USB atari compatible joystick adapter

[ulaoulao]

Ah so you finally took that advise

In my set up I use the chip to power the controller not the +5 from the usb, that way I control what pins are what. The 3d0 had yet anther set up for power as I recall and coleaco is set up to reverse polarity.

Are you planning on supporting vecterx, SAC, and Bally? SAC is a lot of fun, especially the dial. Vectrex deepening on the your analogs pins would be possible, and Bally is just an oldie but goodie.

Glad to see your progressing.

Hi Ulaoulao!

Vectrex are a bit too odd for the hardware. I did not planned to have analog on every pins!
For SAC and Bally, do you have the pinout for this? There are so many DB9 joysticks out there with so many different pinouts. I never imagine there was that much! Good thing is that the hardware can support most of them (with some exceptions!)

What about your Blissbox? Any new version coming?

Cheers!

that is why I asked I did the same thing so a patch cable was required. SAC is the same pinout as coleco but just does extra work. Bally I think is a normal atari but makes a few additional reads I'd have to look at my code.

Bliss-box has split up, I could not handle the up keep on making them. So there is a product called Four-Play that will enter production this year. Its sort of a 4 player hub like device that serves as 4 Bliss-Boxes. Instead of mounting the ports on the box it uses cables. Hopping this will free up my time to work on more code. KickStarter to launch this month.

Nice!

Looks like bally just needs to read a button for up direction, other then that it fits the atari pinout. Maybe they did that for some type of atari detection I don't know. Its weird though.

Humm... I might take a look into this.
I just finished implementing ColecoVision Super Action Controller; http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/col...now-supported/
Phew! What a controller it is! Using Grey code to read 3x4keyboard. There is also a quadrature for reading a spinner on the front. That was fun!

[ulaoulao]

yup, I knew you'd enjoy that one.

I've added some more items in the compatibility list:
◾TI99/4/4a Joystick
◾FM Towns/Marty Joypad
◾Odyssey2 controller
◾Fairchild channel F controller

I also built a new firmware for the Atari / Commodore paddles that is more precise in analog reading.
