

This joystick adapters are very good, I love mine!

Bevore I used a USB competition pro, a comercial product. But I realized it works too slow in some VICE and MAME games.

With this adapter you can use your usual VIC-20 joystick for your PC also and it really rocks ...

Thanks Diddl!

I really liked these adapters. I've been somewhat surprised that I haven't had anyone contact me yet since I put them on AmiBay and Lemon64 as well.

Take care,

Heather

Received mine last night, tested it using Linux jstest utility. Works like a champ, thanks. A WICO trackball works like a joystick on it. I have not tried paddles, although I suspect it won't pass Pot X / Pot Y as variable values, even though the HID returns +/- 32767 in each register.

This little unit is going to get integrated in a home-made console (someday) for good ol' 8-bit computer and console game playing using real joysticks . Woot!
