32Bit Acorns are great machines - sadly most of them lack a joypad interface. Oops!
I've been a-doing a bit of tinkering and have made these:
Yep. SNES Game pads that plug into the parallel port of any Arc
-I've made two dual-pad sets, both tested and working 100%
-Both for sale, first and second to ask will get
-£8.00 + P&P each set!
-If there's enough interest I'll make more
-Single pad versions not a problem
-Driver Software
-I'm intending to produce other Arc' goodies as the mood takes me
Please note:
I have an amazingly busy job so please be patient - postage could be slow
Important Points:
*I've found a source (in China) of new SNES pads. The above work fine but frankly the quality isn't amazing. If anyone can point me in the direction of some really good (new) SNES pads I'll use those in future.
**Though mildly modded by me, I didn't write the original driver software. So that's not part of the sale, see download above.
If you'd rather make your own Arc-SNES pads see my guide on The Qube RiscOS Server.
Tested on A3000, A5000, and RiscPC:
-Guaranteed to work on any 'Classic Arc'
-Seems to work with any any OS version up to 6.20
-Sadly not StrongARM compatible and so far I've not been able to fix this. I'm no programming whiz...
