Joystick Question

[karmaKid]

Hi, I'm looking at getting a GP2X, and I would like to know if it is possible to attach an old style arcade joystick and keyboard via a USB hub to it for a bit of spectrum/amiga emulation....

If so, can anyone recommend me a joystick to match the trusty competition pro I had in my Amiga days??

Cheers to everyone reading this!

It's not in stock, but it looks like it might be worth waiting on.

I have no idea if it works or not (I can't see why it shouldn't) but I came across this the other day. Brough back some fond memories too!

Very nice, but these days that joystick looks more like something I'd buy the missus... <_< oh how the years have flown! Thanks guys for the info, although I take it I *can* use a USB joystick and keyboard with the GP2X, then?

Cheers,

Yes provided you buy the cradle for it (readily available). Google it.

I actually use these with authentic SNES pads with the cradle, and they work great!
