The Amiga used the same joysticks as the Atari
2600, if I recall correctly, so any of those hacks
would work.
: Hmm, not familiar with amiga joysticks, but the pc game port only allows 4 analog axis inputs and 4 digital button inputs. I suppose with the guts of a gamepad you could convert your digital movements into the analog inputs expected...
: Otherwise you would have to hook the joystick up to the 4 button inputs, but then you would have a joystick with no buttons. :(

: : I have an old "starcurser" Amiga digital joystick and want to rewire it to a 15 pin pc game port plug, can this be done easily? and if so could somebody point towards some sort of documentation on how to do it.
