Re: [oldsynth] Joystick vendor?

2003-02-28 by mariano

Greetings;


   Allow me to suggest this, I have not tried yet but
have been inspecting these things very closely and I
suspect they have good potential. Try to locate a
discarded/used or perhaps a new game controller for
the sony psone or a derivative (read clone) unit thas
claims to have "ANALOG" function on it.  Some other
desktop game units do have similar assemblies on their
controllers ** but ** some also have a set of four
switches around the they're called "digital"
joysticks- avoid those.

  I built mine from an old computer joystick that was
indeed a true potentiometer based joystick. So there's
another source of joystick assemblies...

 Hope that helps.

   < hoping  my son kills its psone controller soon so
I can justify buying a new one & keep the broken one
myself :) >
