Convert PC gamepad to C64 joystick

  • Follow


Is it possible to convert an old PC gamepad (for connector on 
sound-card) into a C64 joystick. Preferably one should only need to make 
a converter using two D-sub connectors.

You can use a comparator to convert the voltages to digital signals
(http://www.64hdd.com/projects/c64-proj3.html), or you can use a smart
chip running code as with 64JPX (orange) http://www.64hdd.com/64jpx/64jpx.h=
tml.

I see that you cannot just use a plug-converter, but I will probably 
build one of these.
