|  Re: Joysticks & Joypads questions.
My question feeds into the subject from the other side:
I'm quite happy with my Comp pro stick (C64 plug with C16/116/Plus4 round adaptor).
I take serious, however, MIK's warnings regarding the missing protection of the TED chip. If something goes wrong (faulty wire / short circuit inside the youstick or else), the TED may be blown.
For that reason, I prefer to play games rather in an emu than engaging the poor plussy too hard.
Does anybody here have an idea how to build an adaptor for a Plus/4 - C64 joystick to be connected to the PC?
I have a PC with the more or less obsolete gameport which is a 15-pin D-sub female socket (gold colour). The machine also is equipped with an LPT parallel port (25-pin D-sub female, amber colour) as well. The PC is some 8 years old.
I'm aware of some C64-Joystick to PC USB connector solution but this seems to be out of my budget and way too complicated.
Mrs. Google didn't find anything for me so far.
Regards,
Hans.
