Classic Amiga joysticks OK on X1000 - RetronicDesign adapter

[zzd10h]

Hello,
just a thread to report that the Retronic USB adapter (to plug old DB9 Amiga joystick) works very well on the X1000.

I have tested it on AmigaOS 4.1.6 (UAE and native games) and on MintPPC.

On the first grab, is somebody knows the name of this old Thomson joystick (in the first plan, cream color and square format) ?

To note than on Linux, I test it with Extreme Tux Racer (it's recognized but doesn't work with SuperTuxKart, but standard USB don't work too with this game).

It works too on MacMini (on another system )

Very pleasant to play some games with old joysticks.

Neat adapter. I wonder if I still have any of my old joysticks?

Thanks for the link

I just brought a 2 pack, first time I've ever used my ebay account, I think I created it like over 10 years ago

hmmm, maybe I'll get my first feedback!

btw, I was about to reply before I headed off to check it out and was going to say, I wonder if it supports the CD32, and what do you know it was introduced relatively recently, good timing I say

I had forgotten the link...sorry

After flashing the Retronic-Adapters you can use a CD32-Joypad too.

Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like the perfect adapter
