USB adapter for Amiga joystick

[Freshmaker]

As for USB-adapter for Amiga joystick; would

THIS work?


OrTHIS?

[alkis21]

Neither. This is what you need.

[Freshmaker]

Ah. Thanks. A tad expensive though; I was thinking about getting me 4 such adapters. Not happening for that price... What would be the search-string for eBeay? I didn't find anything...

This trinket is unique, that's why it's expensive. I am unaware of anything else that lets you plug an Amiga joystick into a USB port. Panayotis bought it and it works perfectly. The Sensible Soccer boys are selling Amiga joystick adapters but you need a parallel port for them, just mentioning it in case you have an old PC lying around.

What Alkis said.

If I had the time, I'd get into producing these things myself. There's a definite gap in the market.

Still, for now, grab one of these's beauties for 19 dolla. It love you long time.

[Freshmaker]

Hehe. Ok. I'll get 2 I guess.

Hold it! AmigaKit.com just brought some new adapters:

how is £ 15 compared to $ 21?

[Steve Camber]

21 U.S. dollars = nearly £13

€18 on that site too, and $20

I guess it's down to postage.. $14 from retroUSB USA, or £2 from amigakit.co.uk.

A clear winner surely!!

Great find Alkis!

I'm probably going to a buy a load

Nice clarification Steve.

Oh, and what Steve said; Great find Alkis
