46 Hours to go and counting. Its nearly there, the best modern built (and old IMO) Retro Joystick that out of the box works on ZX Spectrum (via Kempston), Amiga, Classic Atari Computers and Consoles, Amstrad CPC, C64, Sega Master System and far more with an adaptor including MSX. Fully featured with button for up toggle and autofire toggle. Solid metal casing and excellent parts inside from Sanwa and the like.

Check the video and maybe you will fancy it.

Not affiliated with it just want it to finish as I truly think its the best out there by miles.

@RetroHitch I plugged my old joysticks into any machine and they always worked fine. Suddenly now some need adaptors, I don’t get it lol

@magicknight different pin layouts for atari and msx etc. Many people plugged Megadrive pads in Amigas too and just got lucky they didnt add voltage to the mainboard.

Atari pin layout is the main one so fits most.

@RetroHitch I didn’t plug megadrive pads in other systems so dodged that bullet.

@magicknight Good! I know some people did and were fine but that gamble was never worth it! Always hard when a board blows.
