Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the page to come up but thanks for trying. I did find this in a search however: http://random64.emuhq.com/doc1/Joy2600-PC_eng.shtml It's a little closer to what I originally planned. The site also alluded to input delays when using a parallel interface. Still it would be nice to fit everything into the base of the stick not to have to use any external components. On the plus side since I have everything but the 9 pin connectors & the cable, it won't cost much. ;) |

Here's another link to the same site. Have no idea why the other link doesn't work, it worked when I posted the previous message. http://www.geocities.com/aldo.vargas/tools/dpad.html As for delay, I've built parallel port adapters based on the circuits above for sega genesis, snes and psx and never experienced any lag... |

Wow, Is it as easy as that? From the looks of the diagram, all you need is one 10k ohm resistor & a couple of DB connectors to make a standard Atari 2600 stick (with one button) to work. This seems to simple. I just scavenged through some of my old PC/electronics junk boxes & found that I've already got the connectors. A quick trip to Radioshack for the resistor & I'm in business. Thanks a bunch! ;D BTW- Have had any bad experinces with any of the adapters Iz? |

Some of them depend on the parallel port being in a specific mode (spp/ecp/epp) so read the directions carefully and make sure the port is set to the required mode in the bios. other than that, no problems whatsoever! The psx one rocks, just a few diodes and the connector. I hacked a psx extension cable so I can connect unmodifed psx controllers. Got a soft dance pad hooked up for the kiddies right now (I have 4 daughters). It's a huge hit! |
