StickJock Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 You ordered from AliExpress on April 26 and you already have it? Wow! That's only 2.5 weeks. It usually takes 6-8 weeks for me to get stuff. I'm still waiting on orders from March 9th, April 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 27th and May 7th. Two of my orders have tracking numbers, but have not been picked up yet.

Mclaneinc Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yes, Nir 6 pin 1.25 spacing.. Try and get right angled plug pins (many people call them the other bit a plug but its actually not) Old rule, plugs have pins, sockets have holes..

While I tend to agree with this rule (plugs are male, sockets are female), I'll bet nobody ever called the connector on the end of an Atari joystick cable a "socket". ? Likewise for SIO cables.... ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
