I got some amazing 2600 USB joysticks from Curt Vendell a few months ago. Â I thought they would be amazing for my new game console.
Problem is, while they are terrific for playing the game, they don’t work for selecting the game options. Â I didn’t see this coming, but of course there are a lot of physical buttons on the base consoles, and how can those be replicated on the controller? Â This seems like it will be the biggest problem with the Atari 2600.
Should I add a keyboard/mouse combination to my retro console? Â That seems a little ‘not faithful’ to the original console concept.
What to do? Â What to do….
