Questions & Answers

Do you think this would work on a Mac Mini with a Mame emulator?

Yes, I understand. The purpose for which I use it is that. I like how it works.

Could there be some kind of trick to get this to work on Windows 10 via USB?

We don't have anything exciting planned. As far as installation is concerned, it's a plug-and-play system. However, you may need to add some settings to your software if you are trying to use it with something else. From the settings menu or the search bar, you should be able to choose "Set up USB Game Controllers" to test it, and you should see "THEC64 Joystick" listed there

How can you connect a miniHD to an adapter for use with it?

I would give it a B+, although it is a little stiff.

Selected User Reviews For Retro Games The C64 Joystick

Sticks like this do not have a lot of strength
3/5

Playing regular to heavy games on this stick isn't viable. A few weeks ago, I configured my retro-gaming system on the RetroPie. In the middle of the game, the stick snapped. There is no abuse of my computer systems on my part. By the picture you can see that the metal holding the stick is tiny, which means that most of the stick is made up of brittle plastic with no central support. All retro sticks are rated fair to poor in my opinion, which is a real shame. Make a halfway decent joystick that looks like it is from the 80s. If you charge me an additional two dollars, I would be willing to pay it The stability of the game and the enjoyment of playing it are worth the five dollars.

This isn't a sturdy material
3/5

I had to stop playing the game because this broke. It would be very helpful if there was a longer screw/rod so the screws don't snap off after a while. It is common to encounter this You can see it on Google!.

I find the stick to be a little The joystick is kind of weak and I broke it, so it's retro and fun
3/5

In an online video, I found a way to repair/strengthen it with a bolt and I did the task myself, but not everyone is so skilled as I am.

Having a budget stick is important
4/5

This may not be the right experience for you if you are looking for a competitive pro experience. In its place are rubber membranes instead of tactile and leaf switches, which make it feel entirely different and may throw you off if you are expecting A metal weight can be found in the bottom of the box, making it feel heavier than it However, its price is half of what one of the new speedlink sticks would cost, and it feels better than any Amiga gamepad you would ever own.

A bit difficult to get working on Raspberry Pi running As you can see from the first screenshot, this was extremely difficult to get working on Raspberry Pi Combian, because it's a special C64 emulator
3/5

I couldn't save the settings, so I had to do it again I found it complicated to play games without a configuration. In my experience, I get better results when I don't use this and simply use a regular PlayStation 3 to run Raspberry Pi with Combian and/or RetroPie instead A game pad in the style of the Nintendo DS. Do you have the documentation on how to use the program that you can publish?.

The Joystick comes with TheC64
4/5

It is much quieter than the Joystick that comes with it. My favorite thing about it was that it is quieter than the joystick that comes with the C64. There's something I don't like about the joystick -- it feels lousy If I could get a USB version of the Atari 2600 controller for use with the C64, or perhaps a custom gamepad similar to the NES controller, I would love it.

The mouse cannot be used as an accessibility aid, so it is not suitable for this purpose

I highly recommend this controller for the mini C64 as it is fantastic value
5/5

I tested it with my mini C64 and it works well. My USB splitters allow me to hook up a USB keyboard, 2 of these controllers, a USB flash drive with games on one mini C64 and a USB splitter. I have so many memories associated with that song.
