Finally ... after 3 years. Had some time to work in my Retropie. Thanks a lot by your disk image and explanations. Thanks to that, all my job was related only to roms, images and a lot of 3D work to recreate joysticks that use cheap push button and micro switches. Let me see how long it will last playing Decathlon with this 8mm steel rod inside. Blue Joystick is the version 1.0, purple 2.0 and black 3.0. All 3 functional (just space, angle and cable management) Green cartridge is just for fun

Cool, Can you please add the shutdown button functionality on the script ? I will wire up the 3/4 switch to send the shutdown the command. As this is not a visible or used button anymore I can reuse it for that Thanks

I will use the Pi Zero 1.3 ... Only the case will be different since I want to use 2 players DB-9 and dificult switch out of the box .. no need to drill extra holes and fit inside a small space So I can reuse all actual commands from Atari clone to wire up to GPIO and no 2600-daptor needed .. I want to keep that simple (and cheap). Still thinking if will use the channel 3-4 selector for on/off or maybe a fake cartridge to do that

Even better .. downloaded the app to restore ... thanks for the tip. I will use original Atari joystick and as said before an Atari clone, so I can reuse all switches (difficult, power on/off that will act as reset, select and start). So based on your pdf I presume that raspberry works on pull-up resistors idea. The joystick actions will be wired to the GPIO ports and the return will be grounded. Same for switches ... all connected to GPIO ports and the return wire grounded. Right?

Amazing. I was planning to do something similar into the Jakks 10 in one. But even before destroy, drill, wire up something, I decided to search about it. Your PDF about how to do it is perfect. Already bought an old Atari 2660 clone in Brazil (yeah .. due some restrictions at the Atari time we had tons of cheap clones .. not that cheap), and an raspberry zero to adapt inside. Downloading your Ultimate Joystick image. So when everything arrives will be a quick job to put all together. Quick question ... that Ultimate Atari Joystick is ready to go ? Just unpack, save on a SD and use it? Already configured all scripts and butons based on your PDF? Of course adding some extra roms and box art. Once again .. bravo. Excellent job.
