Does a joystick Y cable split the outputs like my idea does, or does it simply provide two inputs for the gameport. In other words, does a Y cable connect Pin 1 Connector 1 and Pin 1 Connector 2 to Pin 1 Gameport, or does it route the Connector 2 Device to the Gameport 2nd joystick inputs, in which case you really wouldn't need my device?
