usb to db9 adaptor
Im looking at using my Amiga db9 digital joystick on my pc with winuae. Is this possible with the many cheap usb to db9 serial adaptors sold on eBay?
For example would something like this work? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...095957&alt=web Last edited by ransom1122; 19 August 2015 at 02:08. |

No, these are serial to USB adapters, Amiga joystick is not serial, it just uses same DB9 connector.
For joysticks you need something like this http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/ If you know how to, there are schematics on the net to make one yourself. |

Yeah I thought that might be the answer. $30 U.S for that adaptor.. Thanks for the info, Is there any other way of buying one cheaper or are these guys the only ones selling them. I wasn't planning on spending that sort of money for an adaptor.
What's the verdict on these adaptors, is the amiga joystick just as accurate on winuae then it is on a real amiga? Last edited by ransom1122; 19 August 2015 at 09:06. |
