Thats the early gameport CH type. It is perfect for shift register use. I converted mine with a 74HC165 shift reg and it is awesome! I modified another later USB type which had a diode array for a friend (with a CD4021), but it required much more work. Have a look at the following thread and ask if you need help.

Btw does anyone know if I need to hardware debounce encoders or if MMJoy2 does that in software?



Damn, I have already started with the diode matrix on mine but I think I will be satisfied with it. Also progressing rather slowly since I have to get my MA done xD. So this is mainly procrastination. Dein Projekt sieht aber sehr cool aus! smile
