ah cool- didn’t know that- I have an old joy stick for use with battlefield 1942- Think ill have to check the game out further- the videos are pretty cool for it
I purchased an adapter to use my old 15pin joysticks and flight simulator accessories with USB. Of course, the problem is that the hardware is so old that some of the variable resistors need to be cleaned with strong solvents that dissolve oxidation. And it can be difficult to get the solvent where it actually needs to get without a lot of disassembly.

It actually costs more than a cheap gamepad but it is interesting to be able to use old joysticks and other types of controllers.
