I have literally 100s of joysticks. All piled in boxes for years. I have no idea which work and which don't. You can connect to a C64, load a program and test 1 by 1. Hot swapping maybe a no-no and the joystick port is fragile too. I was hoping you can buy something, but I've not found anything so far. I guess due to the portable nature, ideal for in your pocket when you are down at the car boot sale or thrift store.
I've knocked up a few prototypes, and the ones that didn't land in the bin I will offer here. You can make yourself:
Ingredients
Buscuit board
D 9 pin connector (I've used recycled C64 joystick ports)
5 LEDs
1 1k ohm resistor
Bits of wire
A 9v block battery connector (not included from me)
Solder them all up and connect battery & joystick and test away.
Alternatively, take one of these:
1) All Red
2) Red & Green for button
3) Green & red for button
Payment
20 euros as PayPal family'n'friends including postage as a letter anywhere in the world (no insurance, no tracking & own risk - add 2.50 euros to get registered mail)
Interested
Reply here and please send me a PM with your postal address and which one (1, 2 or 3) your would like.
