Joystick pinout:
It was brought to my attention that pins 4 & 5 where reversed. It looks like it is misprinted in the Drawing Set. It shows pin 4 as Up/Down Direction 1 (PA2), and pin 5 as Up/Down switch C1 (PA3). The interface pcb pinout shows: Up/Down Direction 1 = (PA3), and Up/Down switch C1 = (PA2). Thanks to Anthony P.! |
This hack allows you to play Sinistar with a standard 8-way joystick rather than the 49-way optical one. On the microswitches on the bottom of the joystick you should find three connectors: COM or GROUND - the ground pin Note that joysticks lacking the normally closed
circuit will not be adaptable using these directions. GROUND Connections to the Sinistar Interface board:
