Haven’t posted here in a while:

I’m off work for the holidays, so I figured it was a good time to make a #USB joystick for my AIO emulation TV.

My main design goal here is to exclusively use parts I already have. In this case, it’s the electronics from a very cheap USB controller that came in a pack of 2 for $5. I’m housing it in the storage case from a Sony Betamax video tape, with a microswitch joystick, buttons, wires, and breadboards leftover from other projects.

I have the parts tested and working, and now I’m dremeling out the holes, and mounting the rest of buttons and circuits on the bread board. The dremeling sucks because Sony went overboard on this case. Aside from protecting a tape, I’m pretty sure this thing could stop a bullet. 😆

I just started playing the new #C64 port of “Eye of the Beholder” I never played the original, so it’s cool to see it with fresh eyes.

It’s also a great excuse to use the USB adapter feature on my SavYour device. It works great with this Fujistsu ball mouse. One of the few USB mice I’ve seen that aren’t optical. Works flawlessly here.
