Does nobody manufacture this kinds of joysticks in a modern interface anymore? Would plugging one trough an adapter to a modern computer even work?

I know they were more of a compromise than anything else, and that arcade sticks are basically better in every way, but those are also hella expensive, and for 2 or more player games they're a bit of a pain to set up. Besides this old joysticks were pretty comfy if they were of good quality.

And also I think the most similar things nowadays are flight sticks, but I don't think you'll want to risk an expensive and sensible flight stick playing a fighting game or something.

Flight sticks are nothing like digital joysticks. Even gamepads with a +button or similar are closer.

There were USB versions of the Competition Pro but they're out of stock everywhere.
>Would plugging one trough an adapter to a modern computer even work?
As long as you get the correct adapter.
Most joysticks used the Atari style DB-9 connector. IBM compatible computers also used DB-9 for the serial port but it has a different pinout and shouldn't be compatible.

So is the best chance of using one on a modern system to just get the right adapter then? Sucks, because those old joysticks are going to get rarer and rarer.

Who are you quoting?

Op.
You might be able to realize that by searching this thread for the quote.

I basically made pick related for my msx using arcade parts and an empty psu frame
>>
>>3614820
What kind of PSU? ATX seems a lot larger than a joystick.
>>
just make one with sanwa buttons/joystick and a project box with one of the many available microcontrollers that'll output to usb
>>
>>3613337
Not that I know of. Not sure why you're comparing this to a "hella expensive" arcade stick. A $10 fight stick would be a better fit.

I use a Rockfire RM-203 adapter with a CH Products Mach 2 joystick. Works great with DOS games (DOSBox).

What about Windows games?

It can be calibrated in Windows, so I don't know why it wouldn't work with a Windows game. But I have no Windows games that would benefit from using it.
