recommended joystick
Don't know which section to post this in, but I was hoping for a suggestion on joysticks for the Nabu. Thanks!

Re: recommended joystick
Any Atari type joystick that worked with a 2600 or C64 will work.

Re: recommended joystick
I have a couple generic Atari type ones off Amazon. I don’t know how I played them for hours as a kid, they’re not terribly comfortable to use for more than 10 minutes to me now.

Re: recommended joystick
I have a couple of Hyperkin Trooper joysticks, and they are pretty decent, and a step up from the No-name Atari 2600-style joysticks you normally get on Amazon. It’s also available there. If you want more of an arcade feel, then building your own is the way to go. The fairly cheap Chinese arcade buttons and sticks you pick up on Amazon or E Bay are actually pretty good, and would make a much better feeling joystick. I have one wired up to USB in a 3d printed case and one I used in an arcade cabinet I built a few years ago, and when I get round to it I’m going to build one with a 9 pin DE connector too.

Re: recommended joystick
I’ll second the Hyperkin, I like the dpad style one.
