jrhodes Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Is there a TI to C64 joystick adapter? I would love to be able to take my pain-sticks over to a die hard C64 fan and plug them in.

JB Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Use the existing Atari-TI adapters with a couple gender-benders to reverse the plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Use the existing Atari-TI adapters with a couple gender-benders to reverse the plugs? wouldn't work. the TI ones have diodes that would block the signals in reverse..

Opry99er Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Are the diodes in the stick or in the plug? Could one simply hack off the end of one of the pain sticks and wire it up standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Actually for $25 + shipping I will build you a reverse TI adapter .. I'll just replace the diodes with wire.. and swap the gender of the connectors you might need some short cables to make it fit the c64 tho is torturing your friend worth that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ducking & running) Na, i don't do christmas. Besides, if i was going to give someone a copy zero zap, it would be on cassette along with the cassload utility to load it.

zylon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I had the pain sticks but rarely used them. Some little tiny things called Power Sticks worked great though, at least for this redhead.
