Quick Shot II Joystick not working :-(

[DragonBlade]

Okay here's the story, I have checked through a lot of threads on here and I think I have covered all the menu's etc.

I have a couple of spectravideo Quick SHot II Joysticks attached via a USB to RS232 cable.

I cannot for the life of me get it to work. The device manager says its in Com Port 5 (which it is) and still nothing.

I have tried numerous settings so can someone PLEASE tell me where I am going wrong !!!!

Thanks in advance DB

It will not work with that adapter, simply because C64 joysticks are not RS232 devices.
You can build an interface yourself by soldering a few wires to a standard USB game controller.
How you can do this, is explained here.

Thanks for the heads up and reply K.C.

I guess I'll have to use the bulky Logitech GIANT joystick......although I do have 2 joysticks so may just have a crack at your idea.

Thanks again DB

I've just checked your link again and I get it. Think I'll have a look on ebay for a cheap controller OR I could use one of the old PS2 controllers I have ? ?
