Atari Joystick Adapter for PC :

Grab your old Atari 2600 joystick and plug it into your PC using this easy to build adapter.

I've used Tomi Engdahl's electronic schematics to build the interface, using a simple Eurocard (1 hole).

I provide this circuit lay-out for folks who want to build a such interface without having to be bored with electronic schematics adatation or to make a PCB.

Build and use at your own risk !

Works fine for me with :

- Z26 1.45 DOS
- PCAE 2.5 DOS & Windows Version
- CCS64 DOS & Windows Version
- StellaX 1.1.3a Windows


Note :

I've linked the 2nd button, so this adapter supports 2 buttons Atari-like Joysticks.
