[Coco] Usb encoder

[M. David Johnson]

Thank you -

I've downloaded the Windows 64-bit version. I'll get the Debian and RetroPie versions later.

It'll probably be awhile before I try to do anything with attractmode or the joysticks - I'm currently semi-buried.

Ultimately, I suppose, I'll be wanting to use the joysticks with all three platforms, as well as with (gasp) a live CoCo2 and (gasp, choke!) other Windows and Linux programs.

I imagine constructing the sticks to be that versatile may be a bit of a challenge?

I am glad you found a source for it in the States. I assume that most item numbers can just be copied and pasted into your countries version of amazon

If you are planning to build a stand alone coco cab or multi platform emulator cab I would recommend using a GUI called 'atract mode'.I find it much easier to setup than HyperSpin  It is open source and allows you to launch Vcc, as well as any other emulator right from an on screen menu. The GUI uses the USB joystick (via zero delay encoder) natively. The GUI also allows you to setup the joystick and its buttons as hot keys. This way you can exit, reset, or perform a full screen with out the need of a physical keyboard.   The buttons can be easily mapped to replicate these keys

Yes they do.

If you notice the link is for amazon in Canada.

Just look for the same item at amazon.com instead.

Remember we have members from all over the world.

Cheers!
