Hi all,

Just got my hands on a battlestation II arcade quality joystick. Does
anyone know the wiring for this thing or how to interface it to a pc?

Cheers,
CR

I've got one o them as well Haven't used it for MAME
though, only on the Commie 64. There's apparently adapters to
go from MegaDrive and SuperNES pads to PC, which would work with
the Battlestation, since it supports both these systems.

Ive pretty much decided that im going to build an interface circuit so
that it looks like a pc keyboard.

Ive opened it up and decoded the internal 34 pin IDC connector. Its more
or less one wire for one switch.

Will post a link when im done.
