Atari 2600 / 7800 Arcade Joysticks

I have just made this for a customer recently and thought you lot would like it?

Button 2 is wired to UP (for jumping that usually uses UP and diagonal up) - I'm thinking of making this switchable between UP and the 2nd Button for homebrew games that support it.

I can also wire these for the 7800 2 button layout.

Hot damn, I posted these ages ago!

Any hoo - I just modified one a little bit, so I can play some paddle games on my 800XL.

This will work on other Ataris too. 2nd button is wired to UP.

Joystick left is paddle button. Works a treat and the dial doesn't get in the way of the buttons either (even though it may look like it does...)
