[Stoilov]

I read that is possible to use with a pc usb joypad an amiga joystick with a modification of solders.

I ask if anyone could able to connect two joystick using a USB connector?

Thanks

Hi.. firstly welcome :) I know it`s possible to connect a regular joystick to an old usb pad... Iv`ve done it before.. there are adaptors as well.... but I don`t see your going to connect two Amiga joysticks to one usb pad.. not sure if/how it`s going to work to be honest.

Yes, I've got a double PSX joy port USB adapter and if I wanted to - "hacking" it to 2 amiga joy ports would be a piece of cake.
(see some older thread about amiga joy adapters hardware DIY hacking)

Thanks, can you link me the post please?

Best way to use Amiga joystick on a PC? (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=40768)
Enjoy your hacking ;)

Ok ,the article i have already read and tell about one joystick.

The solution that i konw is to use parallel port with two serial ports.

Usb nothing?

Just use two USB joypads & you can adapt two joysticks ;)

Of course you will need two free USB ports, but if you have a newer full-size PeeCee, shouldn't be a problem as most of these have up to six USB ports :)

Ok, it's logic, with one joypad is not possible, i think.

[Shoonay]

Of course you will need two free USB portsNo he doesn't.
Like I said before, I've got a 2 PSX pad to USB adaptor.
You take 2 "normal" PSX pads, hack them together with the Amiga joy, and voila!
You've got 2 Amiga joy's under 1 USB port :)

[Fingerlickin_B]

No he doesn't.
Like I said before, I've got a 2 PSX pad multiplayer to USB adaptor.

I meant if he was just hacking USB joypads :xmas

[Shoonay]

Yes, right.
I'd still go for the normal PSX pad hack ;)

[Stoilov]

oK, I can connect two pads with one USB cable and modify two for two joystick, is it correct?

[Fingerlickin_B]

With 5h00n4y's PSX adaptor idea, you can use two joysticks connected to two hacked PSX pads and connect via adaptor to just one USB port...if that's what you are asking?

It'is ok, but i want control the cost of the total operation.

I find two usb joystick for a total of 15 euro (shipping included)
Psx Joystick for the moment i find over 20 euro total, with the USB to 2 controls adapter + 5 uero.

i have to tihnk better.

[Rabbit80]

It should be possible if the usb pad has enough buttons.... Ie use the a,b,c,d buttons for left/right/up/down (joy2) and use shoulder buttons for fire... or am I missing something?

Honestly, I was thinking a "normal" PSX pad (not a Dual Shock) would cost like 2 euros these days...

---=== EDITED ===---
On 2nd thought, there are no non-DualShock PSX pads no more :(
But found some cheap ones on Allegro for 10PLN (http://allegro.pl/6038_joy_pady.html?order=t&view=gtext), so I'm guessing those in your place should be as cheap as that too (how much Euros is 10PLN's anyways? ;))

[Fingerlickin_B]

Allegro has way cool sh*t & heaps of Amiga stuff that Fingerlickin_B can't read about as he only speaks English, some Finnish & can say some rude words in Spanish!!!!

Seriously 5h00n...I need info...please pop me a PM & we'll discuss without further hijacking of this post...if that's cool with you of course :D

I found it in ebay, from a shop of south Italy or Honk Kong. (3,90 each joypad usb with vibration)
The difference for me, is the time of delivering, in 3 days form south arrive while from Honk Kong 15-20 days.

The price in allegro could be cheaper but there is a expensive delivering if is possible to italy.

10PLN= 2.50 EURO
