| Old Commodore joystick and Atari paddles... |
| (1/4) > >> |
| Sinner:
Hi, I was digging around in my old closet at my parent's house and I found the following: An old Wico joystick, it's like the one below (middle one), but with a balltop and chrome shaft (top and base fire buttons)... I also have an old set of Atari 2600 paddles... I still have a Commodore 64 and a Commodore 128 in the closet too. I'm sure if I dig around I can find more Commie stuff, but I doubt I would ever use them... Does anyone know if there is a use for these? Maybe in a MAME cabinet... |

you could integrate the paddles by using a stelladaptor. the joysticks could be attatched via a db9 connector wired to your encocder. if mounted properly i would be nice addition. if you wire the db9 correctly, you could also attatch modded nes and/or genesis controllers as i've done, here. the paddles and stelladaptor can only be used with z26 as far as i know, but the joys will work as regular 8 ways on just about any emulator. |

If that stick you've got is a ball-top, somebody you can do this: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,20914.0.html Or, if you don't want to, sell/trade it to me! |

Unfortunatly the paddles do not act as spinners (they can't be turned more then, I'm guessing, 270 degrees or so). |

The paddles act as PADDLES. Lots of games use those. Super Breakout, Warlords, Avalanche, Clowns, 270 driving games, Bomb Bee, etc. |
