Hey Guys! This is it.

I just received the first batch of USB Joystick adapters, PCB version 3.0.
This new version is supporting virtually any DB9 joystick ever made!
Just use the flash utility to reprogram as desired.

Here is the compatibility list:

  • MSX Joystick
  • Atari 2600 Joystick
  • Atari 7800 Joystick (2 buttons)
  • Atari analog Paddle (2 controllers)
  • Atari video touch pad Keyboard
  • Amstrad Joystick
  • Amiga Joystick (up to 3 buttons)
  • Amiga Mouse (up to 3 buttons)
  • Commodore 64 Joystick
  • Commodore CD32 Joypad (7 buttons)
  • Coleco Vision Controller
  • Intellivision Touch pad (16 buttons)
  • Sega Genesis Joypad (3 and 6 buttons)
  • Sega Master System Joypad (2 buttons)

This new hardware version was designed with compatibility in mind. Every pin is reconfigurable so new firmware can be built to support much more devices.
Design will stay open source so anybody out there can contribute to this quest for retro gaming pleasure!

You can order them directly on the web site at www.retronicdesign.com or by sending me a PM request here.

Cheers! :)

Nice, but what we need is the other way. Use new joysticks on our MSXs. Big smile

Hum... Not an easy one. I already worked on a proto but it was crappy. USB hosting is not very friendly, expressly with numerous type of joysticks using weird firmware/drivers... This is why I converted to emulation.
