Duel Stelladaptors! (to use Atari 2600 controllers on my cab)
blind_dado:
I incorporated these two Stelladaptors into the front of my cab, under the keyboard tray. Now two people can play classic Atari games with the original controllers. Head-to-head Warlords with the paddles is awesome! And playing Adventure with an Atari joystick really evokes some strong memories.
Limited supply of Stelladaptors still available:

Nice! I was thinking about doing something along these lines but the adapters are a little on the expensive side, so when you have to get 2, and you don't have the joysticks and paddles yet either, I just haven't been able to justify it. Not so much a big deal for the joysticks, but I really wish I could use authentic paddles for games like circus.
Anybody have 2 stelladapters they want to sell cheap? ;D
ahofle:
Very cool.
Just curious, what 2600 emulator do you use for paddle support?

As an alternative, there is a DIY kit for $17 that requires some soldering available here:

Unfortunetly, it only works for Joysticks and does not recognize paddles. Plus you have to buy a DB9 solder pot and a project box to put it in. Might as well just get the Stelladapter!

I use Stella. (Hence, the "Stelladaptor.") It works like a charm. It think MESS works pretty well too.
