Gameport to db9 adapter
So, I need an adapter that makes gameport pc joysticks work with miggy. I've seen this:
http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/PCGamepad2Ami but I've no real idea how to build it, I really suck at that. So, anybody knows of a premade adapter for this purpose? Or someone who could build it for me? Thx!

Hi, I actually made this converter couple of years ago. Initially I thought about assembling it using a perfboard (you know, the universal one with bunch of holes) but I ended up designing a custom PCB. If my memory serves me well I should have a spare one somewhere...

All right, so there's the PCB layout. Just don't say anything about it please
It was one of my first eagle layouts and it sucks, but it works just fine. You have to put three bridges, see the original schematic from Aminet to find out which point goes where. If you still need some help, just let me know. I'll disassemble my converter and do some photos. I didn't include potentiometers in my design because I'm using a joystick with built in pots to calibrate X and Y axes. I only put 82k resistors instead (i think...). I used BC547 transistors cause I had a bunch of them back then, but actually any small signal NPN should do the job. Last edited by zgba; 14 July 2013 at 20:35. Reason: Attachment missing |

@zgba
Thx for the schematics man! I was actually hoping that you had built a spare one you could sell. But I'll see if I can find someone experienced with these stuff to build it for me, many many thx! |

As I said I have a spare unpopulated board. If you REALLY won't be able to find anyone willing to help you with that, PM me and we'll see. Cheers
