<br>As far as I know, the older pc soundcards had a joystick/midi/user port that is very similar to the BBC micro analog port. The connector is the same D connector, but the pins are wired differently. Would just need to build an adapter to re-route the pins, and should work ok as far as the hardware is concerned. Should work as a standard pc analog joystick, which should be recognised in the emulator.

Hi -<br>
<br>
Is there any 'magic box' that would allow me to use my trusty old voltmace joystick with a BBC emulator on a PC, or are the technologies too far apart?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Julian.<br></div>
