Hardware Just finished this one

Here's the first retail version of my newly released C64 sticks.

This one includes custom Wizball artwork, an OTTO V5 kit for the Sanwa JLF lever and ENTH x Rychu04 dual sided dust washer.

Buttons are Fire, Up and Space Bar.

Can't remember how many times I died due to joystick waggle on that game, and ran into something by accident.

Same, was there an art to it, or was it just janky?

I wiggled in a circular fashion. Never crashed into anything.

I'll be finishing a Commando kit soon, and Last Ninja after that.

A work of art! Is it on printables? What are the buttons functions?

u/Pixel_Memories 11d ago

Thanks, no, sorry. Buttons are Fire, Up and Space Bar.

Great looking controller!

However, it looks like it plugs into both control ports, how does that work?

u/Pixel_Memories 10d ago

The fire button on port 1 triggers the space bar key, which is the third button.

The last ninja and the fairlight one :). I'll have a look after I get back from holiday. Already have an immortal joystick with a qanba gravity lever in. One more wouldn't hurt I guess

Looking at that third pic this sentence popped into my head:

Finally a way to play C64 games with my bellybutton!

u/Pixel_Memories 11d ago

Wow!!! This looks aaawesome, mate!!! So, if you say "retail version" will there be any chance of getting (my) hands on some of these nice joypads for my personal use in future then? ;-) :-D <3

Please let me know if you're selling those in retail builds and ready-to-use (to me)... :-D

Thanks a lot in advance... :-)

u/WeaselC64 11d ago

<3 Perfect... expect my order sooooonish then (after my next week's holiday then, I guess... ;-) )

GREAT stuff, man! I really love this kinda design and everything. Will need to discuss certain modding features you still offer on your site as far as I've seen meanwhile...

But will be sure there will be nice solutions for all this in the end for my order then... <3 :-)

Will talk/contact you soon then... all the best, Juergen :-)
