Dreamcast to Amiga joystick adapter: possible?

Gaula92 · 20 March 2013, 15:08

Hi all

I wanted to know if it's possible to connect, via some pre-made converter, the nice Dreamcast arcade stick I've here to the Amiga (be it A600, A1200 or Minimig).
So, is there a DC to db9 joystick adapter?

thanks!

Preassembled USB version: http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products...pter/index.php

Open source project for a USB dongle with a premade board. http://raphnet.net/electronique/drea...b/index_en.php

It is possible for someone who wants it bad enough to modify the source code and made a dongle. Both Maple Bus (Dreamcast device) and Amiga game ports are just logic level interfaces, so it is firmware only, no additional parts other than connectors required.

It might be also possible for using the USB adapter in the link along with that other USB to game port dongle (somewhere on EAB), but you are paying twice for dongles which might nor might not work together.

Since raphnet-tech also sell other Commodore adapters, may be he would be interested in making such a product?
