- Hi, here's Andrea from Milano.
- I made up my mind for the same question, and I found a pretty solution...
-
- You have to open your keyboard and solder a few wires in parallel between
- ground and the key you choose (typically, arrows...)
- Then, you have to bring all this wires to a CANNON 9-Pin connector (the same
- you have on Amiga) and you can connect joystick into it. When playng any game,
- you can always choose "keyboard Control"
- When the program asks your keys, you reply moving joystick in the appropriate
- direction. To use 4 buttons, I suggest you to choose 4 keys from the keyboard,
- in a comfortable position...
- Hope this helps
