- I'm looking for some technical info on joystick connection to a PC game
- port. I know the game port pin out, but it is somewhat cryptic as to the
- actual hookup.
-
- What I want to do is use an analog joystick from an old computer system on
- my PC.
-
- I know, joysticks are cheap, why bother. Well, I like this joystick
- layout, plus, being a hardware hacker, I can't resist.
-
- The joystick I want to use contains 2 potentiometers and 2 pushbuttons.
- How should they be connected to the game port?
-
- Thanks,
