PC Competition Pro for GamePort !
Hey all !
I tought that the new USB version of the Competition Pro is the first one for the PC's... but it seems I was wrong. I just got a GamePort version on a fleamarket !!! It is very nice - Blue transparent glass (a bit more quality than normal CP transparent cases) with Yellow buttons ! It has 2 standard buttons (corresponding to Fire 1 / Fire 2 on the PC) and 2 additional as in CP Turbo or CP USB, but they have a different function - Autofire for Button 1 and 2 ! There is also a permanent autofire option with a yellow switch on the back which has 3 positions - Autofire 1 , Off , Autofire 2 ![]() Inside there is a little circuit that is visible just under the top glass and it has "PC-Stick" written on it. Works like a charm on my XP and Win98 Gameports. If I knew this existed all those years back I would of bought it 100% ![]() Oh and the feeling is BETTER than the USB stick since ALL the buttons/mechanics are the same as with normal Competition Pro Turbo ! (i.e. it has a spring on the stick - no rubber and the main buttons have a much better feel to it than the USB variant). If you want I can take some pictures this weekend... Best regards, Tomaz |

Wow, 50 Euros, eh ? I knew that 1 Euro was a bargain, but not such a bargain... not that I would sell it though.

Ok, here are some pictures (taken with a Clie palm camera, so the quality is not the greatest ;-) ). If you look really close in the second picture you can even see who took them :-)
Really nice joystick. Mechanically MUCH better than the new USB version... ![]() |

![]() The Competition pro minis and comp PC minis were sold in solid boxes. Which you could use as diskboxes. And the Comp PC minis were 1994 expensive.69,00 DM /35 €. Last edited by NOB; 27 November 2007 at 08:50. |

I bought 2 USB versions off ebay for 24 quid brand new the pair... both my brother and I proceeded to beat the crap out them on SENSI 2006 off the PC.. some major retro fun..
I then hooked up Alien Breed and other than winuae overscan issue, it was like the orginal!!! it was a touching moment... then the real test Street Fighter 2! .... sheesh... there was more.... many more.... but after 5am it was time to call it.... |

The USB versions are on sale currently here... I payed around 4 EURos for each
![]() I am not really a fan of the new USB ones though since the buttons stick too much and the feeling is just not the same.... Also for some reason it seems there is a lag with WinUAE when playing games, its just a fraction of a second but I cannot play SuperFrog or Pinball Fantasies (with keyboard) on WinUAE. Can play it perfectly on the Real thing though. |
