Playstation Joypads on the amiga

04 April 2002, 15:49

A few months ago I found a website that explains that you can use a Playstation joypad on the amiga. I now can`t find that website but does anyone know where i can find a website with that info. Thanx

Ok, here is another one in the UK since that's where we're from:

Playstation converter

and here is a completed search for other sites:

Google search in UK

Hope this helps.

Oh, I've just noticed you want an Amiga playstation converter. Never heard of one

A UK company called Blittersoft sells a PSX controller adaptor for the Amiga. Check it out at:

Alternatively, if you feel like making your own, check out this file on Aminet:

OR go to the software author's homepage:

Aminet has a few files on how you can read PSX memory cards on the Amiga too.

What about using PC joysticks and gamepads on amiga? Is there such an adaper as well?

I know some years ago that a few UK companies (Golden Image? Wizard Developments? Datel?) sold adaptors to use PC analog joysticks. You would be lucky to find them in stock at Amiga dealers now. IIRC the only commercial games that had analog joystick support were flight simulators (perhaps Flight Simulator 2 and Jet). Ultimately there are very few Amiga games that make use of PC analog joysticks, and I'm not sure that any support modern PC joypads (or the joysticks if they have changed any).

In any case, there are plenty of DIY hacks on Aminet for building PC joystick adaptors if you're interested (see http://de.aminet.net/aminetbin/find?analog+joystick).
