Adding an Atari Joystick Port to TheC64 USB Joystick
1 min read
Summary
TheC64 is a popular reinterpretation of the best-selling home computer of all time, the Commodore 64, but its included joysticks are less than genuine retro accessories, using USB to connect to the hardware.
Maker [10p6] has come up with a mod that adds a 9-pin Atari joystick connector to the unit, enabling users to plug in real C64-compatible joysticks.
The mod involves fitting a 3D-printed base that includes the additional connector, and while it could have been achieved by dissecting the official joystick, the amended unit gives a much neater result.
This is not the first modification hack from [10p6], who has previously reimagined the C64 Mini as a C64C, the latter being an early model of the original Commodore system.
