Or you can get a Competition Pro USB from DLink

I bought 2 Competition Pro USB SL-6602 joysticks and unfortunately I found them too stiff to play properly with them. Hence I bought the more expensive Retro Adapter. Are there any non-stiff versions?

They weren't like that back then.

Hi, I bought an USB joystick adapter from sinchai.de. But how do I configure VICE (or any other emulator) to recognize it?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Here under Linux it is detected just fine as a usb device and I simply select "Analog Joystick" 0 or 1 for that matter.

To add to a resurrected thread and a question IMHO not really belonging here: I found the Speedlink Competition Pro USB version which I connected here much too slow. The no-name Playstation alike joypad is much faster on reactions.

Yeah, works the same for Windows. Plug it in and start up VICE, go to joystick settings and find it in drop-down.

yep, those idiots managed to configure the usb chip for the lowest polling rate it supports (50ms)

It works now. There was a loose soldering joint probably.
Nothing beats a Suzo Arcade joystick with microswitches :-) (especially not the keyboard).
