Title: JeST - a PSX to Atari joypad convertor
Post by CJ on 27.03.09 at 01:14:29

I'd just like to give this product the official D-Bug *RECOMMENDED* stamp of aproval.

Expect a full review on the news page soon :)

Playing the ST version of Wings of Death, on an Falcon, using Amiga music, controlled by a PSX Dual Shock controller, and (for extra smugness) launched via a double-click from a Microsoft Optical Mouse (PeST also ROCKS!) is a very nice experience indeed!!

Thank you Alison!

It can do 'double-click' I think. Well a kind of double click anyway. By assigning one of the buttons to autofire on button-2 I think it is.

If I can pay with something else than Paypal, I might be interested in buying one for sure....

Whoops. Sorry that I hadn't replied to this before.

Yes, cheques are fine in the UK. Also EBAN numbers are fine in the EU.

I'm also now on version 008. CJ has a load of controllers and a couple wouldn't work. It was a timing issue. I inserted a couple of NOPs after the ACK line is pulled low. Identical controllers too, one would work, one wouldn't. Thing is that they're all made in China, and they make small changes/use different firmware without telling anyone.
