![]() On this, it can be seen, that these games are normally written for using a joystick. I use modern controllers (like DS3/DS4) on emulators because imo analog sticks are infinitely better than d-pads or joysticks for most games.īut you can see in the fact that "jumping" in nearly all C64 Jump and Run games, is on "steer up" and not on a button, that they was not made for gamepads. Youxia wrote:C64 gaming is the same like any other gaming. That's the nice thing about such sticks, you can customize it individually until you have exactly what you want. ) until you find the perfect stick for your needs. You can exchange every single detail on such a stick with a slightly different one (the handle-length, the balltop/bat-top, colors, different buttons, restrictors, springs with different degree of hardness, microswitches, different actuators and and and. I have two SANWA JLF-TP-8YT joysticks here for many years and they are really fantastic. But the parts are worth it and and such a joystick lasts really long. ![]() Completely assembled with a beautiful housing, you have to spend a higher price for such a joystick, that's for sure. Buying joystick-parts of such brands individually and assembling the stick yourself then, is not that expensive. They have arcade-parts which can also be found in real arcade-cabinets. If money is not a problem - another good solution is to buy a real arcade-joystick, for example the brands SANWA, HORI or SEIMITSU. I write this, to save "jsantab428" the same disappointment, that I had, when I got the old model of this joystick two years ago, then played games with it for the very first time and immediately noticed the lag-problem. The new model works perfect innately and there is no need to change anything. In the meanwhile i have converted my old model of this joystick (product-number SL-6602) to a 9pin joystick, so that I can finally use him properly with a fast-reacting 9Pin-to-USB adapter on the PC. So he should take care, only buying the SL-650212-BKRD model of this joystick, with the others, gaming makes no fun. There is also written in the description "Increased signal rate versus the previous generation" which is the decisive sentence here. At least they changed this now and improved the newer model in this point. Then i wrote an Email to Speedlink about the problem and in their answer, they confirmed to me, that this stick is only queried by the PC 12,5 times a second. When i got my old model (product-number SL-6602) of this stick about two years ago, i recognized the lag-problem very soon, but could not exchange the joystick, because it was a gift from a friend and he no longer had the shopping-list. I have one and modded it in the meantime.īut the last model of the USB Competition Pro, the "Anniversary" variant, has a ten times faster polling-rate (125Hz) and then all these lag-problems are completely gone, because this means 8ms instead of 80ms. Fast action games you can forget with such a joystick. Reason why i mention this is - there are alot different models of this stick on the market and all of the older ones, which have other product-numbers than the one i wrote, have a big input-lag problem, because with such an older model, the stick is only queried 12,5 times a second, which means 80ms input-lag. But when he wants to buy a Speedlink USB Competition Pro joystick, he should take care, to buy the newer "Anniversary" model with the product-number: SL-650212-BKRD.

So really, it's just a matter of what you prefer and how much you want to spend.īTW, you should be able to use up to version of 3.2 of WinVICE under XP. WinVICE should detect this and use the controller. Windows will configure the directional control (D-pad, joystick, thumbstick, etc) and the buttons. You can also get adapters to plug in controllers from other systems, like NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, etc. You can get adapters to plug in actual Atari era joysticks to USB. You could even use something like a Logitech flightstick, like this Īlthough that wouldn't be the best choice, the point is that it would work. Most any USB controller or joystick should work. ![]() Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions. ![]() I am in the US if that info is also helpful. Can anyone suggest what I should get? This old Dell does not have Bluetooth, so I would need a USB connected joystick or gamepad. Welp, I had an old Dell Inspiron Mini 9 running Windows XP Home Edition, installed WinVice 2.1, and had my game of Hardball, but now I am wanting to get a joystick or gamepad to play some other games.
