working joypads?

Reynolds · 19 December 2010, 18:14

Hi All,

I've found an advert where three joypads are available for sale. One has an unknown connector, and the other two has (had, as one does not have cable currently) the 9-pin sub D connector. I think these were shipped with some low-cost tv-games. I'm thinking to get them and try if they can be used as 1 button joypads. Your thoughts?

I think Creation joypad is for original NES console. These other two are ultra cheap and not recommended (I have few NES clones). Everything rattling, missing screws, bad smell. You can buy that kind of joypads in my city for half EUR.

Yeah, the price for these three is around 1 EUR. I had an idea to get some if it can be used as a replacement when the good old QS joys becomes unreliable.

It should work as replacement - they are responsive but I'm not sure if they will work with Amiga. Some joypads for NES clones will not work with other clones even with same connector, I don't know why.

Open up, buzz with multimeter.

Then you'll know if they are compatible.
